    The crazy thing is that ignoring his scandals, ignoring his alcoholism (which should be disqualifying) guy’s rank alone makes him unqualified. During meetings he will be the dumbest man in the room.

    Just because they got elected doesn’t mean we have to take this sitting down. The margin of victory was barely over 1%.

      well within the margin-of-error in pretty much any polling.

        What does the margin of error of a poll have to do with the outcome of an election? Like, I definitely think he’s got zero political mandate for anything because he barely won (and I think he only even got that because the Democratic party has a bunch of their voters stay home), but I am still pretty convinced that Trump did in fact win the election.

        Yes because a poll is maybe a thousand people. It’s not when you poll millions of people.

          Don’t know much about statistics I’m guessing. That’s more than enough of a sample size to represent a population. That’s why there’s a margin of error in polls.

    that’s the ultimate in qualifications for half the senate to steamroll a nomination through.

    We’re just flipping between people who legitimately believe in Sky Daddy and think he personally talk to them…

    Like, now that’s Biden gone can we talk about how religious extremists aren’t the right choice for the only option to fight a Christofascist?

    Dems looked at one of trump’s biggest flaws and decided they should meet him halfway, which seems to have been their overall plan considering after Biden, Kamala suddenly became pro-fracking, pro-genocide, pro-borderwall, and against healthcare reform.

    The people who have been running the DNC for over 30 years don’t want to run a candidate Dem voters want.

    They want to run the candidate who is just barely acceptable and win by the slimmest margin to keep oligarch donors happy and fat regardless of who the president is

    It’s controlled opposition and unless the party pulls it’s head out of its ass and picks a good chair…

    Well, it’s decades late to move on from the party, but the second best time to plant a tree is now.

    If we had done it in 2016, the pain would be over by now, but nothing is getting better following the DNCs path, 30 years is long enough to say we gave “moderates” a chance.

    It’s not a winnable platform.

    “Critical Race Theory” is old news anyway. Even back in my day, liberal indoctrination was based off of “Latino and Colored Dominace” theory. Since the theory was much simpler, the books on it were thinner and less bulky to move around. The simplicity allow for a better vision and higher number of proposed resolutions.

    Though I will miss the sound Critical Race Theory made whenever I hit the “degauss” button on the side.

      Made me expel a small amount of air from my nose. I think most people just read the first few words and then downvoted.

      (Or didn’t think the context appropriate for making acronym-based jokes.)

      Excellent post. You managed to shoehorn in your own opinion where there was arguably no room. Impressive.
