    No no friend, the Harris campaign had 1.5 Billion dollars.

    And the DNC just threw all their workers out on their asses without even offering severance, because they’re “broke?” People who had worked there for decades. THAT is their caliber of financial management?

    The Harris campaign threw wasted dollar after dollar into Republican pits to gain exactly NOTHING, as 94 fucking percent of Republicans voted Republican (as one would expect of a cult). Meanwhile the top Harris consultants were people making millions a year from Uber who flat out steered the boat away from any negative messaging about the corporate hands that pull their strings.

    They WANTED to lose. All the surface animosity is a facade; they’re controlled opposition.

    Yeah, this “shavings make a pile” strategy is quaint, but fascists generally only understand one message, and it’s historically delivered at the end of a fist. And Democrats are proving themselves to very much NOT be a party of fighters.

    Biden has essentially been granted a King’s powers and is showing the world exactly who he is by accomplishing exactly nothing, when there are no recriminations for pushing to do ALL that he claimed he would when he took the office. He is the worlds most self-impotent empty suit.

    I don’t believe the Democrats actually wanted to win this election.

    Losing, while upholding the facade of “fighting the Republicans,” means donations will likely go UP, their “underdog” status remains intact, and they won’t have to pretend to govern, nor offer the public the milquetoast accomplishments that only verify they capitulate to their oligarch/corporate backers. Losing IS their strategy.





  • We have two parties. TWO.
    The GOP is obviously never coming to anyone’s aid. You think the DNC is going to somehow morph into a team of winners? They’re categorical losers. They’re a party of neoliberal minds, insulated from the outcomes of their own failures.

    Yes, I’d like other options, and yes, the electorate should be inclusive. But the party that determines who runs and the party that sets strategy, and the party that is supposed to be fighting for the common person, is NOT.

    And many of those party heads are incredibly old and out of touch, and frankly, just in the way, as they manufacture reasons why they continually lose, yet simultaneously grow their own wealth and influence. The duopoly of being the brightest and best political minds is not congruent with being perennial losers. So they’re just not trying to win. That is not their goal. They are there to gratify themselves, while losing.


  • lol, and just whom do you think that was?

    Who is most likely to disseminate incorrect information? Who never bothers to verify facts? Who couldn’t be arsed to apply critical thinking to the information presented?

    Why do you think foreign agitators targeted Facebook in 2016 and beyond? It’s because Baby Boomer rubes are the easiest targets available. Who voted for Brexit?

    There’s no critical thinking there, no challenging of statements. They just assume they’ll fail upwards no matter what course of action they take, because for most of their lives that has been true.


  • Who do you think set the stage? Baby Boomers voted for 50 years to only enrich themselves while pulling up every ladder they had for advancement. They are 100% the “fuck you, I got mine” mentality.

    Of COURSE we should have social safety nets and a more enlightened society. The reason we do NOT is that a massive cohort of incredibly narcissistic personalities had control of the government for 50 years. And even now, many Boomers refuse to step down from their “leadership” positions. “Generation Me” has been remarkably consistent in their attitudes, for roughly 55 years.
