Democrats have all the spontaneity of the House of Windsor. Or, closer to home, they’re closer to what Republicans once were, a party that falls in line not in love.

    Part of me just wants trump to win just so the groups looking to ‘punish’ Biden for not doing their will will have a blast under another 4 years of trump. You vote with your head for the good of the country as a whole, not with your emotions for the whims of your clan.

      We’ve been given the choice between an insane fascist and an ethnic cleansing apologist. That the second is the “good” option is utterly shameful.

        Don’t get started on the climate. No matter who wins the US will break its own oil production record.

      So…

      In your mind, the people screaming their voices raw that Biden is an unpopular candidate, and could lose like Hillary did in 2016…

      If they’re right, and Biden does lose, you’re going to blame them for trying to warn everyone before it was too late to change candidates?

      That’s the same logic that got medicine women burned as witches when they said somone won’t survive an illness.

      Like, I see that shit all the time here, it never makes any sense, and when I try to get someone to explain why they think that, I usually just get some weird insult or no reply at all.

      When covid broke out, were you also yelling at scientists to shut up because as long as you weren’t aware of the danger you thought it couldn’t hurt you?

        Democrats would rather lose and have someone to blame than move to the left.

          If they lose to a Republican, they’re back in power in 4-8 years.

          If they lose to a FDR style Dem, then they may never get power of the party back.

          That’s why the DNC fights progressives harder than republicans.

          Meanwhile progressives are trying to stop fascism and our own side keeps tripping us and then lecturing us while the fascists keep on marching.
