Why would I do that when it has nothing to do with anything I said?

Go find me evidence that Biden’s lifelong record of fascism, bigotry, support for war, and Reaganomics had an impact on his primary votes.

That’s not what I’m calling bullshit. I’m calling the class bullshit (because it is) and also the bullshit conclusion made by the bullshitter.

Ah, it’s “I did some bullshit research for a bullshitting class and could find no data that supported my thesis, from this I can conclude my own theories as correct.”

Nobody was saying not to talk about politics at his funeral

What’s the difference between professional wrestling and our political system?

As far as I can tell it’s that wrestlers don’t murder the audience so their companies profit.

Is that actually true or do you just want it to be true?

Exactly.

The autopsy is feedback from the people who organized on the ground, not analysis by the people who ran the campaign or set the agenda.

That’s why the people who ran the campaign and set the agenda buried the report. It makes them look incompetent. Because they are.

When you tell people to fuck off, you don’t get to complain and be immaturely petulant when they fuck off.

The way out of the technocratic policy debate cycle is to solve problems, not manage symptoms while the problems get worse.

Surely you’ve got evidence to support that right?

The way she campaigned, she could have been the candidate from the jump and had she used the same strategy and policies she loses exactly the same way.

Literally all she had to do was break from Biden on a few key policies, promise accountability rather than compromise. Instead we got Dick Cheney.

Except that is managing a single symptom of the crisis and the percentage of people helped by that is minimal compared to the amount of people affected by the big picture problem. Just like with the ACA, helping 10% while doing nothing to help 90% is not going to be popular.

No she didn’t, that’s the biggest reason why she lost.

And yet we still have essentially Republicans like Neal, Lynch, and Auchincloss.

As a candidate for president that’s literally the only job. Persuade people to vote for you.

He literally had to drop out of the 2026 race because he had no path to victory. Because he was historically unpopular.

Look, I’m not disputing that you can read and write. I’m saying you don’t understand how to properly interpret and understand the sentences you read.

And that you admit you hear that evaluation a lot, that means you should probably take it seriously because it’s a trend for you.

I’m very clearly blaming Democrats for their failures.

I’m not defending Republicans at all, and if you had any integrity or intelligence you would understand that.

What I am doing is explaining to you why your blind partisanship is detrimental and you can’t accept it so you continue to prove me right instead.

I’m not cool with Trump. I think Democrats should offer better than Trump and they should have prosecuted him instead of continuing his worst policies. Same as when they did the same after W. And Reagan.

When only one party produces vision and policy, that party wins. Learn the lesson.

This is why you lose. Fucking loser.

Expand the court. Fight back. He had many options and chose to do nothing. Why would you defend inaction? Hell you flat denied that we lost rights at all.

Ultimately you don’t care about anything, you’re just upset that reality makes your party look bad. Maybe fix that instead of whining at me.

Do you understand the fact that you’re using the Depression as a measurement to try to make Bidenomics look good is actually proof that Bidenomics was a miserable failure?
