    God, if only we hadn’t voted for the Democrats. Then things would really have improved.

        Would’ve helped. Still doesn’t excuse the “BOTHSIDES” game on the eve of literal fascism.

          You admit that running an actual progressive instead of a pro-fracking genocide apologist would be better, yet you think that admitting the weakness of our fascist “allies” isn’t excusable?

          Make it make sense.

            Big difference between “Dems ran a weak campaign and are feckless out-of-touch morons” and “Liberals are part of a duopoly conspiracy to move everything rightward and things only get worse, please ignore that we haven’t been moving continually rightward since the induction of the current two-party system”

              I don’t see any contradiction there.

              The dem candidate literally platformed Republicans as part of the campaign, how are we supposed to pretend that they actually think Republicans are a threat to democracy?
