Oh for FUCKS SAKE. Even after defeating a objectively bad progressive, this moderate dumbass cannot help but keep on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by ignoring the people who will vote him in.

    Well, if you’re okay assuming that I’m a liberal because I understand the concept of not letting perfection be the enemy of the good, why is it not okay to consider you a Republican when you’re basically arguing that we should let them win?

      It’s never been about perfection, it’s about having standards and calling out bad when bad is happening and refusing to support those ignoring the bad stuff.

        Ah, I see. Do those standards apply to themselves? Like if your standards just lead to a worse outcome for everyone, is that a bad thing?

          It’s liberals with no standards that lead to worse outcomes. They don’t mind things like fascism if it’s coming from their team. Much the same way they were silent when Obama/Biden built cages for kids but were in an uproar when Trump used those cages for kids. When they cried about trump deportations while ignoring Biden deported more than trump and kept Trump’s border policies in place from his first term. They don’t care about the crime, only who’s committing it.

                No side is identical, and the only people that say they are, are the people that support the worse side.

                  You are right they are not identical, Democrats are on par with first term trump. After the next general they will be on par with second term trump

                    So we all agree that they’re the better of the two options, and you think it would be better not to vote for them?
