In the final paragraph she finally says what she really thinks.
Given how catastrophic another Trump term would be — including in Israel, where the far right fantasizes about his return — I find people who threaten to withhold their votes from Biden maddening. But if Democrats want them to come around, listening to them will be more effective than lecturing them.
I know I'm preaching to the choir but every single time a liberal encounters a protest they don't like that's working - they make me want to scream. They demand that it end immediately. No shit. That's the entire point! They want every such protest to be peaceful, ineffectual, and absolutely utterly pointless so that they can go back to brunch.
They are losing their minds that “I won’t vote for someone conducting genocide” is an absolute moral position
When it comes to Biden, dems, and liberals I keep saying "I keep underestimating how bad they are." But time passes and I found I've made the same mistake yet again.
Seriously though - I would have thought being anti-genocide would be a position even liberals could understand. But here we are.
The only people left supporting dems are full on Blue MAGA now.
100% it all boomers and the most brainwashed people
Well that and some genuinely low information voters who just don't even know what's happening
Its also the last meritocracy believers, the striver types who become PMC and make just enough and recieve enough treats and perks that they still believe their interests are compatible with the interests of financial capital. Thats the real base of the party, just like the beautiful boaters are the base of team red
Eh, outside of literal Washington insiders I don’t even think that’s true. I’m surrounded by PMC striver types (just not literal operatives of the DNC) and it’s so obvious that the Dems don’t believe in meritocracy.
Biden is so plainly incompetent that it’s hard to believe that these are the people upholding a system that allows the best to rise to the top.
Such an easy stance to take
They want to live in a world where bad things only happen to bad people and the system works perfectly and requires no maintenance or effort from the people. They also think that if they just ignore problems, they can pretend to live in this world. I think this is why Trump made them lose their minds. Trump is really, really good at being impossible to ignore. So for a brief moment, they had to face the reality of their country, what it was actually like, and they hated it. This is why they are acting like a second Trump term will be apocalyptic. Because it will force them to actually engage with reality for a change.
