I can see this is going nowhere.
We really are fucked, aren't we? Y'all are definitely more in tune with the mood of most of the Party leadership right now, D and R. But why you can't see that it isn't working baffles me. These goons are destroying the government department by department, and have no true loyalty to either party or any constituency. But they tell you to attack your neighbors instead of them, to blame the victims instead of the abusers, and you glibly smile and go along with it. Sure, blame the Arabs, blame the Blacks, blame Appalachia, blame suburban moms, blame college kids, whatever. Collective responsibility, what's that? It's everyone's fault but yours that our critical institutions are under attack.
Professional thieves are in your house, systematically stealing all your things, while you stare out the front window with a pair of cheap binoculars trying to catch Mrs. McGillicuddy across the street in the act of trampling your begonias.
Your recent posts simply aren't making a lot of sense. The Democrats aren't the problem just because you don't feel they are as liberal/progressive as you would like. Without the Democrats, there would never have been programs to help the poor, no civil rights for minorities and women and gay folks etc, no programs to help older adults survive, no gay marriage, no legal abortion etc. Sure, they've made plenty of mistakes, but guess what? Humans are a very nasty species. Sometimes even the best of us fuck up. Now, all of the progress we have made is under attack.
Nobody here is blaming any particular group of people. I think most of posters are simply frustrated with how some people voted, so they are trying to figure out why a minority would vote for an obvious racist who hates diversity. I am surprised that so many people voted for Trump, despite how obvious it was that he didn't give a shit about them, so yeah. He admitted he wanted to be a dictator and he started right out on the path. Yet, most of the MAGAs are still behind his heinous actions. I'm pretty annoyed at them, but I'm not blaming any one group of people for his victory. You seem to be blaming a lot of people yourself. Maybe you should look in the mirror before making such generalizations about others. Maybe you're also frustrated so you feel the need to attack others too. Ok. I get that, but you seem to be doing the same thing you're accusing others of doing.
I do get a bit annoyed at all the people who didn't vote because Harris wasn't far enough left or was too far left, or was a woman, or tried to reach out to the other side etc etc. Over the course of my lifetime, I've voted for plenty of people I wasn't crazy about because their opponent was much worse. But, I have always voted, even in small local elections, so don't blame those of us who did our best to try and keep the felon out of the WH. We who voted for a decent person who wan't a psychopathic convicted felon, at least did our duty as citizens. Because of those who didn't vote or who voted for the worst choice in my ever, we are all fucked.
