    I see Democrats are taking a page from the Pick Up Artists’ handbook and using vote negging now.

      You might need to go ahead and join the dots on that one, champ.

        They went from vote begging, to vote negging. It’s when you berate someone to manipulate them.

          Pointing to the direct, incredibly predictable outcomes of someone’s actions is negging now? If you say so, champ.

            You know what’s also predictable. Giving voters what they need and demand, then winning elections when they vote for you. I know crazy huh? But sometimes trying to intimidate and berate them doesn’t get them to do what you want.

              Sure - you’d hope we’d have better option than “not openly fascist”, but we don’t. I agree - we should be fighting for better, but that’s for the other 1,458 days of the election cycle. Polling day is for keeping the fascists out of power to buy the time to win the fight for better.
