    I’m not going to argue about any of that because even in the worst case where all of that is true it’s still ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE BETTER THAN TRUMP.

      @Cryophilia I agree with you, that’s why I voted for Harris, even though there are multitudes of major politicians I would support before her. But if elections were just about what was objectively best almost no elected officials would be in office. You have to at least attempt to play the game of politics and the DNC has flatly refused to do so the last three elections (and lost two of them).

      This is the time to discuss that. There’s a non-zero chance that the DNC tries to anoint someone like Tim Kaine like $insult to the nomination and then they loose to some Diet Trump person. And I really don’t think waiting until 2032 to fix what’s being broken today is a good plan.

        At least we’ve moved away from “I’m a proudly stupid voter” to “unfortunately, we have to cater to the stupid ones”. That’s progress. I can work with that.
