Democrats have all the spontaneity of the House of Windsor. Or, closer to home, they’re closer to what Republicans once were, a party that falls in line not in love.

    Oh, okay, I guess I should be fine when Trump’s goons march her into a camp then because the Democrats didn’t run a better candidate. My mistake.

      Right, direct that anger towards the real problem here. The Democratic Party, who sat by while it happens.

          Its in their nature. We cant throw our hands up and let them get away with it. I blame the adults in the room for letting the child run rough shod

        So I shouldn’t be angry at Trump and his people for doing it?

        Is this like being angry at Chamberlain for allowing Hitler to start WWII and ignoring the fact that Hitler started WWII.

          There is absolutely a historical case to be made that appeasement was a fatal error leading to the rise of Nazi Germany.

          We cant blame snakes for being snakes. What we need is some snake wranglers. We’ve had 4 years to prevent Trump and did nothing.

          We get what we deserve

              Considering we might literally lose our country to fascism, no it wasn’t good enough.

              The stakes are simply too high for failure, any amount, period.

              It feels like nobody is taking this seriously. You have the last poster and the very same breath talking about the death camps coming for their daughter, and even they don’t seem to be taking it seriously.

              It’s all about to crumble down and we’re not asking for what needs to be done to fix it.

              For God’s sake, I remember progressives accurately complaining about merrick garland when he was appointed telling Biden it was a very bad appointment.

                Me: “This Is like being angry at Chamberlain for allowing Hitler to start WWII and ignoring the fact that Hitler started WWII.”

                You: “There is absolutely a historical case to be made that appeasement was a fatal error leading to the rise of Nazi Germany.”

                Me: “There’s a historical case to be made that Hitler is blameless?”

                You: “Way to not at all read what I said.”

                Sure seems to me like you said Hitler is blameless when your comment is put in context.

                  Both can be to blame, my brother/sister.

                  Clearly, the implication is that one is obviously the substantially worse evil, but somebody has to stop them. What is your solution to stopping them?

                  You literally invoked your daughter here and somehow you don’t see the urgency here.

                  We have a problem. A big one. Who is supposed to stop it? Why havent they stopped it yet?

                    As far as I can tell, the solution is to get Biden elected whether you like him or not.

                    What’s your solution? It’s too late to primary him. Ross Perot and Ralph Nader showed that third party runs don’t work.
