They’re still going to scream absurdities like “Biden HAD it” and “Josh Shapiro=charisma and would have delivered 6 states and his own!” Blue MAGA is as much a cult as OG flavor MAGA. The voters they offered nothing to left of Dick Cheney will be blamed, not a paid DNC establishment (who are also PR execs who make a cut on ineffective ad spends coincidentally) versus voters who failed their moral obligation to vote for assholes who can’t be bothered to pander even.

I feel like Occam’s razor points to a DNC that hates voters, as exemplified by your comment and there not being a fair DNC primary to actually select the most popular candidate for 8 years, and voters responding in kind.

Blinken and McGurk were egging Netanyahu along this whole time while lying to us about trying to constrain him and would have remained in Kamala’s administration and capitulated just as much as Trump, if not more so, with Liz Cheney as secretary of defense.

I’d argue it’s a bad career path overall. You will get laid off working as a dev, it’s just how it works, and if you haven’t managed a 10+ headcount by your mid 30’s you will find yourself facing ever escalating ageism 35 on as an old man dev. It’s not a field that generally professionally rewards experience beyond 5-ish years.

Pour one out for random regional parties with anachronistic ballot access who put their third party faith in that… idk what to even call RFK Jr… a quixotic bon vivant, who takes roadkill to steak houses? A recovered addict who won’t admit his habit fucked his voice up and not a flu vaccine? Rich kid is perhaps most apt.

“Neolib punches self in balls” seems to be a recurring theme in the West these days…

Allow no legitimate democratic primaries for eight years because orange man bad and must be defeated above all, win orange man prizes.

It’s 100% on the DNC for using all its presidential energy fighting the true enemy – actual democratic primary elections – for eight years while Trump built a winning coalition that would have been available to a party that has primaries and picks the most popular candidate.

Have you ever considered that it’s the paid staff of the DNC’s job, which they are paid for, to convince voters to vote dem, not voters’ job to vote for Liz Cheney to become secretary of defense while Anthony Blinken bathes in the blood of the children he slaughters and keeps his job?

The DNC just becomes a permanent minority party until it becomes silly enough for donors to fund it they lose the ability to hold back alternative parties and then they go the way of the Whigs. But I think that’s going to take like 16+ years best case. The GOP was just a permanent minority party for like 20 years last century without collapsing.

Use FOSS on non-intel hardware and use tor. Your physical life is just gonna be kind of tracked because if you live in a walkable city, you’re on camera the whole time you’re out and modern cars phone home EVERYTHING if you don’t live in a walkable city. I guess you can buy a 1997 Honda Accord to get around that but on an infinite timeframe the cost of maintaining a pre-panopticon vehicle will only go up…

💯 but I don’t think the post-Obama DNC cares about winning. They want to be cool to a certain set of DC ghouls, win or lose.

They don’t care about winning. They care about being cool at the right DC cocktail parties,which they have achieved by extracting their own base from the party in favor of a war criminal who left office with 13% approval.

A party more concerned with defeating the hippies than their actual political opponents deserves to lose, and as we have seen now, will. The DNC is a waste of effort. Not to promote the Greens, they’re an asylum where the inmates have taken over and Jill Stein is too smug to win a PTA vote, much less the presidency. We need an American Labor party that actually wants to win more than make friends in the beltway.

Liz Cheney won’t be secretary of defense and Anthony Blinken will be out of work and ideally sent to Gitmo.

A party that offers nothing except the other party’s policies but 5% less racist/misogynist/homophobic deserves to hemorrhage voters and lose. When the DNC’s sole goal is defeating their pre-Biden base, they shouldn’t be surprised when nobody is a dem anymore.

This cycle the DNC, for the first time, could get the upwardly mobile suburbanite Reagan voters they’ve been salivating over my whole life. They don’t care about winning, they’re just happy that hippies don’t vote for them anymore while Cheneys do. The DNC is not a political party now, it’s a North Virginia cocktail party.

The DNC has achieved their actual goal of defeating Bernie Sanders and maximizing dead Arab children. They’ve never cared THAT much about beating Trump.
