  Except that they’ve spent the last 6 months telling everyone that it’s a choice between them and fascism. Then when fascism comes they’re like “oh well, we tried”.

  I’m just hoping that this loss will eventually make the Dems look inward, but I’m not holding my breath when he’s saying shit like this.

    I remember everyone saying the exact same in 2016. “Maybe Dems will reflect.” Other than putting up a white man for 2020, I can’t see a single difference in their approach ever since.

    Very valid point, just goes to show the hyperbolic shit flinging that is the core of American politics.

    The Democrats had 4 years to do something about it and didn’t. “Vote for us or else” is not a long term strategy, all it takes is losing one or two elections.
