We?

Just like our elections!

The same evidence that shows Democrats went too far left also shows the Democrats went too far right. Curious.

They could have won this by… doing exactly what they did? Brilliant! Like, where/when did you see the campaign focus on trans rights rather than the economy? I mean, I didn’t think her economic plan was all that, but at least I heard about it… I only heard about trans anything from the right, and it certainly wasn’t them campaigning on trans rights! Do you really think the Democratic presidential campaign was just Democrats talking to themselves about trans rights? I’m dying to know what media you consume!

You know what? I don’t think you have any idea about what Harris ran on, though it sounds like you’re aware of the FOX news caricature of her campaign. Which, honestly, puts you in probably about the same place as the average American voter.

You are right about the need to reach non-voters, but I’d include never-voters. Personally, I think the addiction to fat-cat money is the biggest obstacle to attracting old and new voters. I reckon it’s not easy to want to fix problems that major donors don’t want fixed.

They are just buying a book. Buying a book, most likely online, is the least dramatic thing ever. Your comment was so much more dramatic! I don’t think I trust your ability to judge reality objectively.

Way to solve one of the most pressing issues of our day. Just great work, man. The planet really isn’t that important when compared to some 17th century art. That’s where we really need to focus our preservation and conservation efforts!

If the left not voting leads to Democrats losing, you’d think the party would try to win those votes. Instead they campaign like they don’t need them. And well, I guess… the campaign advisors actually don’t need them, they’re gonna get hired to run the next campaign regardless. And the fat-cat donors are gonna stay rich regardless. Both ready to steer the next election!

It’s always “the left” that’s causing candidates to win by not voting, it’s never candidates failing to give them something to vote for. Or advisors and donors pushing the candidates towards positions that will cost them the election. It’s always “the left”.

But hey, she got the Cheney’s vote! And look, my swing state family’s as well. But Democratic candidates and policies need to go big, or they’re gonna keep being sent home. People voted for Trump for the same reason they voted for Obama - they absolutely want change, and 25K for a mortgage down payment ain’t it.

I wouldn’t bet that he ain’t cheated on all his wives.

I hope you have the most boring elderly years - filled with procedural crime dramas and dry toast with cottage cheese. And absolutely no thinking about anything remotely fun!

Could you go into how these Nazi dynamics led to the election of a Jewish president?

To the extent that it’s accurate, it shows Israel attacking first. It looks more like Israel is provoking Hezbollah. Of course, this didn’t start last October.

I’m not sure you and Netanyahu agree on what Israeli victory would mean.

Right-wingers only actually being right about anything when they “think” they’re grossly distorting the truth for a “joke” that ain’t ever funny… where have I seen that before? Oh yeah, everywhere. Like, it must be day that ends with a Y or something.

Men on the internet have tried to argue me into accepting that I am threatened by trans women. I still don’t get it.

Maybe a better runner uses calories more efficiently.

Well, Netanyahu has surely found out something about all that fucking around and propping up of Hamas he was doing.

But Palestine, even Gaza, ain’t the same as Hamas, you do know that… right? Or are you suggesting tens of thousands of people including babies and children are all Hamas?

Because from where I’m sitting, Israel is fucking around and just murdering people and they and their supporters should definitely not be surprised when they find out people are calling them the murderers they are being.

But also, what happened before Oct. 7? Sometimes out of the blue I remember that man and his son from like 20 years ago, hiding from the bullets that found them anyway, killing the son… shit’s been fucked there for a long time. You can’t live in a paradise keeping an underclass around to abuse, persecute, murder… that shit always comes back. Speaking from somewhere along Sherman’s March to the Sea, just saying… FAFO is right, but make sure you’re taking in the whole picture.

You’ll be cut loose before too long.

That headline is a race track that leads to a brick wall.

I’m all for stomping out fascism, but I gotta say… saving people who want others fed to the leopards isn’t even on my list of reasons why.

This didn’t start last year. Are you justifying what Hamas did on October 7, too? Or at least categorizing it as “fair play” as well?

Surely you meant sweet potato pie! Apples don’t really grow down here.

But yeah, the southern heritage one should want to claim ought to be more about shrimp and grits and less about confederates and slavers. Those traitors are history, but no decent person would claim that hateful shit as their damn heritage. Unfortunately, we ain’t about to run outta folks lacking decency anytime soon.
