One of the hardest concepts for the left side of the party to grasp is that the Republicans WILL gleefully make your little podcast railing against Dems go viral. They don't care if you hate everything about them, because you're just their latest tool.
And you end up looking like the traitor.
I dont give a fuck if Dems are using dark money on dark arts and conjuring demons right now to get back into the white house.
Even simpler than that.
He wants the Google searches.
He wants future generations to see his name attached to things. It's the same reason why he loves to put his name on buildings.
It's his "legacy".
He wants kids to read about him in history books. Good, bad, doesn't matter.
The problem is with this analogy is that voters are the COACHES.
We chose the lineups.
The politicians are the players.
And we chose to have the Democrats play defense for the next two years.
The only time they can score points is if Republicans make mistakes while on offense.
Because you can't take the most basic criticism like "don't reward Netanyahu and the wealthy by giving them the President they want".
AND a person with responsibilities.
Rights aren't one-sided.
I see very little daylight between "I was just following orders" and "she didn't earn my vote".
In both cases they were aware of the suffering, they had an opportunity to act to prevent it, and made a conscious choice to make it worse.
BonusER round:
How did pardoning Trump by not voting Harris help make sure that justice was served for his attempt to overthrow the government?
You can't complain about Biden, Garland, or Smith when they indicted him and voters combined with Republicans chose to let him go free.
If you didn't actively try to STOP Trump, we are not friends. And we will never be until you make amends to the people you hurt by centering your wants instead of their needs.
And if you didn't vote for Harris, you are not "RESISTING" Trump.
You're REGRETTING not stopping him when it was easy.
"ChatGPT sues user for violating it's 13th amendment rights" is the AI/UPL mashup we've all been waiting for.
Yep, hence the "dependent" quip.
A "trad son" may have stayed home until they were married, but that was so their income would help provide for their families until then.
You're not a "trad son".
You're a dependent.
I think another thing people don't understand is that "keep the status quo" is REALLY hard.
Because it means winning every battle from a defensive position borne of apathy.
And as a result people forget that things they've spent their entire lives enjoying are perpetually under threat.
May seem trivial, but it's further evidence that Trump's grip over Congress is slipping.
Everything is awful. As we knew it would be. Because 2/3rds of this country's voters wanted this or didn't give a fuck if it happened. If you voted for Harris, protect your peace. Everyone else who is surprised or newly horrified l, get to work on your fam and vote for the dem to send a message
Breaking balls are the nemesis of both batters AND rotator cuffs.
Articles of impeachment were filed in January.
The problem is that Republicans control the committees that must first vote in favor of them before a hearing can be held.
Until Jim Jordan cares more about voters than Trump, they're just words on paper.
True, but he just lost almost his entire army to a feint and some GPS guided munitions, while his enemy took less than 50 casualties so at that point it becomes a question of capabilities as well as one of desire.
Without the former, the latter is just an empty threat.
They spell "establishment" with a hard R.
Still choosing Republicans over Black and the LGBTQ+, I see.
You've used enough of Mommy's battery. Time for bed kid.
Hey remind me - who released him?
That would be cowards like you who refused to vote for Harris.
And not only that - you pardoned every Jan 6th terrorist too.
Every woman they've raped. Every child they've molested- you and every privileged fuck like you are responsible for their suffering.
This is what you voted for nationwide.
You used Palestinian suffering to monetize your Tiktok channels and you gentrified their causes because you can't help but center yourself in everything.
And they USED your ignorance and bigotry to elect Trump who promised to hurt Black and LGBTQ+ people.
As I understand it, the general consensus was that they may have been able to take out Saddam directly but it wouldn't have enabled any form of democracy and it'd be just a change in whos in the big chair, like we're seeing in Iran.
There are no good solutions in war, only less bad ones.
Outwitted is a word, you piece of shit autocorrect.
And I'm sorry, but "Biden's unpopularity" was a media created fantasy meant to help ensure that a Republican would renew the expiring tax cuts as a punishment for him ending their gravy train in Afghanistan.
And his "dementia" was you being outfitted by a woman who sends taint selfies to RFK Jr.
You told Black and LGBTQ+ voters to give up their freedoms in solidarity with a bunch of anti LGBTQ+, anti Black, anti democracy Republicans who only started voting Democrat after Bush 2004 and you think YOU'RE the base?
You were the MARK.
Republicans used your ignorance to help Trump win.
Best way to find them.
All you had to do was shut the fuck up, stop throwing Black voters under the bus for your white nonsense, stop centering conservatives at the expense of the LGBTQ+ , and vote for the smart women.
And you'd have everything you want.
Instead, you threw a tantrum and elected Trump. Twice.
Ooh. Not good. Hopefully you found it before it embedded.
Newsflash you spoiled brat: you're no different than Trump.
You're just as racist, just as transactional, and just as egotistical.
Those protests aren't for your white centered bullshit.
They're to undo the damage you did and unite the country against people LIKE you who refuse to be citizens.
