As I recently said to a friend: “I fucking hate being right.”

And he said “I fucking hate you being right.”

(he was never in disagreement, he just still had a sliver of hope)

    Bad campaign or not, everyone is in the same shit boat because some people chose this election to refuse to pinch their nose and vote for the Democrats.

      In many ways Dems were as bad as Trump this election. If they weren’t so greedy in their push rightward, they could’ve kept up the lesser evil schtick for at least a couple more elections.

      Unfortunately they decided to run a campaign further to the right than bush jr, exposing their whole ass in the process.

        Dems are more of the same, maybe a little better depending. Republicans are downright evil. Not sure how you can justify saying “Dems were as bad as Trump”

          You must not be black, or Latine, or native, or really any minority except white upper class lgbtq.

        And people still decided that Nazis were better than a pretty average option so they would rather not vote at all so they could convince themselves it wasn’t their fault if the Gestapo comes knocking at their door in a few months.

          “Um, actually, sweatie, things CAN’T get any worse than they are now” was my ‘favorite’ line from those folk.

          Congrats, you’re feeling what others have felt for the past 50 years. Hopefully this means you’ll finally fucking abandon the status quo that has kept you incredibly privileged and safe compared to your fellow Americans.

          I’m sorry you’re mad you can’t profit off the oppression of others and you might have to do work for the first time in your life.

            And you felt that of all elections it was when Trump 2.0 was the alternative that it was the time to make a stand?

            You realize those who already felt oppressed and decided not to vote might not even be able to vote in 4 years to continue making a difference, right?

            You realize that things are getting worse for everyone all over the fucking world and the Democrats actually made things better compared to the situation in other countries, right?

            The brainwashing machine worked hard on both sides to get Trump in power and it accomplished its objective! Got job, you got Punk’d!

              You people have been dangling the same carrot for longer than the average American has been alive. It’s like you people forget Bill Clinton was the lesser evil compromise. So was Obama, so was hrc, so was Biden.

              If the US falls to fascism good, maybe you people will wake up. If not, and it’s absolutely not anymore fascist now than it was 5 or a hundred years ago, then in 2026 and 2028 Dems will still lose if they keep trying to blame everyone but their own shitty policies for their losses.

              To your propaganda about being better off than other countries, that has never been true, it’s still not now.

                Sorry buddy but there’s never been a Republican party as dangerous as the current one. Ne-fucking-ver.

                You clearly have no idea what shit is like outside the US.

                Hope for you that you make it to the next election, the way you’re talking you’re probably part of the people the Republicans want to eliminate, try not to make too much of a Pikachu face when that happens!
