Aside from this being a little fucking melodramatic and defeatist, the thing that really bothers me is the implicit assumption that if only we’d all just vote blue no matter who we wouldn’t have this problem, like the Democratic Party hasn’t been kowtowing to and enabling those same oligarchs to undermine our democracy. It’s like they’re standing in the rubble of a bombing and saying, ‘This is happening because you chose the short fuse on the bomb, if only you had chosen the long fuse we wouldn’t have noticed this happening quite so quickly wouldn’t be having this problem!’

Don’t get me wrong, boom tomorrow is definitely better than boom today, but it’s important to not forget that there was never not going to be a boom.

What I don’t get from the American people, who have always portrait themselves as champions of everything with this attitude now of “there was no way to avoid it because we are legless turtles and all we can do is vote blue or red and hope our daddies do right by us”

True, the last election would not had saved you but anyone with a firing neuron saw this coming 40 years ago and you all did fuck all to avoid it while still making ignorant jokes about the French being cowards

I’m so sick of these high tower pseudo-big brain “told ya so” comments. “I saw the end of the US before it’s inception. I saw the end of the US when humans migrated from Siberia 16,000 years ago!” Well, you are so smart and I’m so proud of you, but you aren’t adding a damn thing to the conversation.
