Ideally, I’d love for Dems to just start taking credit for everything MAGA brags about. Since apparently the Republicans aren’t in charge.

    The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter. - Winston Churchill

    I commend you for using yourself as an example. You’re right. The bar to participate in politics should be raised above you. Unfortunately… that’s not really democracy, anymore. But good argument. I still stand by your right to vote. Even if it hurts a bit inside.

      No it shouldn’t be raised up. The left need to wake the fuck up and start playing the game. You all are outclassed against the right wing. It’s not money or anything else that’s making the left lose. It’s their own ignorance and ego. They keep calling the right wing stupid while being beat every single day by them. There is no self awareness on the left.

        You seem to be under the impression that I may be part of the tolerant non-auth left. I am not. I am part of the intolerant non-auth left. The right wing is stupid. Fuck 'em and their sympathizers. Also, you’re a right-wing apologist if you’re actually ‘leaning left’ as you claim. For your… uhh… self-awareness.

          Oh great you don’t tolerate them. How about not tolerating the leftist who let these Nazis spread their bullshit. How about getting pissed off that 7 million leftist can muster the energy to drive miles to stand around for a single day but can’t be bothered to fight the spread of right wing bullshit.

            I mean, I tolerate leftists but not always without discord. If you look at my history – really, feel free – you’ll see that I go to bat with them all the time. I’m 100% on board with this message:

            There’s no disagreement, here. I call them out all the time. It’s… like what I do.
