It’s not just rural voters. I was just at a dentist apt in suburban Washington and the hygienist was talking about how her son just moved away from California and that she was glad he was getting away because of “how bad the crime has gotten in California”.
Don’t try to make sense of it. These people don’t operate within the confines of logic, only what is convenient to their agenda in the moment.
Trump was found liable for rape, was responsible for fumbling America’s response to COVID killing a lot more than just people’s grandparents, and incited a violent insurrection against the Nation’s capitol and despite all that America handed him back the keys to the Whitehouse.
The majority of Americans seem to have short memories. Hopefully New Yorkers are better than that.
If NY elects Cuomo, one of America’s most powerful blue states will be in Trump’s pocket.
So the 75 million of us who voted against Trump are responsible for the Americans who voted for Trump? We were supposed to convince everyone to vote for Dems? Isn’t that the Dems job?
They had four years to hold the last Trump administration accountable and prevent all this.
The majority aren’t paying enough attention to distinguish left from right policies. They couldn’t define fascism, let alone recognize the Right’s propensity towards it. They voted for change, for a relief from the status quo that is cannibalizing the middle class. Trump promised them the moon while the Democrats told us the status quo is working, “We have the best economy in the world”, and the Harris administration is effectively going to be a continuation of Biden’s agenda.
You can blame the majority for being so woefully uneducated or you can accept that they are and recognize that the Dems need to offer something other than good intentions in the form of gutted legislation that pleases their donors and goes widely unnoticed by the general public.
When a populace is so disillusioned with one party that they choose to hand total control over to the other party, would you not conclude that the first party failed to appeal to the populace? Is it not the responsibility of the party to convince the populace to vote for them?
Many people on the left seem to think the Democrats are entitled to votes because of how terrible Republican politics are. This has even been the foundation of the Democrats’ campaign against Trump over the last decade, “vote for Dems because Trump is bad”. A strategy with a success rate of 1-in-3, which would have been 0-in-3 if there hadn’t been a once-in-a-century global pandemic to help bring gravity to the Dems’ messaging at the perfect time, and even then they barely eeked out a win.
He also failed to step down when faced with compelling evidence that he would lose to Trump. If we had an honest primary, I don’t think we’d be in this mess. Instead, he held on to power up until the last minute and the Democratic constituency yet again got a candidate they didn’t want.
*Executed, extra judicially
Ain’t no way these fucks are going to let up at the opportunity to unload their mags into anybody who shoots at them.
What a sniveling little bitch
They’ve been jerking themselves off to deploying the military against California for decades. This is their fantasy come true and they can hardly wait.
On one hand, this would be hilarious. On the other hand, the affirmation Trump would get out of exercising that kind of power over the richest man in history would be terrifying.
Congress: “Yeah whatever, do what the orange guy says.”
He’s proven that he can’t be reasoned with and is effectively immune from accountability. At this point, casting blame upon him is essentially the same as blaming a natural disaster for the destruction it causes. If you get burned while playing with fire, would it be rational to blame the fire?
I also hate that that’s our reality. But I see people arguing that blaming Democrats for dropping the ball gives Trump and the Republican party a free pass to be shitty and this is my dilemma.
My state rejected the state-wide RCV measure in November :-\
Get one with a heated seat and he’ll forgive you even if he doesn’t come around to the butt spray. Heated seats are something I never knew I needed and now that I have it I can never go back. I cringe whenever I’m at a friend’s house and I need to sit on their cold toilet seat.
I invested in a bidet shortly after the pandemic mania. I laugh in the face of toilet paper.
If he gets the nomination in 2028 then we’re beyond royally fucked.
Not to worry, I’m sure the crowd who loves to scream, “The right to bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” any time gun control is being discussed will be strongly opposed to this too. Right…?
