    They’re way fucking better than the alternative, and the alternative is what you decided you were ok with when you didn’t vote.

    The margin between them narrows every election cycle, and every election cycle we’re told by people who totally agree with us that the rightward shift is bad that we need to shut up and vote how we’re ordered because the other side is decreasingly worse than we are.

    Did you expect that it would work forever?

      Uh huh. And that’s why it’s imperative that we do everything we can to primary these fucks and get them out of office. But none of that fucking matters during a general election, which is what this chucklefuck failed to vote in. In the general election, you are presented with limited options, and you vote for the option that is better for most people EVERY FUCKING TIME. Doing otherwise puts you anywhere on the spectrum from a bad citizen to a complete monster.

      Did you expect that it would work forever?

      Do you think that I am in charge of the Democratic party? What the fuck are you blaming me for? You voted for Harris, too, you fucking nitwit.

        If your answer is “just primary them lol” it’s because you trust democrats to run honest primaries. Or at least dishonest primaries that yield the results you want.

        But none of that fucking matters during a general election, which is what this chucklefuck failed to vote in. In the general election, you are presented with limited options, and you vote for the option that is better for most people EVERY FUCKING TIME.

        Vote blue no matter what we do. No red lines. No standards. We will tell you which person to vote for, and you will shut up and pretend to love it. We will move to the right again, and you will shut up and pretend to love it.

        Or in your case, you won’t have to pretend. After all, you’re still carrying water for harris.

        Do you think that I am in charge of the Democratic party?

        You’re in charge of who you blame. And the party can never be wrong. It’s always the stupid voters not being genocide-happy enough.

        You voted for Harris, too, you fucking nitwit.

        Don’t vote? It’s all your fault for not happily voting for genocide. Vote? Fucking nitwit. You voted for genocide like we wanted.

        The only thing you want from the left is permanent complicit silence no matter how far to the right the party moves.
