    nominating the one former democrat who sided with republicans to stop the democrat agenda and then left the party would be incredibly funny

        I honestly think it might even be a bridge too far for a lot of Blue MAGA too, since he was their scapegoat in the media for so long. Hard to undo all that conditioning so quickly.

    Nah, I don't think this is representative of anything other than these two having a humiliation fetish. Democrats generally hate Manchin.

    There is some incredible, extraplanar well of pure, demented energy that only the most evolved neoliberals can tap into in order to reach levels of incorrectness that we can only dream of.

    The US' warlord era is going to be weird watching a bunch of feckless careerist politicians trying to convince their equally spineless constituents to form a militia rather than go to brunch, while a bunch of self-dicksucking grifters try to convince their rabid treat-addict civil war LARPer constituents to buy Bitcoin while trying to keep them from burning down half their own territory to own the libs.

    don't suggest such an intoxicating fantasy as every possible claimant being strangled or stuck in an oubliette sicko-wistful

    It scares me when people pretend these guys are not right wing.

    The sentient pile of smoldering coal might not be the best climate candidate but it's electable if you vote for it.

    Remember the clowncar of dems in 2020 before they aligned behind 4th placer Oldster Joey to ratfuck Bernie? They're back!

    He literally left the party, he was even used as an excuse for why Biden couldn't pass his agenda even with Dem majorities in the House and Senate.

    I've asked this before, but what is the point of having a party at all if you just let people fuck around and do their own shit all the time? Where is the party line, and who is even trying to keep members adherent to it?

    Making the guy cast as the sin-eater for Biden the nominee would be an astounding move. This will likely appeal to some dipship OPed writers and a handful of CEOs who want lower taxes but think Trump is uncouth.

    democrats love losing so much that they got one potential route for victory and are currently falling over themselves to squander it
