        The other side just pushed the rope, it doesn’t necessarily put the other side at any more of an advantage than just letting go, but it absolutely puts you at a disadvantage because well, you just can’t be bothered to pull that rope as well as signalling you’re not willing to play the game. Rejecting progressives was pushing the rope, Liz fucking Cheney and all the Republican pandering was pushing the rope. The last minute drop out was pushing the rope.

        I’m not giving these shitters another vote until they run serious progressive politicians and policies. We are at rock bottom, and I’ll be damned if I enable this shit again.

    Just a reminder, since these people view everything through the lens of power they view the peaceful transfer of power as us being weak and them being strong and that we’re giving in because “we know they can kick our ass” or some dumb shit. Basically, they view things like this as though we’re cowering in the corner begging them to stop when it’s really the basics of a functioning society.

    America has decided to roll over and let fascism take root.

    Our ancestors would be utterly ashamed.

    The cohort that controls the Democratic Party are perfectly content to pantomime gentlemanly decorum while being led into the ovens of a fascist authoritarian oligarchy. I’m just completely done with their bullshit.

      Trump’s gonna literally try to kill them all. They made their own graves with this milquetoast bullshit.

    Look how impotent the DNC is. It’s like some guy said, “I’m going to do everything in my power to take your car away and drive it off a cliff.” And after saying, “noo stop, you cant” they hand over the keys.
