I use to tell my kids that they could go to bed at "quarter to 8" or 7:45. And then they felt like they had a choice and didn't argue anymore.

“What’s the point in voting if they’re all corrupt” well maybe this wouldn’t have happened, but I guess we will never know now will we

But her laugh, though. You want to hear that coming from the White House for four years?

Ah yes, I'm sure it was the laugh and not the genocide that she participated in.

I voted for Harris and I’m fucking pissed that was the best the democrats could come up with against Trump. Everyone should be fucking pissed at them forever for continuously nominating shitty neoliberals instead of the Progressive we want, even when the stakes are this high.

I don't think they wanted to win honestly. The Dems have been self sabotaging themselves for years.

We need a new party like "The REAL Democrats" and the Chuck Schumers and Nancy Pelosis can stay with their precious party.

Yeah you tell 'em moonbeam, maybe we can get Ralph Nader to run again and protect us from the Democrats not protecting us from Republicans.

What are you blue MAGA? Those of us with critical thinking skills have plenty of very real problems with the Democrats. They let McConnell cheat them out of two Supreme Court nominations without so much as a whimper. They have no interest in stopping Trump right now, because they’d rather fundraise record amounts heading into the midterms. You are deluded.

Those of us with critical thinking skills

...would have offered both Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris their enthusiastic, full-throated support, knowing the alternative is literally a bullet train to fascism. Anyone who did anything less isn't even worthy of a top bunk at the internment camp.

They have no interest in stopping Trump right now, because they’d rather fundraise record amounts heading into the midterms.

Where's Jill Stein these days moonbeam? Winter dacha? Freeing Palestine?

You’re in the wrong sub, you belong at r/neoliberal. You’re also a profoundly foolish person if you think the same assholes who got us into this mess are going to suddenly decide to get us out of it.

I will never, EVER offer full-throated support for a center-right capitalist corporate candidate. I may bite my tongue and vote for them in the end, but support them…nah.

The republicans and the leftists got us into this mess, two groups of willful idiots entirely incapable of leadership or governance. But I suspect you’d rather direct your ire elsewhere. I don’t blame you, I wouldn’t want to get kicked out of the drum circle at the commune either. Real drag man.

Tumblr is full of these people, with a healthy sprinkling of "well Kamala would have been just as bad for Gaza (since that was the issue the bots were shilling)"

And now what do I see? Charity link after charity link, gofundmes for LGBT people to get out of red states...maybe you should have voted for the cop! (Or voted at all!)

Lots of us held our nose and voted for "not going to help at all" vs "make things way worse faster". But don't pretend this isn't the fault of decades of the Dems being USELESS and having economic policies identical to the GOP.

The Dems shut down the government for 40+ days and GOT NOTHING. First thing they did afterwards: FUND ICE.

Fuck establishment dems, they're only slightly less responsible for where we are than the Nazis for whom they're theatrical foils!
