    No, they weren’t, but the average banjo doesn’t know this.

    And to be clear, were talking about the manner in which a candidate campaigns.

      Her unrealized gains tax on over a million alone had the potential to save this country, since billionaires and multimillionaires generally gain untaxed income by leveraging their stocks with longterm collateral loans.

        The copium is real. I suppose some banjos are more average than others.

        You can live in a delusional reality of your own creation, but you lost this one in October of 24. Harris was shit, she ran to the right, it cost us the election and and handed the country to fascism.

        It’s what we said would happen before it happened. Its what we said was happening while it was happening. And, begrudgingly, we’ve been able to drag the majority perspective to understand the consequences of not pressuring Harris to shift left, of not shamelessly putting yourself behind candidates before they come to get your vote

        The arguments I’ve been making have won. The Karen’s of the world get it now. The CNN voters get it now. They under stand how they were wrong for how they approached this in 24.

        And I’ll drag you too, just like I have all the others. It’s been quite the journey, and I don’t mind you as comrade.

          “Us”? I’ve never seen you on the side that opposes the GOP. You do nothing but shit on Democrats full time. I wouldn’t be surprised if you kept an AI poster of Trump up on your wall.

            Bro, you’ve literally lost it you’ve really broken yourself completely you think I support Trump or the Republicans. You getting bans and blocks everywhere I look. Your projections are litterally delusional. You’ve broken down in the past year.

            And I understand it. It sucks the Democrats have thrown us to the wolves over and over again. It was important to make note of it while it was happening. It’s all there now, in the record. But your petty misgivings don’t a coherent politics make.

            You can try and find something to object to I my comment history. It’s all there. I’ll even give you code to pull it all and parse it. I review it regularly, especially the stuff from times where things really matter.

            It’s shocking how right we were, whatever the cohort is that I’m a part of. We basically nailed it, square and solidly on the head.

            You should take a break and get some perspective. It’s clear that this year something is breaking for many of us. But you projecting villains onto the wall isn’t helping anyone.

                Yeah but they are not a bad person; they’re a person obviously in crisis or very close to it. It’s been a terrible year. It’s not their fault for being wrong about what it was going to take to stop fascism.

                They’re desperate, and flailing for a villain, for someone outside themselves to blame. And I consider them to still be a friend, just like I do almost every one here (except that JimSantanko). And they have clearly been losing their grasp on things. And if they need me to be a villain for them, sure. I can be that for them if that’s what they need. But they are clearly in pain and desperate and the mental structure they were using to explain the world are falling apart.

                Liberals and Democrats are having a hard time right now because they’re becoming aware that the current state of the world is a crisis of their own making. It’s obvious through the thread of failure with has been Democratic leadership, how the authoritarian Blue MAGA/ bnmw brainrot sabotaged our ability to stop Trump.

                The world is changing beneath their feat and what was obvious to many of us is becoming obvious to everyone, even if it’s too late for it to matter. And for those who dug their feet into wrong approaches, insisting it was the people to the lefts fault; as the world moves on from them their grip on the narrative slips.

                Mostly I just care that finite is safe, isn’t going to self harm, and if they need to project some villainy into me that somehow I stopped Harris from winning by begging her to put a Palestinian on stage, so be it.

                  They have no interest whatsoever in stopping fascism, or they would be honest about its enablers.

                    When someone is in a mental health situation, you can’t expect them to “step up and start acting rational”. If you want to help someone in crisis, you need to be willing to go meet them where they are at if you want to help them.

                    The world is moving on and it’s finally clicking for the shitlibs who were certain they could just shame voters into believing that Biden had been a good president. Some of them at least. I have a whole thing I’ve got on another tab about this.

                    Just… go to c/politics and sort by controversial, all time, And reread those threads. It’s like actually shocking.

                Why you squeaking?

                My whole history is right there. Go find something to be pissed about stead of flapping ya gums. I’ll give you tools to do so, so that you have no excuses any more.
