It's really cute watching all the Neolibs pretend like their conservative policies attract the leftists they need to win elections.

Sucking up to a demographic of old white conservative men was not a winning strategy for the Democratic party.

I was also on the side of vote for Kamala fix it after because with Trump fixing is impossible with Kamala maybe. But whenever I see stuff like

45 Democrats Vote With GOP to Pass Bill Sanctioning ICC Over Netanyahu Warrant

Senate Overwhelmingly Rejects Sanders Resolutions to Block Arms Sales to Israel

it makes me doubt how feasible this approach would be too. Sure Kamala is factors of magnitude better than Trump for the USA, for Ukraine, for LGBTQ people, for women etc. But I can understand a US citizen with roots in the middle east etc not voting for Democrats after seeing disgusting stuff like this.

"PATRIOT Act" passed Senate 98 to 1. Partisanship is for complete morons.

Missed the point again award. If people want to vote for conservatives, they're going to vote for conservatives, not conservatives lite. If people want to vote for leftists, they're going to vote third party, vote for the dipshit threatening to tear it all down, or stay home, not vote for conservatives lite. If you'd take a few seconds to really use your noggin, you'd understand that people are fucking drowning and desperate for a change. Not "lol the guys at the Goldman Sachs fundraiser said we should think about a 1% COLA for social security", I'm talking burn the house down and start over change. There's a reason why there's the phenomenon of the Obama-Bernie-Trump voter or Bernie-Trump voter. It's not the sexism, it's the promise of change. Obama failed to deliver, and Bernie didn't happen, which just leaves us with that fucking guy. The democrats miscalculated twice and thought that voters surely wouldn't vote for that fucking guy over their promise of change so mild that even fox news would get bored. It's not the voter's fault that the democrats failed to put forward a good platform. To the Democratic party and the people towing this line, I say: voters don't owe you victory. In fact, voters don't owe you a goddamn thing. Stop blaming them and get your shit together or get out of the way.

I don’t even want the democrats to get their shit together. I want them to get the fuck out of the way. That party needs to go the way of the fucking whigs.

When Democrats move to the right in order to capture conservative votes, conservatives don't believe they're sincere. But the left does.

Probably still would've been less bad if people voted for the lesser of two evils though

Yes to all of this. Neolibs in this thread are really pressed.

Privatized gains, socialized losses except instead of losing money, your daughters die of a miscarriage in the waiting rooms of hospitals

BlueMAGA is literally Russian propaganda. Anyone who uses the term unironically is a troll.

At least centrists didn't have to move left.

I'm glad we have a sexual assaulter to tell us how it is.
