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?

The last time they didn’t get 100% of everything they wanted, they formed a PAC to get McCain elected.

I voted for Harris. But I could read the writing on the wall. Every time I tried to warn one of you, you did what you did here. Just assumed that I voted contrary to your sense of entitlement and was trying to justify it.

And none of you have learned a fucking thing. If there’s ever going to be a next election, y’all are gonna move right and shriek condemnation at anyone who has a problem with it, since the alternative involves treating your base like humans with agency instead of automatons that you can abuse until votes fall out.

why are dems trying to appeal to trump supporters??

Love.

they will never ever vote for you! that’s the entire point!

Unrequited love.

Democrats would rather lose than move one Planck length to the left.

Except Harris was going to drag us back towards the left.

With the power of genocide and Dick Cheney.

Democrats certainly like the “America is racist” narrative because it gives them justification for chasing the racist vote next time.

A timid baby step far too late.

Whatever you think the magic bullet was, undermining her support did not help keep Trump out of office.

Maybe she shouldn’t have done things that undermined her support, then.

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.

Because the alternative involves accepting that moving to the right has failed as a strategy, and they don’t want to do anything else.

Then the rabble wont show up for elections. No better way to drain the energy out of a voter base then to make their voices feel unheard.

Democrats will never understand this.

You mean “fuck you, you’re voting for us, here’s Dick Cheney!” wasn’t the winning message for everyone that it was for centrists?

They did NOT do everything.

God damn, you’re bad at reading. First you act like Manchin and Sinema were independents when they were blocking shit for you, and now you’re ignoring parts of my sentence to make it contrary to what I said.

Manchin and Sinema did everything that YOU WANTED THEM TO DO. They blocked legislation. That’s all you wanted.

There is no point in arguing with you since you selectively pretend to be unable to read.

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.

She could have denied it.

I have never attempted to get anyone to vote third party. Not once.

No, I mean every centrist’s Senpai, DICK Cheney. They were so fucking happy when they got the endorsement of their favorite living war criminal not named Netanyahu.
