    I will not give a fuck about these stories until I can reliably feel like they a) didn’t vote for this and b) wouldn’t vote for this yet again.

      The consequences of my actions are suddenly facing me, and now I don’t wish for it to happen to me or my family anymore. But I still wish for it to happen to everybody else, so I’m still gonna vote for it. GoFundMe when?

      Right? Yeah … 51%ish people voted for him, and if you didn’t vote at all, then you helped cause it. Not that I think Kamala wasn’t a lying piece of shit, but I’d rather have 4 years of stagnation than 4 years of what we’re getting.

      TBH I think the Democrats have it in the bag next election if they provide someone remotely competent. The die hard Trumpies will always vote right, but I think a lot of people were on the fence will go left as a knee jerk reaction.

        He did not get the majority of votes. He got the most votes. There is a difference and the former highlights one of the flaws in our electoral system.

        I don’t. Because they have. Oh, not progressives that I want, but remotely competent? Yes.

        Who owns the media? Why do republicans get passes and democrats don’t? It’s pretty damned pervasive propaganda on nearly every front.

        Sure, dems could do better, but anyone they run gets relentless attacks at every level.

        So that’s why I disagree with your statement. heh
