Comment on If the democrats executed the same fake electors scheme trump tried to execute, wouldn't Republican opposition be admission of trumps guilt?

  What the fuck do you care what happens yo the dems? They don’t give a shit about you.

    Because I’m a functional literate adult and they are the best chance of making things better in America?

    Throwing a temper tantrum in Congress isn’t going to help.

    Voting in the primaries and moving the party to where you want it to be, does help!

    And I’m mature enough to realize that not everyone will agree with my politics, so I’ll probably vote the farthest Left that I think can win their race, so as to not help Republicans.

    This shit matters. While I’ll be fine pretty much no matter what, not everyone is so lucky. So, as a person with empathy, it’s important to think about what will help versus what is some stupid shit that would make me giggle but would be zero help (like your proposed electors nonsense.)

      You’re not adult, you’re throwing a tantrum. You need to accept this loss was a complete loss. There’s not going to be a righteous come back. Grow the fuck up. They are a sunk cost and I pray 🙏 for you when you come to this realization. You seem to need them.

        Kid, I get it feels like that. I remember being young and super upset about elections and thinking similarly but in retrospect, that was probably just the emotional rollercoaster of being a young teen and hey, I get you, that’s difficult. Especially with the world even worse now.

        But, losing 51 to 49% in a time when almost every incumbent government has suffered shattering losses isn’t all that ridiculous, unexpected or an ominous harbinger of unavoidable doom. Deciding that it is such and making the only viable opposition party look even dumber though, well, that helps trump for next term.

        Yes, trump will do a lot of damage. But, things can and hopefully will, get better. Remember, he was elected in 2016 and what happened the very next election?

        I’d strongly suggest reading more about the world. It’s boring at first but it’ll give you perspective, context and understanding. (Or at least learn what a sunk cost is.)
