"Our guy is as bad as their guy" isn't the blistering retort you think it is.
Harris wasn't as bad as Trump, that's the galling thing.
But really, it doesn't matter now and I'm done arguing about it.
We're all going to suffer, but the fire that will warm my heart for the next four years is all the calories I'll burn telling Trump voters. Stein voters, and non-voters that they are getting what they voted for.
I mean, pretending you're better than everyone else is definitely a choice. Democrats used to be the party of the working poor but they've morphed into the party of ideological superiority.
I must admit I'm a tad shocked watching you folks double down on all your mistakes after this last election.
I'm a tad shocked watching you folks assume that people can't both recognize the hell you have sentenced ALL of us to for a bare minimum of the next four years while also being angry as shit at the DNC for fucking this up so bad and letting them know about it via more effective means than posting to social media for your approval.
Edit: And make no mistake, the last group of people who could have avoided what we're all about to experience is the electorate.
If you voted Democrat in this election, you are absolutely better than someone who voted for Republicans or the Green Party (a vote for Republicans). You are better ethically and economically. You'll spend the next 4 years (or more) learning that the hard way.
If you bothered to pay attention to the legislation Democrats, to this day, still pass or attempt to pass, you'd know that they are still very much the party of the working poor.
It's high time you sit down and review the voting history of the Democrat and Republican parties so you can actually educate yourself. And no, I don't care about the Green Party because they are not, and will not be anytime in the foreseeable future, powerful enough to introduce, much less pass legislation.
