Sure. They decided that after and not before.

Wait… there’s a candidate named Fred Merz?

Like William Frawley’s character from I Love Lucy?

Pretty much, yeah. Not only that, you can cross-reference it with other fascists if they ever deny knowing each other. Or cross-reference it with police, but I repeat myself.

Well, if this is going to be used by shitty people, we should use and abuse it to the absolute hilt.

If privacy is dead, it’s dead for everyone. Not just good people living their lives.

Any phone that spends Sunday morning at a megachurch? Let’s see what massage parlors or whose houses they spend time at. Let’s see where they are during that “business trip”.

We told you it was a losing issue. You called us Russian bots and tankies and trumpists because that was easier than listening to something you didn’t want to hear.

I voted for Harris. But that doesn’t mean I’m blind to the suicidal boneheadedness of the pro-genocide centrist wing of the Democratic Party. We tried to warn you. You thought you knew better. In your overwhelming and unearned arrogance, you concluded that anyone that was willing to read the writing on the wall couldn’t possibly be an actual person with agency.

Now go hug Dick Cheney. He’s the only vote any of you cared about.

If the anti-genocide left were too insignificant to treat like humans, they’re too insignificant to blame. Centrists ran the campaign they wanted. Their instincts were and remain shit.

The left has been warning you nonstop for the past year that this would happen. Democrats didn’t listen and instead decided that genocide and Cheneys would get Republicans to vote for them. That was stupid as fuck. It didn’t work.

I voted for Harris.

This was not the election for a protest.

It never is. Democrats keep taking advantage of that. It finally failed.

I voted for Harris.

Quit bitching and start working towards something better, or you’re as useless as the Democratic establishment.

That’s the thing. Centrists believe that there is nothing wrong with Democratic establishment, and that they were failed by the stupid voters they hate.

Thank your god Netanyahu that she played into his hands.

A timid baby step far too late.

I held my nose, but the numbers clearly show it was a Democrat failure to communicate, empathize, and/or initiate with voters.

But they got Dick Cheney on board!

Running to the mythical center-right just failed spectacularly.

Democrats’ only tactic failed.

There should be no statute of limitations.

I can’t believe the bullshit with the Cheneys. When a war criminal like Dick Cheney endorses you, you disavow them.

And lemmy’s centrists were so goddamned happy that Cheney endorsed. They finally got the party to move so far to the right that they got Dick Cheney’s endorsement. That was when they considered it a win and they didn’t care about what happened after.

Centrism is saying it’s too early for dialog until it’s too late.

Democrats have the energy of that kid in high school who wanted to sit at the popular kids table and were willing to lose the friends they had in order to get there.

But all they did was look like fools and jettison allies.

The Democratic party is stuck on this idealistic platform of unity and appealing broadly to the American people.

That’s the marketing for “moving right every chance they get.”

How did you feel when he finally beat Medicare?

It’s a distinction without much of a practical difference, yes, but I still think that not considering atrocities a deal breaker and being in favor of the atrocities should be distinguished between.

Agreed until they start being hostile to all criticism of the party, even when the criticism is about genocide support.

In the next few weeks, we’ll see if centrists start abandoning their hostility toward the anti-genocide wing of the party. I don’t think they will. I think you’ve drawn a distinction without a difference.
