    We didn’t try it in 2024. How do you rate the results of that one?

      What are you talking about?

      The Democrats ran the centrist (again), and vote blue no matter who was the mantra everywhere I looked.

      The voters that didn’t fail Kamala.

      The voters didn’t fail the Democratic party.

      Kamla and the Democratic party failed the voters.

        We should have had a primary. I’ll never forgive Biden for that.

        I also don’t forgive people who knew better and still didn’t vote for the only viable alternative to Trump.

        We have to put together a winning coalition to get these monsters out of power, but that coalition isn’t going to line perfectly with your or my politics. If it did, it would alienate a lot of people to our right, which is probably at least 90% of the country in both our cases. Somebody has to hold their nose and vote for the lesser of two evils.

          I don’t care if your genocidal psychopathic ass doesn’t forgive me; you’re pure evil. You being mad at us means we’re doing something right. Make note how you don’t have any antipathy for the people to your right (as if it’s possible to be to the right of active genocide).
