And I’m being serious. I feel like there might be an argument there, I just don’t understand it. Can someone please “steelman” that argument for me?

    Thanks for enabling Trump you ginormous ass hat. I will remember your entitled self righteous indignation when Ukraine falls. When Trump talks about eradicating the Palestinian people. And when Russia starts taking small bites of NATO countries, while Trump refuses to respond to article 5 requests.

    Sending a message to the democratic party was something you could have done before the election. By getting involved. But noooo let’s send the message by handing the US to a fascist and convicted felon, that’s far easier.

    Edit: I just saw the .ml now. Good one tankie, you got me all riled up. I believe you can now collect a kopek from your boss for your trouble.

      You can disagree with that guy. That’s fine. But you need to understand that your attitude mirrors the attitude of the democratic party, and it literally just cost them the election.

      Ignore the people who want change, assuming they’ll vote for you anyway is a great way to get them to vote for someone else.

      Reform or fail.

        What’s so weird to me is how Americans can just be “oh bother! The not fascist prodemocracy party lost. If only I would care enough to do something, oh well better luck next time.” why aren’t you guys screaming?

        Trump’s relationship with Putin is going to change the current world order. You know the world? It’s where the US is?

        If that’s too abstract, then look at the remaining SCOTUS judges. With Trump in the Whitehouse then Alito and Thomas can step down and be replaced with more Gen Xers ensuring right-wing dominance for the next 30 years. Repealing Roe v Wade is going to be dwarfed by the what’s coming now.

        Harris wasn’t ideal. Harris was as interesting as a corporate newsletter. But at least she wasn’t a threat to democracies worldwide. Harris would have meant less injustice, but not “no injustice”. But because people couldn’t get no injustice, they stayed home and got 20x the injustice they would have gotten otherwise. And now they’re justifying that? GTFO!

        The US political system is broken. But it’s broken deliberately by one side to suit them, while the other side is too busy blaming each other for their own common failures to do anything.

        Democrats are alright with failure, they’re gonna make serious bank anyway. Their voters, though? Idk why they act like they are part of this campaign, when they might as well have been cardboard cutouts as far as the DNC is concerned. They’re the worst kind of politicucked.

      It wouldn’t have mattered anyway. Third party votes didn’t total up enough to make a difference if Harris got them all or not. I can’t blame people for acting in accordance with their conscience whether I agree with it or not. What’s done is done. Let’s move on and figure out the next steps we need to take.
