I want you to remember while all this clown show is going down that they managed to make their party less palatable than Donald. Fucking. Trump.

They could have won so easily. They could have absolutely swept it. It would have been a cakewalk for them to stop funding genocide. That’s all it would have taken.

Now imagine if they did that AND properly cancelled student loan debt like they promised.

Imagine if they had taken the threat of the Republican party seriously instead of reaching across they isle

Imagine if they had stopped abortion bans and secured woman’s autonomy.

Imagine if they had cracked down on landlords and rent prices. Sure rich people would complain but that’s easily combated by paying for advertising showing renters being like “this is great I can actually afford to live now.”

Imagine if they had cut out the stupid means testing red tape crap and actually funded poor people instead of wars to get them in homes, off the streets and gasp spending money in the economy? You could have easily sold it to small businesses as “Hey we’re going to give poor people money, where do you think they’re going to spend it? At your business, idiot.”

Even something simple like capping fuel prices at a reasonable rate would have absolutely destroyed any bad blood between voters and the Dems

They could have had the easiest victory, but they didn’t have the spine to betray their wealthy donors. They never intended to win and might as well be an arm of the Republican party. It has to be on purpose.

    People are surprised, they become indignant. They say: “How strange! But never mind — it’s Nazism, it will pass!” And they wait, and they hope; and they hide the truth from themselves, that it is barbarism, but the supreme barbarism, the crowning barbarism that sums up all the daily barbarisms; that it is Nazism, yes, but that before they were its victims, they were its accomplices; that they tolerated that Nazism before it was inflicted on them, that they absolved it, shut their eyes to it, legitimized it, because, until then, it had been applied only to non-European peoples; that they have cultivated that Nazism, that they are responsible for it, and that before engulfing the whole of Western, Christian civilization in its reddened waters, it oozes, seeps, and trickles from every crack.

    Liberals spent four years showing how demonic they really are.
