    Well if people had done that instead of whining about “bLueMaGa” we wouldn’t be dealing with an upcoming Drump presidency.

    In all likelihood, with yet another loss, MAGA would have fallen apart and Trump would be a fading memory rn.

    But no, now there’s a chance voting either won’t exist or won’t matter in 4 years and we’ll have to hear about el orango damn near everyday. Good job.

      This idea that this was the last election for the Democrats too was a losing argument.

      Thinking that the vote going the way you wanted would have just turned over a perfect world is lazy and unrealistic.

      Trump would not be a fading memory and is a direct symptom of the “keep going with the status quo” ignoring the issues policies we have had.

      A different performer would have taken his place and we would have to do it all again for people like you to pretend it would all be perfection as soon as we got the right centrist in to make everyone forget about their and the worlds issues.

      People complaining about the issues they face aren’t making them suddenly exist. People shutting up about your flaws don’t make them stop existing either. It just makes you even more ignorant to them.

      Optimistic for you to think Trump wouldn’t just try again in 4 years.

      Democrats were never going to meet this moment, they don’t have what it takes.

        Liberalism was always going to result in fascism. The Supreme Court was captured a long time ago. Social media is all right wing propaganda. They were ready to “Stop the Steal” again with violence.
