yes clearly it wasnt the candidates or the fact that they chose the directions of their campaigns, funded far rightwing war crimes, ignored the lower and middle classes, and tried to steer hard right so they could take bribes and appeal to right wingers, or that the trump prosecution got slow walked. it was 'people like me'.
Inciteful contribution to making the US a better place. Good job infinitebanjo, as usual. If only everyone had gone along with whatever the eff Biden/Harris wanted, things would clearly be so much better! They were giving us all what we wanted, clearly. Best dems ever. Harris was a breath away from handing out glocks for everyone Oprah-style. You get a glock! you get a glock!
It does beg the question, would the Israeli warcrimes be continuing unabated if Harris/Biden/aipac side had won? What do you think, banjo?
Every time we have to pick between bad and worse for 30 years we've picked fucking worse, so yes its your goddamn fault.
Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome each time is the definition of insanity. But you centrists keep trying to win this way.
The dems lost support across basically every demographic and minority group, and youve allienated a lot of the youth maybe for good. True? Maybe time to stop doing that then?
