And at the end of it, the people who just wanted complicit silence from a fed up electorate will blame everyone who was unhappy.

Well, and a preemptive excuse for shutting out AOC.

What about that filibuster Democrats didn’t want to get rid of? Isn’t this why they said they were keeping it around?

Turns out no, it was just to block progressive legislation. I’ll be surprised if Democrats use it one time in the next four years.

Oh, they had him call in regularly during the Obama years to spout birtherism.

I mean, there are other explanations. Cowardice and incompetence being principal among them.

For some unfathomable reason

There was a lot of that going around in the Biden administation.

forward.com runs headline resembling simpering bootlicking cowardice.

Wonder what excuses the ADL is gonna make for him.

Yes, he is a member of the Republican Party.

ITT: people still making excuses for Biden/DeJoy.

Sorry they hate your shitty candidates. Get better ones.

This is why the neoliberal tendency to announce that any given neolib is the second coming of FDR always falls so flat. FDR welcomed the hatred of those that consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs.

Neoliberals regard such people with awe and reverence.

Which is the point.

Also, when you’re installed by the establishment, you’re not taking over anything.

Harris raised 50% more than Trump.

That just tells me she was paid to take a dive.

And Trump’s margin of victory wasn’t so large that we should just write off all women because Trump won against two women who allowed him to be the “change” candidate.

“Women can’t win” is an excuse to shut out AOC and nothing else.

I honestly don’t think it matters how great or not she is.

I honestly think that all the handwringing about a woman not being able to win is because the party hates AOC and everyone she stands for and will happily hold all women back to prevent her from being able to run.

The Green Party is tiny and has tinier primaries. It doesn’t have to be Stein.

She looks great, but is it worth risking more MAGA on America voting for a woman? A third time?

Questions no one would be asking if she were a corporate ghoul.

Then maybe they shouldn’t have run awful people.

The party pilloried Sanders in 2020 because he allegedly said the same thing to Warren. Now, since the party doesn’t want to run AOC because they hate anyone to the left of Dick Goddamned Cheney now, suddenly the electorate isn’t ready for a woman? Fuck that. Democratic voters no longer want yet another status quo military industrial corpodem.

Repeat yourself.
