Democrats have all the spontaneity of the House of Windsor. Or, closer to home, they’re closer to what Republicans once were, a party that falls in line not in love.

    If Democrats care about your daughter, they would have run a better candidate.

    As you acknowledge, the stakes are incredibly high, so why would we run the only person polling poorly against Donald Trump? I hate to tell you, but they don’t give a damn about your daughter.

      Oh, okay, I guess I should be fine when Trump’s goons march her into a camp then because the Democrats didn’t run a better candidate. My mistake.

        Right, direct that anger towards the real problem here. The Democratic Party, who sat by while it happens.

            Its in their nature. We cant throw our hands up and let them get away with it. I blame the adults in the room for letting the child run rough shod

          So I shouldn’t be angry at Trump and his people for doing it?

          Is this like being angry at Chamberlain for allowing Hitler to start WWII and ignoring the fact that Hitler started WWII.

            There is absolutely a historical case to be made that appeasement was a fatal error leading to the rise of Nazi Germany.

            We cant blame snakes for being snakes. What we need is some snake wranglers. We’ve had 4 years to prevent Trump and did nothing.

            We get what we deserve

                Considering we might literally lose our country to fascism, no it wasn’t good enough.

                The stakes are simply too high for failure, any amount, period.

                It feels like nobody is taking this seriously. You have the last poster and the very same breath talking about the death camps coming for their daughter, and even they don’t seem to be taking it seriously.

                It’s all about to crumble down and we’re not asking for what needs to be done to fix it.

                For God’s sake, I remember progressives accurately complaining about merrick garland when he was appointed telling Biden it was a very bad appointment.
