I was gonna title this “And here I sit so patiently waiting to find out what price you have to pay to get out of going through all these things twice” and then write “Stuck inside of America with the fascism blues again” here, but I’m not sure if that comes off like gloating and that’s honestly the last thing I want to do this morning.

    I don’t think that you can lay this disaster at the feet of Liz Cheney and a few other star Republicans. That is pretty lazy thinking, and suits a particular progressive viewpoint. This election is going to take years to figure out.

    Cue the instant hot takes as to how the orange man climbed the hill he was already sitting on.

      Dick Cheney is incredibly unpopular across the board in America. Having him endorse your campaign is asking to lose

        She should’ve rejected his endorsement the same way Jill Stein rejected the endorsement of David Duke. The fact that Harris accepted the endorsement of Dick Cheney and Richard Spencer is nuts.

        Anyone who backs away and let’s Trump take charge just because Cheney also wants Trump gone is a fucking idiot.

          The majority of the voters are fucking idiots. What now? Do you just admit defeat or try a different way to reach the fucking idiots?

            That I don’t know? Seriously, how do you back up once you’ve gone over the cliff?

              So you’re admitting defeat because you can’t imagine an actual progressive populist candidate that appeals to the things people care about (basically obama '08)

                A lot of things have changed since 08, or haven’t you been paying attention?

                Am i giving up? This war between the states has been going since 1861. With the exception of brief periods of lucidity, now and again, what has fundamentally changed?

                Anyway, I’m not trying to talk anybody out of anything. Go at it. Make it work if you have the secret. Meet me back here in 2028 for a chat, if we both survive.
