      No people know what it means to pick the less disgusting turd out of the bowl. They’re just tired of eating shit for “strategic reasons”.

        Am I the only one who just realized that these people who are so tired are usually just kids who’ve voted in at most two elections and didn’t even participate in the primaries or local elections?

        If y’all put half the energy into being consistent voters that ya did in bitching about “having to” once in a blue moon when you’re dragged by the hair to the polls first.

          I’m in my forties. I’m a millennial.

          This is just some more ‘damn kids’ boomer bullshit.

            I like how your big slam dunk is to admit that you’ve been on this bullshit for over 20 years now and haven’t learned a damn thing if you think “stand aside and let Gaza be annexed outright” is a defensible position.

            Letting Trump Win is an action which furthers genocide and me pointing that out is not boomer shit, you’re over a decade older than me and yet you’re carrying yourself with the mental maturity of the inverse.

              No, I’ve learned that when I give the Democratic party control of all three houses, they break their own promises and refuse to use the power they’ve been given in any meaningful way.

              I remember the murdered peace movement when Obama got into office and got the American Foreign Wars Count up from 2 to 16.

              I remember the dead promise to legislate a law protecting abortion when the Democratic party had all three branches of the government and absolutely could have passed legislation.

              I remember holding my nose and voting for Clinton as she then continued to run the worst campaign I’ve ever seen and then, as fucking always, blame it on the left.

              My gotcha is I’ve lived a life of watching the Democratic party attack its base for the worst causes and try to shame anyone with a memory longer than a goldfish into voting for them again.

              Genocide is Binary. Harris has made it clear (in so much as she has made any policy view that she holds clear) that she will follow Bidens current policy.

              Biden is currently committing genocide. And yes, giving weapons to the person doing it is the same as doing it. Especially if you could stop it with a single phone call.

              If the best battlecry the Democrats can muster is “think of the children Gazans”, that’s pretty sad. Trump is an incredibly low-quality candidate and if you can’t put a winner up against that, that’s on you. This guy shouldn’t be hard to beat, but the Democrats are so committed to being the most milquetoast lip-service liberals that they can’t even beat concentrated stupidity.

                Yeah how dare democrats put up the candidate that won the primaries instead of throwing out the results on behalf of the jackasses that have to be convinced to show up to the generals every 4 years, nevermind for locals and midterms!

                  Harris did not win the primary.

                  Also, in several States, the Democratic party broke the law, and their own internal rule to make sure that Biden was the only candidate on the ballot.

                  It wasn’t a democratic selection, no matter how much you want to imply that it was.

                • Yeah the “it’s her turn” people showed up and really cranked the vote out. Good for them. She might even win. Will that save the Gazans? I suspect not.
