I love this kvetch that basically amounts to "it’s unfair that the centrists realized they had a combined majority and then acted like it!"

Your key accusation is an admission that the man was not even a winner among the party he was running in and that the only reason he was doing so well was because of the spoiler effect.

1912 must look like the most legit election in American history to you! 40% of the popular vote is plenty of a mandate for ol’ Wilson!

Had Bernie had the same turnout in a system that isn’t ass backwards like FPTP he would never have been able to escape second place in any of the primaries.

Yeah but the polls didn’t significantly falter, they’re still statistically tied with only a margin of error shift since the debate.

This isn’t an organic moment of partisan reconsideration. It’s being pushed by the same folks who were already loudly and obnoxiously telling us about how they don’t like Joe and threatening to vote protest or skip voting because, shock of shocks, nobody primaried the sitting president and risk sowing division right before an election where the other candidate is Hitler’s inbred pet mango.

Horse Race reporting, it’s literally all the mainstream has to say people are concerned about because his performance actually holds up when you check the stats.

But if you dare say that people are literally being manipulated into thinking he’s worse than he is you’re “not understanding the median voter’s struggles”

We need to force the sale of news corporations to the journalists so this profit maxxing bothsidesifying shit can go the way of the dodo.

Imagine cross posting the guy who’s a known Kremlin stooge, even if it’s only because they’d kill him if he wasn’t.

Yeah they should have checked likeability, maybe by holding a vote on it that everyone who wanted a say would participate in and say who they liked the most!

Surely that nasty wasty clinton wouldn’t have won in a vote head to head with the living saint Bernie!

They finally admit Clinton blew Sanders out of the water in the popular vote but only when they think it gives them an excuse to talk down at the stupid proles who didn’t know what was good for them.

You’re basically complaining that Trump got a bullshit EC win but Sanders didn’t.

First the fix is in because there weren’t primaries and now it’s in because the DNC listened to it too much.

Anything to worship at the altar of St. Bernard, who told you shitbags to support the winner both times.

It’s messianic thinking for people who think they’re smarter than most Christians.

Nah, he lost because the people that are still posting this shit didn’t spend half the energy turning put to vote in the primaries that they do complaining about everyone who did.

Anyone else remember how “low information voters” kept coming up whenever the significantly black state primaries swung for Clinton or Biden?

My sickness is finally clearing up after weeks!

Honestly, publicly accessible HSR would be a dope way to travel with little ones, just flip the TV on and lock the door to the sleeper car room whenever you need to take a break from the railcation and get food or something.

Family carriages can even have a diaper dispenser and changing station in the room!

You say that as if it’s not exactly what’s kept happening. None of what’s happening is new, just how often it keeps happening because Republicans have been taken over by the obstruction caucus completely.

Why are you so insistent on blaming the democrats for what the Republicans (and leftover Liebercrats) are doing to stop them from achieving anything?

Do you actually know for a fact that that’s enough manpower to work on multiple major pieces of legislation at the same time, or do you just want to say that because you wamt be amgy?

So Steve Banon but obsessed with his dog, got it

Yes but being made to fly actually hurts them because they aren’t ready for the pressure differences.

They aren’t crying just for the hell of it as much as everyone likes to joke about that being the case, that’s literally the only way they have to express that they need something or that they’re in some kind of distress for a good stretch of the time after they’re born.

Until the kid is able to sit still and be relatively quiet all you’re doing by forcing them onto the plane is imposing the very loud and painful results onto everyone else just trying to travel.

This goes for movies and restaurants and other such public places, though at least now you’re not also actually hurting the kid by bringing them into that situation. Still being as much of an ass to everyone else just trying to go about their business though.

If you’re mad that you’re not allowed to go anywhere anymore, hire a babysitter to take the break you’re imposing onto everyone else or maybe consider that next time before you bring a being who won’t learn to sit still and stop screaming for everything the want and need for years to come into the world.

You chose to be a parent, goddamn act like it.

Yeah no you brought that shit on yourself.

• First of all, trans women actually show lower T levels than cis women because they’re literally taking medicine that blocks its production, and yes, cis women do produce testosterone too, just not from testicles. So whatever nonse you think you’re able to clock trans women with, you’re probably accusing cis women and being a real douche about it too.

• Second, dead naming is genuinely just a dick thing to do even outside the presence of the person in question, because you’re fundamentally saying that you care so little for someone that you’re not even going to respect their preferred form of being addressed, which like, why would ya go out of your way to be that asshole. You’re being that guy who insists on calling Tim Timothy all the time, why would you be doing that except to get under Tim’s skin? Stop being that guy and just call him Tim like a normal person who doesn’t need to have basic manners and zero effort good human behavior explained to them.

• Third, so you’re admitting outright you broke community rules and are still thinking the post in question being removed is unfair? I’m not normally a fan of powermodding but bro that’s not an excuse to be mad that you faced consequences for breaking the rules in broad daylight.

Is that supposed to be steve banon in the bottom right?

Also, cringe for using the quadrants, their actual usefulness as a political descriptor has been long discredited.

Nah, Jefferson was the one who was looking west super hungrylike.

He just said a lot of pretty words about presidential light touch because it would make it less likely a president would interfere with him being a slave oligarch on top of being an imperialist.

Parrots Russian troll narrative

Gets called Russian troll

Shocked Pikachu face

I’m not the one alleging a mass conspiracy to secretly hold back platformed legislation while appearing to support it.

You mean that super majority that lasted only long enough to get the Affordable Care Act done and even then only after like ten Joe Manchins had to be appeased first?

The dems have had all three branches for maybe ten percent of all that time since the 90s and even then only barely.

This would not be a problem if y’all spent half the energy turning out that you do complaining about what happened because everyone else did.
