  • Every time the Dems go left they lose

    I’m sure it has nothing to do with immediately abandoning those talking points once they’re elected. A single Republican gripes and “well there’s nothing we can do we’re just doing their thing now. Sucks to suck 🤷‍♂️”

    Of course, as illustrated here they’re happy to blame the left though even though their entire thing is “fuck the left.” whether its outright like it is right now, or the passive “WE’LL TOTALLY DO LEFT STUFF GUYS JUST VOTE FOR US…whoops sorry someone said no so we’re conservatives now”

    Rewarding them for moving further right hasn’t worked for decades, but surely it will this time!

    There’s a reason they cant pull the votes to get all 3, turns out the people voting for Republicans aren’t going to switch parties cause dems chase after them year after year abandoning anyone left of mid right establishment dems.




  • Thats our national issue, democrats care far less about the fascist vomit of the right than they do being polite, “understanding,” and “reaching across the aisle.”

    J6ers tried to overtake the govt, hang em for treason. If their backers violently rise up, take em out too. Problem solved. Instead, dems make excuses for Republicans every day, say they can’t do anything about anything, then push a bunch of policies to further snuff out the left instead.








  • My best friends (a couple) are more progressive than the average liberal but they VERY much fall into this pattern SO quickly if I cross the wrong line, especially with cars/infrastructure. They turn conservative real quick. Lad was running me home recently after helping him work on their new shed at the house she just bought, and got kinda crappy at me for not taking on a car loan.

    They know my whole deal, I’m on a fixed income with the VA with a (thankfully) cheap mortgage but I’m not rolling in it.I get a bus discount, I travel alot on Amtrak to places like DC, NYC, etc and tend to do things on a whim around town BECAUSE I keep my margin free. But still, because HE got into an auto loan (he’s still not paid off because he refinanced once or twice) before both prices and borrowing rates skyrocketed, there’s no reason I couldn’t get a brand new car AND pay the premium insurance, AND pay for maintenance and gas.

    He got outright snippy about it. Like bro sorry it’s just not high on my priority list. One day, but I get to the doctor and the grocery store fine and y’all help me the once every month or two I need new water dispenser bottles (which I occassionally pitch in on gas for and work around whatever we’re doing anyway together.) So I just don’t care.



  • Thats the catch 22 of America, its “good” except when its not, and like 60% of Americans are one missed paycheck away from it being “not” - And once you’re there this country hates you and does everything it can to make sure you stay fucked.

    See: SCOTUS ruling the other day that you can’t illegalize homelessness but you CAN illegalize homeless behaviors like sleeping outside or in a tent.

    (Because since pot is increasingly legal we have to bolster those legal slavery numbers somehow!)

    Voting Biden means working tirelessly to spread disinformation about third party voters being non voters who advocate for not voting, like a good little faschie.

    Thank you so much for this perfect example where instead of recognizing somebody’s grievances you call them a Trump supporting non voter and preemptively blame your loss on them (but not enough to actually adjust policy to win those votes of course, thats not the fascist way!)

    Onward Blue MAGA, you have more misinformation to spread!
