    I’m not sure anyone here works for the DNC. We’re not trying to get ourselves elected. People are absolutely allowed to criticize others for the intended consequences of their actions when they get exactly what’s expected. In this case, they’ve alienated themselves.

      “It’s my way of sticking it to The Man.”

      “Sir, you are The Man.”

      “That’s right.”

      “So… aren’t you sticking it to yourself?”

      “… Maybe.”

      Yes, that’s good! Let’s pretend it’s not our problem that they didn’t vote for the Democrats, even though we clearly cared about the outcome of the election! And if we blame them for the alienation they feel, we never have to examine what the party could have done differently! It’s brilliant!

        Feels aren’t reals.

        Fuck those people - I hope they die “sleep soundly forever” first. 👍

        But of course they’ll probably shit out a dozen children the rest of us have to support instead.

        Yay humanity.

          Hmm, I like the energy here, but it might be a little aggressive, even for the Democrats. Remember, the tone you want to hit with Muslim voter outreach is, “Condescending paternalism as you explain what’s best for them,” not, “death wishes mixed with xenophobic dog whistles about their welfare babies.”
