    People still doubling down on their actions in 24, not acknowledging that those very actions led to the orange idiot being elected. Again.

    As long as there is no acknowledgement, we can expect a repeat of the very same in 28, possibly with the literal devil on the other side, while the voters smugly criticize the minutae of the more sensible candidate and sit it out.

    Sometimes you put yourself aside in the interest of the country.

      Oh look - it’s the DNC Defense Force, here to get an early start on guilt-tripping leftists who won’t vote for whichever shitty center right neolib hack the DNC will likely end up trying to foist on the voters at the behest of their corporate donors.

      Fuck that. It’s not the voters’ responsibility to vote for a piece of shit just because they stink a little bit less than the other piece of shit - it’s the DNC’s responsibility to run candidates people actually want to vote for. And when they can’t (or more accurately won’t) even do that, then they and nobody else are responsible for the consequences.

        And this is how we got to Trump, the other side acts like psychos but at least they have kind of a coherent football team mentality going on, even if they’re fucking ignorant racist sons of bitches. They don’t focus on the minutia of how they disagree with each other at every turn and spew vitriol and divide themselves like this. Nobody fucking hates the other factions on the left like a lefty. We are all so fractured and individual it’s a fucking joke. Like herding fucking cats, buddy. We should be able to use the anger from this moment to unite, but none of us can even decide what the fuck we should be uniting around. Meanwhile violent sociopathic pedophiles can corral enough morons to crash their way into the capitol whenever they want. We all have lofty ideals about the best possible form of government and the people to staff that government, but in order to have an operational government you have to have a team of people who are united. We can’t even agree on the morality of violence, much less point of finger in the direction we should go from here. Fucking frustrating homies.

          Oh and…

          The fact that this whole norion of a lack of lefty unity is complete bullshit was neatly demonstrated by leftist voters coming together to overwhelmingly support Zohran Mamdani.

          And who didn’t support him? The fucking establishment neolib hacks - the exact same people who keep fucking us over by putting up shitty candidates then trying to guilt trip leftists into voting for them. We finally got a candidate we wanted and they couldn’t even be arsed to endorse him.

            Enjoy the next 3 then. It’s not even what I’m implying. In fact, I’m positive you will - the fact that the two comments above sound the same tell me all I need to know.

            At least flip your scripts once in a while.

      oh look, another votescold so thoroughly convinced that everything would have been fine if only everyone followed their campaign strategy, that they’re literally blaming anti-fascists for fascism. How about blaming actual fascists instead?

        Ok, I’ll take the non raping, non narcissist, non child abusing, non twice impeached, non trying to save his fat lardy ass, non looking to use the office to take revenge on anyone and anything he disagrees with one, thanks.
