And you were really, really, really fucking wrong. Wrong in such a way that the net effect has been that you worked to prevent a real conversation about what was happening.
Yes. I was really fucking wrong.
I made a call with imperfect information, and I made the wrong one. Fuck, I’m still making a call with imperfect information. I might be wrong now for all I fucking know. All I can do is go forward with all my energy with what I believe to be the correct course of action.
You want me to say that my judgement was subpar in regarding which sources to trust and how to weigh them? That’s fair, I won’t argue against that, clearly I fucked up. But “You were vocal in the need for unity behind one candidate in a FPTP system, and the one with no real challengers in his party’s primary is our only choice” is not one I will apologize for.
Can you also try to help pull people out of the cult-like thinking that has built up around Blue Maga?
I wouldn’t call it Blue MAGA, and I find the term stupid. They’re operating on inertia, like I was - it’s not a cult-like worship of Biden. It’s just the belief that he was the best shot.
But yes. I intend on arguing forcefully towards pro-Biden commenters on the need to change candidates now that Biden has lost the unity that an incumbent is supposed to give, especially one who ran in his primary without any major challengers. We’ve fucked up and now we have to unfuck this mess, fast.
Thank you. Its only by pointing out their denialism around material reality one by one, and fuck its been exhausting work.
