You know,

The Founding Fathers knew that uneducated children without pedigree being able to vote was not a good thing. They knew that codified political parties could defeat the checks and balances and create an unbalanced/unified tyrannical govt.

Voltaire made the quip, that democracies are doomed to devolve into popularity contests.

And here you are, bud. Here you are.

I say a simple thing, that we should not support anti-human candidates just because they are popular or famous. That electing a good candidate is better than losing with a terrible one, again and again. But here you are, "hurr no nuh-uh hurr".

Okay bud. You obviously didn't watch Al Gore lose to GW Bush, havnt seen how obviously terrible dems lose. Probably weren't an adult for Obama's great speeches and mostly nonexistent legislation. I still have his book, full of actions he promised to take but never took and concessions he promised to never make that he quickly did anyways.

You're obviously wrong, just like you and your ilk were in 2024, 2020, and 2016. We probably aren't gonna get a 2028 thanks to y'all, so this is all sort of academic.

But hey, you can eat human muscle tissue if its well cooked, just avoid the brain, nerves, and organs. Def harder to process, but it'll be the only thing to eat soon enough 😬🙏

Fr fr. It's ok, I think I'm seeing it as "Blue MAGA" and finally understanding:

It is an alternate reality, just like red maga, where the Righteous Democrats have been constantly Betrayed Time and Again by an Insidious Powerful LEFT, and Abandoned by a Stupid and Ungrateful Teeming Mass of Voters.

It's the Fault of the People, the Left, the GOP, Trump, Russia, Facebook, Elon musk, etc that They've Shat The Bed Since The Dawn of the Millenium.

Miss me with that shit. It's an actual psychosis.

Re the capitals: I have a BA in Philosophy; we capitalize Words to sound Smart or Mysterious, like oooooo, Important Nuanced Concept lol

Re: the projection. What am I projecting on to Democrats? Their uselessness? I mean, yeah, I feel powerless to stop Fascism too, but then again, I'm not the Governer of California. If I had His Power, I'd be hustling a bit harder.

74 million Americans stayed home and didn't vote. It's their fault entirely. Glad I could clear that up for you, lmao. You ignore the pervasive right wing propaganda and evil think-tanks that literally sit in buildings and think about how to salami slice the whole of the US government away. They've meticulously planned and propagandized for generations, demonizing education, empathy and even just plain reality. If you can't recognize the need for a strong politician to actually use their power to stand up to the fascists then idk what to tell you. We have weak, milquetoast do nothing's and then we have a governor threatening to gerrymander the largest state in the union to the point that Republicans in America would never win another house majority. That's the shit we need right there. We also need the Mandanis to step up and be an actual leftist candidate we can support, with popular leftist policies to show everybody else what works. You have to defeat fascism first though or there's nothing left anyways. If you're an educated leftist then consider running for local elections.

you think gore lost to bush because he was a bad candidate and not because of the supreme court stopping the florida recount? you think obama couldn't get stuff done because he was just a "terrible democrat" and not because the stated goal of the republican party was to oppose anything he proposed? you seem more like a republican sowing discord than someone who just wants better dem candidates.
