Question for the libs who are flailing, trying and failing to understand how their country is backsliding into genocidal fascism (and taking shots to the left):

The deluge of Biden admins who have resigned because of the war - are they now supporting Trump since they are withholding their support for the Biden campaign?

Here's the deal. If you're living in California - a state that will overwhelmingly go for Biden - and you don't vote for Biden, then you are directly responsible for all the sins committed by the subsequent President Trump.

However, you are in no way responsible for the sins committed by Kamala Harris or Dianne Feinstein or Gruesome Gavin Newsome, when they send in a SWAT team against another Black Lives Matter protest breaks out in the face of a sheriff's deputy shooting a pregnant woman to death because he was unloading 20 rounds at a stray dog.

Democrats are only responsible for what Republicans do after a failed election bid. They're never responsible for what an uncontested string of Democrats in office do in New York or Washington State or Delaware or Minnesota. One blow I see Republicans land on Dems all the time is the "They keep promising you X and they never deliver in their own states", and - practically since Clinton - they've had Dems dead to rights.

Vermont couldn't even do comprehensive health care reform. They chickened out because it would mean dedicating too much of the budget to a public service people in the state need. Dems are running away from public education and social security for the same reasons.

The only thing we ever have unlimited deficit spending cash for is War, War, War. And then Dems panic at the prospect of Republicans taking the reins.

By all means, infantilize your allies. That should work out well.
