He’s pretty much just a mirrored Susan Collins: virtue signals that he puts principles over party but is a complete fraud who falls in line 99% of the times that his vote actually matters.

But from the RIGHT of the party leadership kinda sorta and for Freedumb!

Wait, why tf am I guessing

Because it’s fun 😁

I like you 😁

Smelly Pugilist?

That’s probably the one. Unhygienic sluggers are such gossips!

SP?

Sicilian Pravda?
Sorbet Parlors?
Soft Porn?
Serbian Polemics?
Swiss Poetry?
Severe Pessimism?
Southern Persia?

Meanwhile, Mamdani is seemingly struggling to keep from bursting out laughing at the whole ridiculous situation!

Must have been simultaneously flattering, exciting, hilarious, and deeply unsettling to know that the guy who reviles everything you treasure is hanging on your every word…

That’s the pseudointellectual term for the theory of “the president gets to do whatever he wants because he’s the president”, yeah.

The elections specifically is just the “no smoke without a fire” approach to poll monitoring by people lugging around a barely concealed smoke machine, a zippo lighter, and a can of gasoline.

See also: one of the most based of all US representatives, Somali American Ilhan Omar.

He and his cult absolutely revile her.

Perfect opportunity to find out whether or not they’re just going to falsely declare seats for the Republicans that they didn’t actually win, like both the state and federal GOP have been working towards for several years

Being from Denmark, it was pretty freaky to see that top one at first tbh 😄

Since it’s under Homeland Security, it would be the dog murderer Gestapo Barbie or one of her underlings.

Any relation to David?

Doesn’t sound familiar at all, nuh-uh!

I love the argument that the Dems must run the ideal canidate

You may, but that’s not the argument I made. Please refrain from strawmen and other logical fallacies if you can.

That the reason Americans picked hate isn’t because they could possibly be prejudiced against women, but that they just don’t like centrists and need to be more inspired to do anything.

Again with the strawmen. Misrepresenting my argument isn’t a good way to bolster your own.

I think the answer is plainly far too many Americans are too hateful

Sure, you’d think that if you willfully ignore all of the contributing factors I and others have ever mentioned beyond “fascists are just voluntarily bad for no reason other than being bad” 🙄

Also love the “no you can’t use the example of the male centrist winning because that would make my point bad”

Again with the strawman. The male Centrist BARELY scraping by against the most hated incumbent in history SUPPORTS my argument.

You either have the reading comprehension of a toddler or the capacity for arguing in good faith of a Republican politician, so I’m not gonna waste any more time on your willfully obtuse ass. Have the day you deserve

Twice now American voters have picked the absolute worse person imaginable over a woman an awful candidate who refuses to consider the wants and needs of the base and happened to be a woman.

Fixed it for you. While I’d never go to such ridiculous lengths as to say that sexism isn’t a serious systemic problem, that’s not why Hillary and Kamala lost.

It wasn’t that people aren’t ready for a female president. It was that the vast majority of people to the left of fascism are more than ready for a president that listens to them more than to owner donors, strategists stuck in 1992, and other unrepresentative power brokers

The only logical explanation I can find is there is a subsection of the population unwilling to vote for a woman “Centrist”

Fixed it for you again.

Nobody except the aforementioned owner donors, strategists stuck in 1992, and other unrepresentative power brokers want “Republican mild” candidates with no substance except an almost religioud reverence for the broken system that has enabled them to fail upwards for decades.

Obviously yes each campaign had it’s issue we can go into

Understatement of the decade.

when you look at the opposition it’s hard to find the logic

Not really no. When you consider the following, it makes a sick sort of sense:

1. Republicans are many times more effective at messaging. This is mainly because they’re much less likely to be constrained by such details as objective reality, ethics, and authenticity, but their propaganda is nonetheless MUCH more effective than the thrice-measured sound bytes of the Dem leadership.

2. In the vast majority of states, it’s MUCH more difficult and time consuming to vote in the kinds of neighborhoods that skew more Blue and diverse than Red and filthy rich.

During covid, the number of absentee ballot dropoff points in the most populous county in Texas (Harris, almost 5 million) was decreased to ONE, all the while country clubs of a hundred members still had their own official polling station and even impoverished Red areas are typically rural so there’s not many people per polling station

3. The combination of 1, 2, and other election tampering means that it takes a LOT more to get the entire Dem base to vote than for the Fascist Party base.

As a result of this, Dems NEED a candidate that’s inspiring enough that even the most jaded will go way above and beyond the amount of effort it SHOULD take in order to vote for them.

Neither Hillary nor Kamala was anywhere close to being that candidate and they wouldn’t have been if they were men either.

And before you go “but the man Biden won! Checkmate!”, I’d like to remind you that he actually won the popular vote by a smaller margin than Hillary did, and that he did so during an active pandemic that the incumbent fascist had been failing to manage so spectacularly that anything other than a landslide victory would be extremely worrying for the future of the Dem party.

They made a movie about the Clinton-Trump throuple?

I just saw a quote from Michelle Obama, along the lines of the US isn’t ready for a woman president

Probably just making excuses for why the awful candidate her husband helped force onto the ballot failed at the most winnable presidential election since the two previous ones.

In equally obvious news, oceans are big, mountains are tall, and the Dem leadership needs to go.

Not even suggesting the crisis itself was a conspiracy, only that they were ready to jump on anything to gain power.

Yup. Just like project 2025, portions of which were more likely than not written in the early 90s if not before.

Hell, whether it’s The Heritage Foundation, ALEC, The John Birch Society, or some of the hundreds of others, it’s almost 100% certain that the abominable patriot act was written mostly or solely by dark money financed far right think tanks.
