This is THE problem. Statements like this. She did the ONLY thing she had to do. The failing was not hers, it was COLLECTIVELY ours. The failing was not making her president. How are people still not getting that no matter what, she was clearly and without doubt the better choice. THAT is what matters. Everyone trying to split hairs and justify her not winning, still doesn’t get it.

The depths of my WTF!? when hearing he capitulated… are without a bottom.

The republicans have been working on this plan OPENLY for many, many years. Trump in particular SAYS he’s going to do x, y, and z. Nearly every opportunity to stop him and the republicans has been squandered or surrendered without a fight and zero consequences applied.

Heads should have quite literally rolled long before. There needs to be consequences for treason and not political.

American politicians are mostly bought and paid for by Russia and Israel and who knows who else.

Our political system and rule of law are so broken I believe it is just irredeemable at this point.

I don’t blame the democrats directly but they do share some responsibility for not doing things WHEN THEY COULD. Some individually more than others. Schumer definitely is on the, “more than others” side.

I interject reality into my wants. The reality is, and this cannot be understated, we must unite behind WHOEVER has a chance of beating the fascist oligarchy. Priorities people, priorities. Your statement, when enacted is partly how we arrived where we are now.

Edit: Just to be clear. I absolutely agree with her and I also agree with you. I just will not make it a hard line. Putting our votes behind a losing ticket does not help in this situation since we may have already passed the point of no return in terms of our votes counting. If we don’t unite now, I for one am convinced that will be our last chance, IF it even exists.

Slavery didn’t stop at the civil war. And ever since, we’ve been made to fight one another.

The rich orchestrating the fighting between us did not start at the civil war. In the US, it goes all the way back to the colonies.

I did…in my mind. I did not upvote. I rarely logged in to comment OR vote.

My sincerest

Not remotely true about anything. I saw this on reddit and was going to comment but they apparently banned me for… what, I have no idea because I mostly lurk and only ever post once in a great while.

Anyway. This is a 16 year old photograph from a story from Middletown, OH. This is a woman, not a man. She was alleged to be intoxicated and chasing children.

Sorry/not sorry to get in the way of a bs made up caption.

Edit: corrected the location.

When it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck…

The trumpnazis are literally taking signs, symbols, gestures, modus operendi, et al from German nazis. It’s not wrong to label nazis, “Nazi.” If you wish to be pedantic then by all means, trumpnazis would be completely accurate.

100% this.

I think it had been building for years due to ever increasing numbers of people behaving badly behind pseudonyms online but the majority of asshats still maintained the illusion of not being asshats. Trump’s first ascendancy gave all those closet asshats permission to no longer care about maintaining illusions.
