Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

And people who sell weapons for genocide do not get the benefit of the doubt, so it’s malice.

“Failed.” Sure.

I would imagine that if you went deaf after you learned to read, rhymes would continue to make sense.

Despite? No. Because of.

Would be nice if Democrats fought Republicans instead of progressives.

Richard Nixon.

We’ve allowed it for decades. There’s just handwringing now that it happened to a shitbag ceo instead of happening to an unarmed black man at the hands of the police.

Like so. I didn’t even say I used the word, just that it was hated.

I live in the Rio Grande Valley. The prevailing sentiment I’ve heard from people regarding trump-supporting Latino relatives was that they seem to be of the opinion that trump is only going to go after the undocumented. There’s also a fuckton of anger at the word “Latinx.”

Mind you, this is anecdote based on my personal observations living in the area, and I make no claims beyond that.

Couple this with the Democratic Party moving to the right on immigration. Now the people who once had common cause with Democrats and would begrudgingly vote for them in spite of their misgivings regarding abortion and trans people had no reason to stick with the party and either voted trump or stayed home.

It also doesn’t help that we lost our NPR affiliate a few years back. The valley is really spread out and a lot of people get their news from terrestrial radio on their work commute. Now the only non-music programming is trumpist grievance screaming.

Sure. Standout names on the list for me are Henry Cuellar, a corrupt anti-choice NRA stooge that the party propped up when he was primaried by a progressive, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, head of the DNC during the 2016 Clinton campaign.

The sort of people who fight progressives and not Republicans.

What an unsurprising list.

Sure. They decided that after and not before.

A timid baby step far too late.

“We are the United States government. We don’t do that sort of thing.”

If you’re actively trying to steer people away from voting for the lesser of two evils,

I’m not. I’ve never said the people should vote for anyone other than Harris. If Harris abandons her support for genocide, how many centrists do you think will immediately switch to Trump?

If Kamala loses, Trump wins. Do you want Kamala or Trump to win.

Kamala. When she wins, what will be your new excuse to forbid all criticism of the genocide?

I dunno. Why is all criticism of Harris/Biden supporting genocide met with “Yeah?! Whatabout Trump?! You want Trump to win?”

Because that’s what centrists do when they get criticism about the only policy centrists won’t immediately abandon at the slightest pressure.

When the election is over, what are centrists going to do when they can’t pretend that anyone who doesn’t support genocide is a trumper?

BBC blocked?

…at not getting caught.
