Once again, those 7 million or so asshats that didn't vote for Kamala because of 'GeNoCiDe JoE', this is on you.
But not the 75 million fascists
Them too. Both are equally to blame.
You're either with me or against me 💯
When you keep having to vote for the lesser evil for so long, you get Trump.
Democrats were a lesser evil and that wasn't enough.
Imagine your house is on fire. You know you can put it out. You just have to get the right tools. Along come the democrats.
They promise you left and right that if you can make just one more donation they will help you put out the fire. You accept. They take your money and tell you that there is nothing that they can do to help you even though they have all the means and capabilities to do so. They got firetrucks around the corner and helicopter based water hoses. They even have a genie that could magically put out your fire and rebuild your house that would cost them nothing to disperse. The parliamentarian says there is no room in the budget for putting out fires even though it would cost nothing.
They tell you it's your neighbors fault who's house is also on fire. They say, "well if he had donated to us then we could have helped him like we are helping you." As the fire grows and consumes the whole structure Kamala Harris arrives to recount the single mother story for all the people suffering from burning houses.
They ask her what this has to do with their houses being on fire and she cuts them off - "I am speaking." She is booed by the people who have become restless because their houses have become ash.
"Don't worry people, I know how to solve your problems" as she pulls out a big check. "How much do you think it'll cost to rebuild your houses?"
The estimate it will take about $10 billion.
"Alright then how about $100 billion?" She offers. She also hands them each a $100 bill so they they can get groceries for the week.
The residents rejoice. They can't believe it. They are saved or so they think. When they finally get the money they are confused. She must have made a mistake
The $100 for groceries were given to them directly while the check is made out to Israel.
"Do you condemn Hamas?' Harris asks as she grabs Liz Cheney and a blowtorch.
Every time you vote blue or red a small country in the middle east gets more of your tax dollars. Stop the madness.
As a country we were given the choice between letting one house burn vs letting the entire city burn, and instead of making a helpful choice a group of people decided to protest fire, and yet more decided to just sit at home while the world burned around them.
They knew what the choices were. Trump flat out said he didn’t care about the constitution, didn’t care about human life, and didn’t care about democracy.
Maybe even better, when they were given a choice between a house or the whole village on fire, some people were like "yeah a flood will stop all this so I'm gunna just bank on one coming" even though there hasn't been any significant rain in a long whole.
In fairness, they did get at least a little flooding when that one dam was ordered to purge a not insignificant amount of water.
Lol hey guys I'm stuck in the past and still mad the the democrats put up the worst candidate in history and lost even though I voted for her. I'm going to cling to the idea that if people who didn't believe in her voted for her we would be in a better place even though she was humiliated on a national stage. Because I voted for her. That's why she would be better.
Where is she now, this champion of the people?
Exactly.
Wait, you think letting houses burn down is “championing”?
Where the fuck do you live? I want nothing to do with it.
That's a lot of words to say "I don't understand politics and only care about one single issue"
An idiot fills the room with words.
I will continue to say "perfect must not be the enemy of good".
These asshats wanted perfect without understanding the complexity behind getting perfect. Good change does not happen overnight. It happens slowly over multiple smaller good changes.
Good luck with that incremental change. It lost 2 of the last 3 elections and seems to not mind losing after crying about facsism.
Incremental change is happening whether you like it or not. History has shown the world is moving in a direction you don't like whether you like it or not. Things like interracial marriage aren't going anywhere regardless of how much your bigoted ass winges about it.
You are right except they are changing in ways we both don't like and you are stuck on identity politics instead of realizing who the real enemies are. They are the people who tell you "Nothing is going to fundmentally change."
Look at what the MAGA idiots were able to accomplish because they were promised wholesale change. They are blowing up the government for fun.
Why didn't the democrats ever do something like the republicans are doing now except instead of screwing people help people?
Biden on day one should have signed Universal Healthcare into executive order and signed a new one every day until the people got healthcare. Take it to court like Trump is so eager to do for anything. They don't fight for you.
They say your life depends on you voting for them and then when they lose they do nothing.
Also I think you should research the word bigot because I'm not sure you really know what it means.
Oh sweet summer child. If you think you can do better you're more than able to run for office then maybe you'll pull your head out your ass and realize it's not as simple as you think it all is.
Whatever excuses you have to tell yourself in order to keep voting for democrats go for it because no matter what I say here you will pull out some canned democrat response that they programmed you into believing as to why real change can't happen.
Republicans are carrying out the will of their voters and making it look extremely easy meanwhile while Hakeem Jeffries is going around saying "There's nothing we can do, it's their government."
Hugely inspiring.
Most voters are single issue voters. If you understood politics you would know this.
You already out of the game before you entered the arena.
