Vote shaming, attacking, and demanding people vote for YOUR candidate is a pretty counterintuitive way to display how important you think democracy is. It is a good way to become that which you hate.

It ranges from pretty terrifying to hilarious what a losing incumbent can now do with their lame duck period. Like giving a rich kid with a grudge 2 months of super powers.

Courts - VRA, Citizens United, immunity, Chevron. Dems - Stay the course. We must honor tradition or we risk fundamentally changing government

And the only way to change things is to vote followed almost immediately by mass a email campaign saying the same and asking for campaign donations.

What do we do about abortion? Vote. What about fascism? Vote. Regulation? Vote. Healthcare? Vote. Ok, great. So what will you do about it when you get into office? Tell you to donate and vote.

It would also be helpful and more reassuring to the electorate if the party that yells vote in response to awful thing did substantially more than continue to just demand votes once in office as the perpetual solution to everything.

I wonder how much schadenfreude is being enjoyed by people in other countries watching and thinking, "not so fun when you do it to yourself, huh?"

When I was around 14 I was a caddy at a very well known country club for just over a week. I left when I realized I would probably never be in a more bigoted place in my life. Almost 30 years later I've never touched a golf club again. I learned early.

Even wilder is that some of the same people shaming the left find a bad debate performance more disqualifying than slaughter and apartheid.

Kinda wild that the same people that called the Access Hollywood tape a disqualifying red line yell at the left for saying the other candidate's actions in Palestine are a red line. 2 very disparate issues except that much of our society has long been apathetic to approving of both behaviours.

I don't know why everyone is still mad at CNN just because Foxworthy more thoroughly and effectively moderated 5th graders on a game show.

Biden's approval rating is 36%. His current rate of success in presidential campaigns is 33%. But this is the "only candidate" that can beat trump.

I've had to have a day off in Grants Pass 3 times over the years. I was thankfully asked never to schedule one there again because it was too racist. Now we can add arresting people for being homeless to the reasons it's terrible.

Maybe they were confused since "racism is over", the government traffics foreign children with impunity, child labor laws are being decimated, and they didn't know they had to register as a prison to have legal slavery.

Completely inarguable point. Disaffected republicans are the dems most openly coveted demographic with an almost disturbing lust, while anyone to the left is just a roadblock met with nearly more disdain than maga.

I feel no envy when I see those places. I'm happy with my spot that hadn't been lived in since the 50's til I moved in 10 yrs ago. It still has appliances from the 40's and 50's. BUT, I am jealous of good insulation and windows.

One nice thing about our slow to evolve and dysfunctional government when it comes to its violent foreign policy is that the propaganda and coup attempts seem to be getting less effective.
