    He can do anything he wants and still gets the pass.

    He gets a pass because he wants the same things and they like the things he does. The fact that they’re getting their faces eaten by leopards is a price they’re willing to pay, because ultimately what they want is to hurt people. It’s grievance politics, their political dreams only revolve around revenge.

    Democrats want different things. If Democrats had a candidate that wanted the same stuff as the base and did stuff the base liked, they’d be popular too.

    And what did the Party do?

    They sabotaged their only popular candidate in the 2016 and 2020 primaries, and Democrats were forced to vote for a candidate they didn’t like to stop the Republican. It worked in 2020 because of COVID, but without a national crisis it’s not possible for Democrats to win this way.

    It’s the Party’s fault. Place blame where it belongs.

    And we would have had the leverage after the election to make change.

    Y’all said the same shit about Biden in 2020 and it wasn’t true. They already got our votes. All of our leverage was gone.

    Once they win they can tell us to pound sand.

    The time to hunker down and prepare for the worst while waiting for it all to drop in here.

    So your plan is to wait around and do nothing.

    The usual plan, then. That’s all you ever do.
