There was never any semblance of a bar.

Why would he quit? He did what he was hired to do.

Which is also what happens if you’re progressive and vote Democrat.

This is from the perspective of a blue voter in a red state. As long as something is a Red State Problem, Democrats in blue states figure that everyone in the state likes things as they are and deserves it.

If there was some solidarity with workers nationwide and not just in your own states. If there was solidarity with trans people instead of Democratic candidates parroting rightwing hate about “boys in girls sports.” If there was solidarity on cannabis or abortion. If there were tangible benefits Democrats could point to that people in red states actually experienced, there would be fewer red states.

But no. Everyone in a red state deserves to be abandoned, regardless of how they vote.

Have you considered that not everyone in red states are Republicans?

Lemmings in blue states, are you scared that you might get at the national level what you keep callously saying we deserve?

Because maybe if you had some fucking solidarity, there would be fewer red states. We’re doing shitty, thank you for all the nothing, and you’ll be right there with us soon.

Remember that cops have no duty to protect. Every time you see a cop protecting a nazi, that cop chose to protect that nazi.

Cannabis is still Schedule I and Trump can’t un-pardon people.

No. There is literally nothing that can happen and certainly nothing I can say that will get spoiled centrists to ever accept that in order to get voters to the polls, you might have to get only 98% of everything you want.

You need to court voters. You consider such behavior beneath you.

The party is willing to throw anyone but Netanyahu and Cheney under the bus and has no fucking clue at all why people stay home.

Second worst isn’t sufficient to win. Blaming the voters because you don’t want to be better won’t change that.

And primary season?! What primary season? Democrats haven’t had a primary without a preordained winner since 2008. We didn’t even have primaries this year. And the last time centrists didn’t get their very first choice in the primaries, they formed a PAC to get McCain elected. Don’t preach about primaries when they’re a sham and you always get what you want out of them.

The left has no candidates. The last time centrists didn’t get 100% of everything they wanted, they formed a PAC to try to get McCain elected, but they’ll certainly get mad at anyone who even considers expecting better.

Republicans consider a “joke” to mean what they retroactively designate something that they meant in earnest as soon as they get pushback.

Yes, I know what he said. It’s why I voted for Harris. That doesn’t mean he’s going to be able to pull it off. And as before, the most I can do here is hope that you’re wrong. Not tell you you’re wrong.

The most I can do here is hope you’re wrong.

Pretty much, yeah. Not only that, you can cross-reference it with other fascists if they ever deny knowing each other. Or cross-reference it with police, but I repeat myself.

Well, if this is going to be used by shitty people, we should use and abuse it to the absolute hilt.

If privacy is dead, it’s dead for everyone. Not just good people living their lives.

Any phone that spends Sunday morning at a megachurch? Let’s see what massage parlors or whose houses they spend time at. Let’s see where they are during that “business trip”.

Actions speak louder. But at least it’s not overt marketing yet.

Those who hold power have already said it with their abortion bans with no exemptions in case of rape.

Wonder who the new Manchin is gonna be.

Or they slow-walked the investigations because they wanted to run against Trump again.

Democrats are already seeking her endorsement for 2028.
