    Just logging in to say you’re completely right and don’t let the near perfect split up-to-downvote ratio convince you otherwise, given the sample size of people on here that you’ve directly accused. They felt personally attacked and refused the completely valid criticism.

    The reason conservatives clear elections again and again?

    Conservatives. Stick. Together.

    There is no solidarity amongst the left and never has been, which is why everyone is currently in the dystopian present. It was a sequence of events, not one random candidate (who already did a 4-year term before btw with far less damage). The “left” had every chance to stop this. Decades and decades, in fact. But when push came to shove, they decided a democratic black woman wasn’t as good as a dogwhistling fascist. Ta da.

    Enjoy patting yourselves on the back while your dictator takes away everything you love. Maybe this is actually the only way left for the collective ego death necessary to progress society.

      This past election showed the split on the left, particularly with a large group of leftists who want no allies and reject any imperfect ally and treat them as the enemy. If you’re even slightly right, or even left of someone they will lump you in with the MAGA pile for daring to dissent. These people rejected allies so hard, that they stepped aside and let trump win rather than vote in the old white man educated black woman.

      Sadly this past election is also the first time I experienced blatant racism from the left, towards anyone they disagreed with. It got ugly, and the American left showed that they’re really the other side to the same crazy American coin.

      I guess I can’t expect leftists born inside the belly of the beast to actually know how to behave like leftists and win.
