    Democracy dies with thunderous cries of “Well, I didn’t want to reward Senator Amidala for supporting the Clone Wars!”

    (please note that this is not purely a metaphor for Gaza - it’s a culmination of all the issues that people beat the “BOTHSIDES” drum on ie all of them)

      Hey, Pug? When’s it gonna be the Democrats fault? When are they gonna take responsibility for any of their failures? 'Cause where I’m sitting, I keep seeing them make monumental mistakes, like when they handed an 82 year old man in cognitive decline the nomination, replaced him at the 11th hour when it became clear he couldn’t win, then rerun their strategy of courting moderate Republicans, which already cost them the election in 2016. But no matter how many mistakes they make, it always seems to be everyone else’s fault that they lose. So when’s it going to be the Democrats responsibility to go out and win a fucking election? (AKA the most basic function of a political party.)

        They bear responsibility too, make no mistake. Most of it. But everyone who sat out here on their asses and didn’t bother doing the least goddamn thing to help stave out off fascism, a fucking check mark in a box, also bears some responsibility, and I don’t intend to let those fucks forget that.

    Liberty died when Kamala refused to break from Biden on genocide, paraded around with the Cheney crime family and her supporters gaslit and attacked anyone that pointed it out. Good job Democrats. You got exactly what we told you that you would if you didn’t change.

    And the Democratic Party is fucking Jar-Jar Binks. They literally could have stomped Trump into the ground like 2020 and instead they run an unlikable BayArea black woman last minute with zero chance of winning. Donald trump received 2 million less votes last night than he did in 2020 and still won. Democrats are responsible for this shit show and I can’t believe I wasted money donating to them.

      I hope if we’re allowed real opposition parties in the future we can dump the dems and form a real leftist party.

    “This is Master Obi Wan Kenobi. I regret to report that both our Jedi Order and the Republic, have fallen with a dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi. Trust in The Force. Do not return to the Temple…that time has past. And our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged. Our trust. Our faith. Our friendships. But we must persevere. And in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you, always.”

    Today we learned that America is more sexist than racist.

    They will vote for a black man in droves, but not a woman.
