    Jesus Christ, you’ll twist yourself in knots to make everything the Democrats’ fault.

        The hell are you talking about? ICE is turning into the gestapo and that dude wants to blame Democrats for it.

        I really do wonder if at this point, progressive candidates might gain more traction by running as Republicans. The Republican party is not ideologically libertarian, and it has proven far more receptive to outsiders and new ideas than the Democratic party.

        Who’s your team?

          Cringe liberal cyber-stalker.

          All you’re doing is telling on yourself. You’re obsessed with teams. You hold no real values. You don’t believe in anything. Politics is just a sports game to you. And yes, I care about actually making meaningful improvement in people’s lives. If the DNC has the Democratic party locked down on permanent regressive mode, then progressives should seek all other options. If that means running third party, so be it. If that means trying to coopt and take over the Republican party, so be it. I care about outcomes. You care about sports teams.

            You’re obsessed with teams.

            From the guy trash talking liberals, specifically, by generalizing.

            I care about outcomes.

            You’re not very good at reaching them. Your opinions are infantile. You act like the world is black and white. Nuance is lost on you.

            You’re a troll who shit on Harris thinking trump would be delightful payback. Well, here you go. Oh and look you’re interested in the republiQans. I hope you’re really high.

              I never suggested Trump winning would be a good thing, or payback for anyone. And in my hypothetical, I was suggesting progressives might have a better time winning in a Republican primary than a Democratic one.

              What you’re saying is that you’re so myopically blinded by partisanship, that if someone like Bernie somehow won the Republican nomination, you would still vote for the Democrat out of team loyalty. Again, this is all just sports to you. You don’t believe in anything except the blue team winning.

                The blue team winning would have been a goddamned paradise compared to the fascist armageddon you can’t be arsed to help prevent, but sure. Those “progressives” have the winning argument. We’ve “progressed” all the way to WWIII and our own gestapo! Aces strategy guys! Top notch!

        A democratic candidate just got put in handcuffs because ICE is going all fascist and you’re somehow making it the Democrats’ fault. Fuck off with that.

        I haven’t forgiven anything in either of these comments. Try harder next time.

          Yes, because it’s all pointlessly performative. It’s like that stupid taco truck or those signs at the state of the union. Pointless performative crap.

          Democrats have forgotten how to actually use and exercise POWER. Republicans still remember how to use it. And this is why Democrats are losing.
