      And yet despite all the warning signs his hubris disrupted the democratic process and progressives were once again told to fall in line and back a candidate who campaigned on appealing to the center-right.

      The Dems have let down the American people, again.

        I’m not really interested in making excuses for the 70+ million Americans that voted for a racist, sexist, felon fraud and rapist.

          You can certainly harbor contempt for the American people who choose such a morally bankrupt coalition while also recognizing that the oppositional movement has repetitively failed to inspire its own voter base to turn out.

          The fact remains that the Dems have thrice now run on a platform of unity and forsaken the will of the Left in an attempt to appeal to those who would happily annihilate the Left in pursuit of its own goals.

            If youre so fucking stupid as to not vote while a fascist is running then you deserve everything and more.

            People need to realize this isn’t fucking Christmas and you simply pick the least bad option or you end up here. At least those lazy fucks can feel smug while we’re all in the shit.

            Dumb fucks.

              If you can’t come up with a single sound bite if what makes you better than a fascist, that’s on you.
