    Since that’s all it has ever been. Biden’s terrible, Harris is terrible, Schumer and Jeffries are beyond terrible - yeah, great, got it. What’s the plan then?

    Wild how often it’s the case of dems in power being terrible.

    Also so does that mean we can’t say trump/putin/bibi is terrible without specifying an alternative?

      I see some love for AOC (but also insta-damnation if dog forbid she hews incorrectly), Mamdani got a lot of love (for a city mayor) at least until he made the fatal error of crossing a SocDem, and Bernie gets love. But that’s it. 99.8% of Democrats are the worst, most evil fascists under the sun according to their support base. If you believe that.

      Is it any wonder they look to the center for support when it gets close to election time?

      For the first 100 slams, no those are free. After that you have to have something else besides a big bag of bitching. But only for trump, unless you’re voting in the israeli or russian election.

      Which, sometimes I wonder if some of the commenters are.

        Yeah cause they don’t want to actually provide anything the people want.

        And unsurprisingly again avoiding the point to continue to just punch left

          What like national healthcare? A Green New Deal? Yeah The People din’t want that shit they want to murder children, right?

          And unsurprisingly again avoiding the point to continue to just punch left

          What point? Democratic candidates are depraved existential horrors roaming the land devouring women and children alive for sport? Sure lemme google some things i’ll get back to you.

          The so-called left can’t even be relied upon to vote against literal paramilitary gangs roaming the streets murdering mothers and nurses. That’s who you want them to spend all their political capital chasing? Well, good luck. But just so you know they’re not going to vote anyway. Purity tests are real and they are unwinnable.

            Weird how neither parties run on that

            Wow, amazing how you’re only point is blaming the voters.

            left can’t even be relied upon to vote against literal paramilitary gangs roaming the streets murdering mothers and nurses

            Again, both parties were okay with that. There wasn’t one who would stop it

              Well, one party ran on the first part multiple times making a big push for it that took up a full year in two administrations, and actually made the second one law, so. Get a clue?

              Wow, amazing how you’re only point is blaming the voters.

              I’m blaming the non-voters. Keep up.

              Again, both parties were okay with that. There wasn’t one who would stop it

              The DHS is still shut down. Do you actually know how anything works? Because it’d be great if you could do that.

                Is that supposed to show one side is fighting against it? Dems doing nothing to plan or prevent gop from implementing their will on the country, just like failure to codify roe v wade into law.

                I’m blaming the non-voters. Keep up

                You’re blaming everyone that isn’t worshipping the dnc, including voters.

                The DHS is still shut down. Do you actually know how anything works? Because it’d be great if you could do that

                Which has stopped what? Even now the dems aren’t fighting to remove or stop ice just increase training and more cameras.

                Do you actually know how anything works

                Wow more insults

                  ?? What?

                  You’re blaming everyone that isn’t worshipping the dnc, including voters.

                  Wrong again, but it was a bonus question so you won’t lose any points.

                  Which has stopped what? Even now the dems aren’t fighting to remove or stop ice just increase training and more cameras.

                  Has stopped everything that isn’t specifically declared critical to national security or budgeted separately in the Big Ugly Boondoggle bill.

                  Yeah it’d be great if they could just blink and nod and poof ICE is gone, trillions go to healthcare, education, and the environment, but I guess they must not want to blink and nod. That’s most likely it and no other reasons.

                    ?? What?

                    Dems continue to drop the ball in all aspects of governing again and again. Gop spent what 40-50 years to get roe v wade over-tuned. Dems just let gop break norms and laws to pack the courts.

                    They do not future plan for anyone but their donors.

                    And again you’re ignoring the part they don’t even want to do anything about ice except training and body cameras, as the ones doing the most damage to citizens and civilians are the veterans of the force and already being filmed.

                    It’s the perfect encapsulation of how little this democrat party and leadership will do for the people AND how they just work on optics rather than you know actually doing anything.

                    Then again nothing will change your perception of the party so you’re response will still ignore everything and simply focus on how this all means we need to get behind candidates now
