    Man… come 2028 I don’t want to hear shit from Democratic candidates that doesn’t involve an exhaustive list of all the awful shit Trump did and what steps they will take to undo all of it. Sorry chum, you picked a bad time to run so you don’t get to have an agenda that isn’t ‘pulling Trump’s dick out of this country’s ass because it’s fucked enough already.’ Cause if you’re not willing to undo this shit I really don’t care what else you have to say.

    (Yeah, bring on the downvotes, I can take the heat.)

      Prepare to be disappointed.

      “Preventing Trump from doing exactly what he’s now doing” was somehow not a good enough reason for Americans to vote for the brown lady. Or the white lady, for that matter.

        It’s the Democratic Party, if you don’t go into it already prepared to be disappointed you haven’t been paying attention. :P

        And I’m not talking about whether not they win, I’m saying their campaigns should consist solely of ‘here’s a list of things Trump fucked and that I am going to unfuck.’

        Hillary won the popular vote that time it was the electoral system that fucked her. And the fact that she did not understand what she was up against. I think Harris and Biden both had that issue too. The biggest problem in dealing with trump is that there is no way to outthink something that doesn’t think. The dems can talk all the strategy, all the policy and reach out to anyone they want, but it doesn’t mater because the people on the other side have already made up their minds years ago.

      Look, I’m going to be honest, if a Progressive or Democrat on the campaign trail says they would use all of the powers granted to trump against all Republicans in a goose and gander situation, they’d have my vote.

        “All billionaires will be summarily executed and their assets will be distributed to the citizenry, and the Heritage Foundation will be declared a terrorist organization, and all current and past leaders, funders, employees, and judges endorsed by them will be immediately sent to a prison camp in El Salvador” seems like a winning message.

        And anything the president wants only needs an executive order, it seems, so it should be pretty easy to implement.

        I’m not about revenge, I’m about making the world a better place for everyone, even the people who want to make it a worse place.

          Good for you. I am and I also think using the powers Trump has been given effectively would make the entire world a better place.

            Do you think that will make it better or worse? Cause you know it’s going to swing back the other way at some point, and as aggro as they already are toward the left, can you imagine how they will react when they have legitimate reasons to think they’re being targeted?

              Well I suppose between using the DOJ to prosecute “criminals”, prevent Republican firms from practicing law in federal courts, arresting Republican judges including the SC, and following through with Trump’s “homegrows” plan, I guess I’m not seeing a problem.

              But I’d settle for taxing the living fuck out of conservative churches and other non-profits that violate not staying out of politics.

              For now.

                It smacks of accelerationism. ‘Fuck with those who fucked with us’ just results in a whole lot of people getting fucked, only substitute targeted, arrested, renditioned, etc for ‘fucked’.

                But I’d settle for taxing the living fuck out of conservative churches and other non-profits that violate not staying out of politics.

                Fuckin’ same.

      Well then I hope I can have your vote, because my platform will be to use the sweeping new executive powers carved out by the current administration to throw every member of said administration along with every employee of ICE ERO into the “unextraditable foreign gulag detention” black hole, and only then work with Congress and the courts to make that impossible again.

        Nah I’m not down with that. Prosecute them with proper due process, remove everyone’s ability to do what you suggest, and unfuck all the things Trump fucked and you’ll have my vote.
