      The Democrats are constantly cutting their own hamstrings by courting the conservatives base rather than their own base. That’s why they always lose. Too many Chuck Schumers, not enough AOCs. The mainstream dems can’t stop suckling the corporate teet long enough to notice they’re getting played.

      At this point, I assume anyone still harping on this is a conservative provocative looking to stir up division.

      The truth is it’s possible for more than one group to be at fault. Those who stayed home have a ton of blame, the centrist dipshits at the DNC have a ton of blame, and the Republicans themselves have the most blame of all.

      Quit trying to sew division. We need unity now, not to rehash old grievances.

        I mean, neither side took a stand against genocide, so any would-be progressive who sought to “punish” the Democrats by not voting for them over this gets as much sympathy from me as all the regressive dipshits whose faces keep getting eaten by leopards. Every vote that wasn’t cast for the “genocidal” Democrats was a vote cast for the genocidal and also fascist white nationalist party.

        How’s it feel knowing you’ve got a great view of 'Murrica openly trying to emulate 1930s Germany from the saddle of your moral high horse?

          Straw man. I voted for Harris.

          https://www.commondreams.org/news/aoc-democrats:

          Just 28% of Democratic voters said they support a so-called “moderate” approach.

          How does it feel knowing you facilitated fascism by refusing to hold establishment democrats’ feet to the fire so they would adopt a platform for people instead of billionaires?

            Yes, it was totally the fault of random people (especially citizens of another country like me) who didn’t push the Dems to be more progressive that got Trump the win… because all the people who voted the orange shitstain totally would’ve swung left if the left party had been more left. Makes perfect sense.

              Yes. Here you are throwing progressives under the bus. Blaming them for democrats losing (time and time again) when reality shows progressive ideas have broad support. Polls show Bernie would have beat Donald in 2016, but we had to have Hilary, whose slogan was “I’m with her” because she had no platform. Well, not a public one, and not one that would actually help anyone with fewer than seven digits in their net worth. She’s literally says as much in her book What Happened where she says over and over that every proposed platform plank sounded great but was shot down because it involved transferring some (small amount of) money from the rich to the poor.

              The democrats are the party of billionaires just as much as republicans, they’re just less overtly racist.

              Their centrism (really, steady rightward march) is literally killing us.

        Well, now we have genocide in the US, so how did taking that stand work out?

      Do I need to change my name to name-name-3digits to join your trollfarm?

      Edit: they got me boys, there goes all my karma. Hahah.

        I think you might have me confused with someone else. I do have 4-5 accounts on different instances, but only because I abandon my current one every few months and use my email provider to generate a new alias for a new instance and use the alias as my username.

        This is for anonymity purposes because I’ve been vocally critical of the current US administration, but I guess my writing style is unique enough that you could follow me. Thanks for letting me know I need to step up my game.

        It does follow the pattern you noticed, but I’m sure I’m not the only user who does this. And I never re-login to an account once I make a new one.

            Fermented orc blood. Distilled for a really good time. There was a really good vintage out of the East recently.

          I think it’s ent wine, but I just use the email alias that my provider generates for me when I change accounts and instances every few months for a layer of anonymity.

          I guess I piss off ByteData enough that he’s noticed the pattern my provider uses, but didn’t notice that once I switch accounts I never use the old one again.

          Plus, I’m probably not the only one who does this.

        Can confirm. No pony was offered and several people on here loudly proclaimed they would be allowing trump to win because of it.
