    Blame dems for running shit candidates.

    Imagine if Bernie won the nomination in 2016…

    We’d have 8 years of Sanders and then democrats would be running someone comparable or even better.

    But the ruling class didn’t like that, so this is what we get.

    I hope trump wins just to punish biden supporters. Tired of these wet-noodle candidates that do nothing.

    Don’t blame me. Blame everyone who voted for Hillary in the 2016 primary. They are the problem.

      “I hope we all lose American Democracy to punish my neighbors that don’t hold the exact same political views as me! Now we can ALL be unhappy forever!”

        Democracy was lost the moment we allowed unlimited funds to be pumped into campaigns.

        I’m just being real about the situation instead of living in a fantasy land like a lot of people.

        Of course, those same people get mad when I point out reality.

      He said, from his cushy position of privilege.

        If Trump is Putin’s puppet and Putin supports Hamas, then wouldn’t Trump be better for the people of Gaza than Biden?

        Unless Trump isn’t Putin’s puppet or Putin doesn’t support Hamas?

      I will absolutely blame you. I wanted Sanders enough to switch parties to vote for him in the primary. I get it.

      But this time isn’t about getting what we want. This is about reducing harm. The math is simple, more people will die and suffer under Trump. He will vilify the weakest of us to give his base red meat to chew on. Do you not have enough examples as to what happens when a population is dehumanized? Is that a thing you will allow in order to keep your ideals pristine?

      You want change? Start local. Find like minded people and build a resilient community -that’s where we can find power. Start voting people into office from the bottom up.

      It’s a sprint right now to stop the worst from happening but a marathon to make an equitable society.

        “Generic Democrat” polls better than Biden. You can argue he has a chance, but you can’t argue that he’s popular, or polling well against Trump. I kind of take issue with “crushed” a descriptor of 2020 too. Skin of his teeth seems more reasonable, and in an environment that’s completely different from right now. They did it with Hillary, another very unpopular candidate and we got Trump. They’re doing it again now, and it seems nuts to go so balls out against actual voters rather than the people who are literally deciding who the candidate is. But what do I know🤷‍♂️

      The Republican Congress since Mitch McConnell’s 2010 class is responsible for killing most government action since the middle of the Obama administration. The Republican party is the actual problem.
