jonathankoren™@Smart_e_Disharmony I look in the mirror and say, “I tried to mitigate the damage”, which is more than your juvenile ass can say.
Lucas@jonathankoren @Smart_e_Disharmony If the other viable option, in an attempt to thwart tyranny, decides to adopt policies that are very similar to the party that they are trying to stop is it really a surprise that limiting the available choices is going to lose votes?
Jhooper@nastylucas @jonathankoren @Smart_e_Disharmony If you can't tell the difference between the Democrats and the Republicans right now, then you are a fucking idiot.
Democrats having major problems is a pretty massive leap compared to what the Republicans are doing right now.
@nastylucas @jonathankoren @Smart_e_Disharmony and I don't engage with sanctimonious assholes that refuse to make a difficult decision to protect their own piety while they expect everyone else around then to make the sacrifices that they won't.
Your hands are fucking dirty, because thanks to the inaction of you and many others, even more of those Gazans will die. You know, the group that's been under assault from Israel for decades, and you didn't seem to notice until a year ago?
NKT@nastylucas @jonathankoren @Smart_e_Disharmony Yeah. From the outside? Harris literally just had to say "We are against genocide". It was a very, very low bar. And they failed at even that.
But, trunp & the gop cheated massively, so it made no actual difference either way. You literally couldn't have changed the result in any of the 7 targeted states.

@Dss @jonathankoren @Smart_e_Disharmony Specifics aside, when there are only 2 parties and one starts copying the others policies you're inevitably going to lose votes from your base.
Of those from the other side you are trying to attract, who are they really going to pick at the ballot? A black woman or a white man? It never had legs from the start.

@nastylucas @jonathankoren @Smart_e_Disharmony Yeah, when they did it, I said as much. I knew it was lost. Sadly though, as trunp fumbled and fell, and Harris uplifted people at her events, I dared to hope... But without Biden doing basic things like protecting the postal vote from DeJoy, bringing in rules about acceptable ID for federal voting, and limits to voter disenfranchisment on an industrial scale, it just wasn't possible for the side not openly cheating to win, even if they'd been bothered to try harder.
