Trump got into office in 2016 because no matter what Republican was put up there it was pretty likely that they’d be elected.
If we’re going to hold our political representatives to a higher standard, why don’t we start with the party nominating people who attempted to overthrow the government for president?
Why is it always that every couple of election cycles we have this hand wringing bullshit that helps Republicans get back into the white house?
I genuinely don’t understand the “leftists” in this country who vanish every four or eight years, and then get engaged in the political process again after four or eight years of a Republican predictably not giving a single shit about any of their thoughts at all. I get not wanting to endorse US involvement in Gaza, but the only viable alternative will pay no mind to not only mowing down civilians in Gaza, but his political opposition here in the US as well.
Outside of all of the political issues of the day, the vanishing left who is unreliable at voting has done a number on climate change policy over the decades which they seem to pretend matters only every second or third election cycle.
Republican voters reliably hold their nose and vote to the point where they keep white house control even with the worst possible walking obscenities as candidates. But God forbid a leftist take twenty minutes out of their day and vote for someone who isn’t 100% aligned with their politics.
The right wing plays the long game while the left wing pisses and moans about politicians being politicians and doesn’t reliably show up to vote, and in the end we all lose.
Man, if only there was some kind of like, party representative, whose job is to be the face of the party and their policies in order to motivate people to vote for that party. Oh well, might as well cry about Trump a million times over instead of thinking about how the party could improve it’s own odds of getting elected.
I’m used to the left in this country being a bunch of ineffectual whiny losers awaiting their pie in the sky candidate while some vile Republican monstrosity wins a term in the oval office by promising to fart on every Mexican puppy or whatever.
Yeah I voted for a better one when they had an actual primary in 2020. It turns out that primary is over.
All the “leftists” must’ve sat that one out (as they often do because they’re whiny babies that don’t reliably participate in the political process yet want all of their dreams to come true), because they always tell me that we’re an overwhelmingly progressive country yet they lost to Biden. 🤷

If Republicans wins, doesn’t that make you a “ineffectual whiny loser” too?
Nah, I don’t pretend every 4-8 years to be some awesome “leftist” organizer that’s going to take down capitalism.
You don’t need to if you just want better options for your presidential candidates.
