    Straw manning so f-ing hard. Just in case anyone didn’t realize this guy is just coping really hard, here is what actually happened. Dems elected Biden because we unfortunately need a centrist to appeal to swing voters. He then enacted lots of progressive policies and had an incredibly successful 4 year term. Then everyone was very surprised that he planned to run again because it was heavily implied that he wouldn’t. When Dems realized he really is too old to be running, lots of pressure was applied and he passed the torch. While Kamala wasn’t mine or, I’d guess, many of the folks here’s first choice we once again need a centrist to appeal to swing voters. Tim Walz is a really nice VP pick for us though as he’s definitely more progressive. I’m so pleasantly surprised that she didn’t pick Beshear “cuz Israel” and I think it’s a really good sign. That’s why her campaign is going well. Because she’s surprising.

    Basically nothing this OP said is true or genuine and Dems are the only ones willing to shake anything up or admit that things need to change. So literally the opposite of what the idiot I’m responding to is purporting in bad faith.

    Who exactly is huffing farts again? The party willing to pivot or the one still voting for a geriatric wannabe dictator?

    I’m sure voting for Republicans or not voting will help though right?

    What a coincidence! I stopped reading after this too. I’m not gonna look through your comment history prick. Fortunately I didn’t write that for you because you’re obviously too stupid to understand any of it which is why you pretended not to read it. I wrote it for anyone else that might be confused by the trash you’re spewing. Can’t wait to not read your next 5 paragraph essay that’s just full of lies and insults. Have a great day!

    I’m sure voting for Republicans or not voting will help though right? Lol. I live in a state that’s been controlled by Democrats for a while and we keep voting for more and more progressive people. Things are objectively better and they’ll keep getting better.

    I’m sorry that the entire country isn’t a socialist utopia after the Dems had tiny majorities in the house and Senate for one term and an even slimmer one another time. Both times with those majorities made up of vulnerable representatives in conservative areas. Turns out that’s how democracy works. It’s slow and that sucks but Republicans have spent 40 years grinding us towards fascism. Fascism is way easier to push as well.

    We have to vote for the most progressive candidates possible. They all have to win big so they don’t have to be scared of being unseated by moderates or Republicans. We have to keep doing this from the local level to the federal level for a long time for things to change. Because if that’s who gets voted in consistently then the Republicans and the Democrats will move left.

    40 years since Reagan and you’re over here crying that the Dems didn’t change the entire momentum of the country in 4 when they didn’t even have a clear mandate from the voters? Pathetic. You are the problem. Get some perspective and have the decency to spend an hour or two to vote for the most progressive candidates available which is the absolute easiest and least thing you can do. I know it’s slightly harder than crying on the internet. Sorry about that.

    How could the checks notes DEMOCRATS do this to us?! Pretending that the Dems are responsible for things this meme admits they’re actively fighting against is so braindead that it’s no wonder everyone thinks all these leftists are just Russian bots or right wing trolls. The premise here is just so moronic and short sighted that it’s depressing to think that a real human could actually post this and genuinely think they’re being honest.
