    They're just trying to fucking lose. They see the writing on the wall and would rather have fascists win than even give the "progressives" a shot. This is the Democrats burning their political bridges as the geriatrics age out because they don't want to hand any power at all over to new generations.

      They’re just trying to fucking lose.

    I have to say that the dems going with "Vote blue no matter how much we suck!" surprises me. I thought they'd be far more subtle in their efforts to fail.

      Vote blue or we will yell at you online has lost its bite, too.

      Damn, I know Biden said Hispanics weren't part of his path to victory, but I didn't expect that to mean him actively trying to piss them off.

      Going into a state with staggeringly high rates of medical debt, college debt, homelessness, and imprisonment to give millions of dollars to the local media cartel of far-right psychos, so you can tell your audience that Republicans Are Worse.
