This "big tent" strategy is an unimaginable failure, it's destroyed anything that remained of their ideological direction. Party is rudderless, powerless, and has totally alienated their voting base. At least the obama era had SOMETHING, a pitiful something, but something in terms of political aspiration. They're truly an empty husk now.

This feels way more cataclysmic to internal party structures then 2020 or 2016 IMO. The popular/electoral shitshow in 16 gave both parties a claim to popular support, and I think a lot of flack the GOP would have taken for 2020 was absorbed by covid. These results are the clearest admonishment of dem strategy I could ever imagine. I think it's pretty reasonable to assume they'll be a left/right wing reaction that may end in a new party forming, if not this election cycle- the next. If you'd allow me to out for a moment, I believe the next 4 years is a unique opportunity for he broad left to create a political institution that actually can gain the support to put up fights electorally. I'm not a reformist, but IDK if commies should dismiss chances like this to build working class organization, even if distasteful.

Am I overreacting to think that this election has the capacity to torpedo the democratic party? They're in full tilt, I already see some people taking advantage and attempting some political maneuvering.

winter hat/gloves, if you're in that kind of climate

i took one last night and it was NOT the move, should have stuck with alcohol because I was in LIBHELL

1. Really hard to run an attack campaign when you're the incumbent party. If your messaging is just "im a bit better than the other guy" people are just gonna point to the shit job you're doing right now. Historical levels of unpopularity is real hard to come back from, bush needed 9/11.
2. The whole Biden debacle was disastrous, probably ended any chance of scooping up the moderate vote they were desperately pining for.
3. Gaza, immigration, and generally running to the right put a bullet in any chance of bringing this campaign back. They tried really desperately with the weed stuff at the last minute, but the damage was done.
4. Democratic party reeks of putrescene

happy that liberals are going to be able to cosplay as revolutionaries while dragging down all organizing efforts again

high chance there will be an standoff between the national guard and a bunch of nazi seed-oil guys, but I think the possibilities are endless

hate to see liberals happy, but honestly sort of rooting for harris so I can see what kind of wacky hijinks the trump gang will get to this time around

I know liberals always suck and stuff but I'm actually shocked at how bad it is right now. They heard the word "terrorist" once and all turned into bush-era neocons overnight, they're absolutely frothing at the mouth its horrifying. Did we not make ANY societal progress since 9/11? The iraq war? DOES NO ONE REMEMBER ANY OF THIS SHIT IT HASN'T BEEN LONG.

2016 broke her brain politically and literally everything is trump's fault. It's mostly harmless so I don't really argue. She also has had an insane, almost religious, hatred towards republicans since the late 90's so I gotta give her props for that at least.

I've joked that the democrats would have to literally commit genocide to lose her support but I'm sure she'll mental gymnastics her way into forgetting all of this by the next election cycle

Extreme lib mother told me none of this would have happened if trump wasn't "trading state secrets with iran" but she is horrified by what israel is doing in gaza so there's that at least

has anyone else noticed the proliferation on AI generated content ALL OVER the internet the last couple of months. I'm not even talking about dalle images or anything like that, just simple text is AI generated EVERY FUCKING WHERE. I was trying to google a simple car repair last week, at least half of the search results were AI articles with some generic car advise and ended with trying to sell me some bullshit. You can't even do the "add reddit at the end" trick anymore for any product recommendations because there are so many bots in the comments

wrestler and forum moderator traumatized by acab, not because of any real life attachment to a police officer or a past incident of crime, but because they have an insane obsession with a bunny cop character from a 2016 children's movie

this has to be an elaborate bit

Turns out a COLD SORE is different then a CANKER SORE and you're not supposed to rub campho phenique in your mouth. If I die please tell everyone I was poisoned by my enemies.

Starfield taste so good when u ain’t got a gamer in ya ear telling you it’s disappointing

season 3 lays out the most compelling arguement i've seen that the US committed a genocide in north korea. WTF would they be concealing? actual lizard people?
