I was gonna title this "And here I sit so patiently waiting to find out what price you have to pay to get out of going through all these things twice" and then write "Stuck inside of America with the fascism blues again" here, but I'm not sure if that comes off like gloating and that's honestly the last thing I want to do this morning.
So we’re not downvoting anything even slightly critical of the democrats anymore?
Good. Because they fucked this one up.
There is a tiger on the lose. Let's blame the people who are against caging the tiger in the first place.
Where is this "muscular border policy"? I'm not seeing it anywhere! 😂
I can't believe the bullshit with the Cheneys. When a war criminal like Dick Cheney endorses you, you disavow them.
Harris even got endorsed by Richard Spencer, who's a white nationalist, and she didn't say shit! What was she thinking? "I've got the neocon vote, now maybe I'll get the Nazi vote"?
"Stein got a Nazi to endorse her even though she disowned it, she's horrid."
"Harris openly loved Cheney and didn't say anything Spencer, she's the the most progressive person to ever run!"
I switched my registration party from Democrat to Independent today. Tired of this shit. Enough is enough I'm voting my values from now on.
The fact that you're registered is wild to me. One of the few things my state has right is having open primaries imo
Speaking as a hungarian having lived under Orbán's rule for 16 years and counting, don't worry; after this point you will have either no elections or they will be a pointless mockery only.
Til a few hundred words by rando dude I've never heard of is an "autopsy".
...Is this somehow a big block of incomprehensible text to you, or are you somehow looking at a different image? It's a tweet.
Less than 50 words!
But it felt like a Harry Potter book to him 😮💨
Isn't it amazing that both the female democratic candidates for president in our history have campaigned with war criminals and then lost. I wonder if there's a lesson there?
Famed pacifist Hillary Clinton
Poor thing was under sniper fire one time.
Democrats were too busy making sure progressive candidates were banned from participating in democracy.
The Democratic Convention had room on the stage for anti-choice Republicans, but none for Palestinian-Americans. I heard the speech that representative was going to give. There was nothing controversial in there. It didn't mention an arms embargo. Having them present was too much for the DNC.
It's a big tent party for "former" Republicans, oligarchs, corporations, but not anyone the Republicans are making hit lists of right now.
Palestinians can't even attend, "she's talking right now." Meanwhile she just has lunch with the people who made the War ~~for Oil~~ on Terror, and acts like this is true progress and you're the bad guy for not warming up to Dick Chaney.
🇺🇸 MISSION ACCOMPLISHED 🇺🇸
The reality is that neoliberals in power, and even many poor deluded neoliberal voters, would rather have Republicans in charge than people interested in addressing the intentional and by design inequity of our economy, despite all the social issues that very inequity causes and exacerbates they then falsely claim to care about, including abortion, which is often correctly an economic decision.
I voted blue out of harm reduction as I always have, without hope, just to minimize what little cruelty I have the power to potentially minimize, but they did this to themselves, as we never get a vote on our economic system or the cruelty it propagates, because (D) and (R) are on the take, and I've yet to meet an affluent person of either party take issue with the economic system they benefit from despite our legions of homeless and barely subsisting people without the means to bribe officials on their behalf, and their very existence is proof of this economy's failure as a lowly tool to better equitibly distribute goods and services in service to a society that an economy is meant to be.
Our economy, and by that I mean our oligarch class that sits above the society they have no stake in, instead orders our society around through the legislators they own solely to maximize their private profit against all other concerns, and it's beyond perverse. We've just been propagandized our entire lives to consider it to be the natural state of things by self-serving for profit media and captured state government's capitalist indoctrinating curriculum.
"The son of the worker, on entering life, finds no field which he may till, no machine which he may tend, no mine in which he may dig, without accepting to leave a great part of what he will produce to a master. He must sell his labour for a scant and uncertain wage. His father and his grandfather have toiled to drain this field, to build this mill, to perfect this machine. They gave to the work the full measure of their strength, and what more could they give? But their heir comes into the world poorer than the lowest savage. If he obtains leave to till the fields, it is on condition of surrendering a quarter of the produce to his master, and another quarter to the government and the middlemen. And this tax, levied upon him by the State, the capitalist, the lord of the manor, and the middleman, is always increasing; it rarely leaves him the power to improve his system of culture. If he turns to industry, he is allowed to work--though not always even that --only on condition that he yield a half or two-thirds of the product to him whom the land recognizes as the owner of the machine.
We cry shame on the feudal baron who forbade the peasant to turn a clod of earth unless he surrendered to his lord a fourth of his crop. We call those the barbarous times. But if the forms have changed, the relations have remained the same, and the worker is forced, under the name of free contract, to accept feudal obligations. For, turn where he will, he can find no better conditions. Everything has become private property, and he must accept, or die of hunger."
Democrats are completely out of touch. them expecting voters putting other issues on top of them making ends meets and food on the table (like mocking Vance's egg prices ), all the while most polls showing the economy is the biggest concern with 38 % of all voters, is just simply delusional
And they have lost both the popular and electoral college vote. meaning the real problem here is them.
And don't get me started on the propaganda of Iowa's early voters polls showing a Kamala landslide just 2 days before election day. If you live in a left wing bubble and believe this shit, than this should be a hard smack back into reality.

the economy is literally the strongest it's been in a while, inflation rates are down, sure prices are still high but we're literally at the tail end of the fucking tunnel here.
God i wish people would stop voting on schizoprehnia economics, it's so stupid.
