    And ideological purity was more important to a bunch of idiots than preventing a fascist who wants to ethnically cleanse Gaza from taking over the US government.

      Are we really going to blame voters conflicted about genocide and not the party that chose to make it the main point of their platform?

      They are the “good guys”. I voted for them but I shouldn’t feel ashamed doing so. I expect more from them then Trump lite. They should be held accountable for the shit show they caused.

        And we have to be downvoted by these people who are <checks notes> advocating for these politicians that continue to fail to lead.

        And for anyone who wonders: I fucking voted for the lesser evil. Fuck off with your holier-than-thou bullshit attitude that does nothing to attract exactly the voters we want: people with conscience.
