      Voting for Trump? That's a vote for Trump

      Non-voting? That's a vote for Trump

      Voting for Kamala? Actually a half vote for Trump

    Democrats continuously gaslighting themselves into believing that there's this huge base of "moderate" anti-Trump Republican voters is fascinating

      It really is wild how the democrats entire electoral strategy has been missing off 98% of the country tonappeal to exactly 8 people in the Midwest.

      It's really past the point where I can give them the benefit of the doubt and it becomes pretty obvious they'd prefer to lose to republicans than concede to their left.

        It's been said around here before (just a little while ago in one of the similar threads. edit: here) that the democrats aren't seeking moderate or republican voters, they are seeking republican donors. Their strategy suddenly makes much more sense when seen through that lens. Even setting that aside though, they would absolutely prefer to lose to Republicans than concede to the left. It's basically the same idea as class solidarity in that they will always be on the side of those who actually share their interests, even if they are in competition with them, rather than side with those who oppose their interests, even when doing so could give them a competitive advantage over their supposed adversaries in an election.

      I think one problem not mentioned yet is how much of democrat leadership works closely with republicans throughout their daily lives. These ghouls grow up going to the same schools. They work at the same law firms doing the same internships. Then they get careers where they have to talk to republicans on a daily basis. Sometimes it's on the phone, sometimes it's over meals.

      They've stared too long into the abyss. They get used to coming to an agreement with GOP serial killers over what catering to order for dinner, they start thinking it works for healthcare bills.

      I do think they're also deliberate in guarding capitalism from leftwing mobs. I haven't said anything new, this is class solidarity manifesting among the bourgeois. I just wonder if there's actual, true believers in "reaching across the aisle" or if it's a cynical ploy to invent reality.

      I wish someday I could find somebody who loves me half as much as democrats love losing elections.

    Do libs remember how much they hated Manchin and death-to-the-poor for siding with republicans? Fuck it, let's put the real deal in a position of power. Maybe nominate one for a spot on the supreme court. Oh wait, Obama already did that. bangs head against desk it's never going to fucking change

    Boy there was like 2 weeks there where I was worried that I was gonna anhave to vote for ka.ala because the dems were technically doing what I hoped they would and seemed like it made sense to at least acknowledge the effort by biting my tongue and voting foe her.

    Really appreciate the last few weeks of making it perfectly clear she's just as bad if not worse than Biden on all her policies.

    Good luck with the voting bloc or "people who don't hate Dick Cheyney and want republican cabinet members and aren't already voting republican"

      Right?? They dumped Biden, Harris skipped Netanyahu's address, she didn't pick Josh Shapiro as her running mate, it really looked like the Party was capitulating to our demands.

      They couldn't even pretend for a full month.
