As I recently said to a friend: “I fucking hate being right.”

And he said “I fucking hate you being right.”

(he was never in disagreement, he just still had a sliver of hope)

    Bad campaign or not, everyone is in the same shit boat because some people chose this election to refuse to pinch their nose and vote for the Democrats.

      In many ways Dems were as bad as Trump this election. If they weren’t so greedy in their push rightward, they could’ve kept up the lesser evil schtick for at least a couple more elections.

      Unfortunately they decided to run a campaign further to the right than bush jr, exposing their whole ass in the process.

        Dems are more of the same, maybe a little better depending. Republicans are downright evil. Not sure how you can justify saying “Dems were as bad as Trump”

        And people still decided that Nazis were better than a pretty average option so they would rather not vote at all so they could convince themselves it wasn’t their fault if the Gestapo comes knocking at their door in a few months.

          “Um, actually, sweatie, things CAN’T get any worse than they are now” was my ‘favorite’ line from those folk.

          Congrats, you’re feeling what others have felt for the past 50 years. Hopefully this means you’ll finally fucking abandon the status quo that has kept you incredibly privileged and safe compared to your fellow Americans.

          I’m sorry you’re mad you can’t profit off the oppression of others and you might have to do work for the first time in your life.
