  • Is this not the most frustrating thing in the world?

    These people want to demonize the policies of the Republicans but when the Dems engage in the exact same policies in their neverending shift to the right, you’re given every excuse or justification for why they’re neccesary and called a trouble maker or shill for pointing them out, and given the most condescending “bOtH SiDeS!” responses.

    Now, this has cost us yet another election, and these people want to blame us for it rather than looking in the mirror. Turns out trying to out-fascist the fascists isn’t a winning election strategy.







  • There is no excuse for this kind of behavior from Democratic voters. The above argument suggests Harris is not competing against Trump, but competing against the ideals of the Democratic voters. If this was really a matter of candidate vs candidate, on the issues, Trump would have lost. But this time Democratic voters fucked themselves because everything on their list wasn’t met. And now nothing on their list is met.

    I never said leftist.

    So who are you referring to, the right-wing neoliberals of the party whose ideals align perfectly with people like Biden, Harris, George W. Bush, and Reagan?

    Maybe appealing to right-wing ideals isn’t a winning strategy for a party who’s supposed to be representing the left, but maybe they need to lose a few more elections over it just to be sure.

    And how many elections are you (and DNC leaders) willing to lose by insisting that you’re correct and everyone else is the problem? That running as a “diet Republican” is the correct strategy instead of appealing to the left? Liberals have spent the last 8 years (and more) attacking leftists and spouting Republican rhetoric and now you want to blame those same leftists because your strategy failed yet again (for nearly the third time in a row)? That’s rich.
