So, the democratic party decided to get some new blood into the party by making David Hogg, a gen Zer a new vice chair. He didn't last long. Turns out one of the first things he did was say that we needed new people in the party to primary do nothing democrats who just wanna sit there and be worthless. And he got fired for it. The democrats claim this is because they want impartiality, but where was this impartiality in 2016 and 2020. Sure, they claim impartiality on paper, but we all know the party is anything but impartial. They are basically like a country club that defends their insiders against outsiders looking to come in and take them over. And that's...why they suck in the modern era. They're stuck in the 1990s and full of geriatrics who don't wanna do anything,
WAKE UP DEMOCRATS, NO ONE LIKES YOU. Seriously, for all the crap I've gotten over the past decade, I feel vindicated since harris lost, actually. Trump sucks, but people are really starting to realize the dems are useless and they need to actually fight the GOP. How DO we lose to a convicted felon? Well that happens when you have this crappy brand no one likes.
And since trump won, a lot of dems have learned the wrong lesson. Like I'll surf not even politics subs but gaming subs and given the tariffs impacting the hobby I see a lot of self righteous idiots going on about how if you didnt vote for harris you're part of the problem.
If you shame people for not voting for harris, youre probably part of the problem. because that voter shaming is toxic. I mean I'm a leftie myself, but when the dems start talking like this, it literally does make me wanna not vote for them out of spite, similar to what I did in 2016 and 2020. I aint gonna go down that road now, not long as we got a fascist in power, but you know what? Im one vote out of like 150 million who vote. For all the voter shaming, my vote doesnt mean crap in the grand scheme of things. Votes matter, but no single vote matters, it's trends, and if the dems can't figure out how to crack the trends to win election, well that's their fault, and blaming the voters is pointless.
And really, we need to have a serious talk about something else too. And that's Biden. There's been a lot of talk with him recently. Going on the view, delusionally claiming he can still win, but the big thing seems to be the whole cover up of his aging, and him deciding to run for his disastrous 2024 run. Or, heck, if you go by this, even his 2020 run.
It incenses me. We could've had bernie in 2020. We could've had bernie in 2016. They ratscrewed him in 2016 for Clinton and when it looked like he would run away with it in 2020 the party organized against him..and around Biden. And the dude wasn't quite right BACK THEN.
And then in 2024, they didnt even bother having a primary. I mean, they did, but they put SC first, blacklisted anyone who ran against biden, basically running dean phillips out of politics because "it wasn't his turn" and then touted like 90% of people voting for Biden when there wasn't even a real opposition. People like Cenk Uygur from TYT were calling out his obvious decline and ran against him despite not even being technically eligible. And yeah. The rest is history.
And if you were like me, or anyone else critical of the dems, the party would be like DO YOU WANT TRUMP TO WIN? FALL IN LINE! BIDEN IS SOOOO POPULAR BLAH BLAH BLAH YOU STUPID IDIOT! And yeah.
Look, I admit I kinda did fall in line behind biden in 2024. I did it because...well...you know what Trump is doing now and how much worse he was than term 1 and how he has no checks and balances? I knew this was coming. And I saw the polling, and no clear alternative at the time because, hey, guess what, they ratscrewed progressives out of politics, so...we were stuck with him. I did the only move I could have. I even said at this time, this was just me being pragmatic. He wasn't everything I wanted, i called him saltine crackers and floater water in a desert. Ya know, disgusting but at least it wont kill ya. But yeah...that's why I did it. It wasn't that I liked Biden, it was that I hated trump and knew he would be far more dangerous this second time around. Also, Biden wasn't that bad. he wasnt great, but he wasn't terrible.
But yeah. If you want me real views on him, well, either listen to me in 2020 or 2021, or now. I didnt really like the guy. He was okay, but only okay. He wasnt terrible, he would get us through another 4 years, but yeah, he sucked. I didnt really want him. It's just that the dems killed their bench so they didn't have an alternative. And that's the real original sin. Biden never should've run in the first place. Neither in 2020 and 2024. In 2024, they should've had biden step aside earlier so we could have a real primary, although to be fair that wasnt enough, because the dems would just push harris or buttigieg or greasy gavin on us anyway. Like, they have a brand, they're all clones of each other, and you cant just replace old senile guy with younger guy or girl with the same politics and win. Trust me, we did it, with harris.
And yeah, as the article i posted above pointed out, harris was hamstrung by the party's expectations to continue the biden brand, not to mention all the third way DNC consultants in the background obsessed with moderate suburbanites who thought abandoning the public option and campaigning with liz cheney was a good idea.
And then in 2020. They killed real genuine grassroots energy around bernie to shove biden down our throats and then covid forced our hands. To be fair, covid was another element in this. To be fair, we couldnt do anything about that, and that was gonna be bad for us no matter what. Had bernie won, republicans would've eaten him for breakfast given the inflation that happened regardless of who was at fault. Which is...another reason why i defended biden. It was a strategic move to protect the dems from republican attacks. I really did suspect that 2024 could be an ideological victory for the GOP for the next generation. And while some are framing it that way, assuming this isn't the end of american democracy altogether, uh...i dont think it will be. Trump is screwing up SO BAD I think the dems do have a shot in 2028. But they won't have a shot unless they change.
Even now, democrats still suffer worse approval than republicans. I mean how bad do you have to F up to be worse than a literal fascist dictator who is actively destroying this country? it's baffling. Well...until the dems open their mouths, condescend to voters, roll over and play dead, and seem to do everything possible than the thing they should've done 10 years ago. Seriously, bernie and AOC are filling stadiums. Bernie is trying to rebuild the bench of progressive candidates right now. They're the real leaders of the party. But the establishment shrugs them off, and then they continue their hugbox of uselessness.
Pathetic. Do better, democrats. Do better. You lost in 2016, you barely won in 2020, you lost in 2024, it's embarrassing. Trump never should've gotten as big as he is. It literally only happened because of democratic incompetence, and even complicity.in raising his profile to make clinton more palatable to an electorate who DIDNT WANT HER. Seriously, do we really forget about that? Holy crap. We are so cooked. The dems doomed us all. And that's why we hate them. Rather than do the right thing, they've done everything but. They elevated trump to make clinton look comparatively popular. They forced biden on us despite him being an increasingly senile old man. They forced him on us a second time. And now, when the dems get new blood into the party, and the new blood says what has been obvious all along, they fire him, because they wanna keep doing THE SAME FRICKING THING!
F this party, guys, F this party. I hate trump, but MAN democrats make it hard for us to support them. They really do. It's like they WANNA lose. At the very least they dont care about winning. They'd rather lose to trump than lose to the left. And that's the sad thing. They'd rather the country descend into fascism, than cede power to a new generation of progressives. And that's why the country hates them.
