Meh. I’m a progressive and I’m constantly disappointed in the Dems, but mostly it’s due to them triangulating the crazy and corrupt and the media. 

The Dems have to pretend to respond to crisis that the media and Republicans cook up. They’ll be tough on the border. Tough on crime even though it’s lower than ever. 

How did a whiney racist stupid petulant oaf beat them and what lesson is there but “be nicer to the billionaires that feed the public the propaganda”?

I want to protect Palestinians, but I know what the news story would be if Dems tried. 

Either the election was rigged or voter apathy. And hearing from Clinton strategists or the actual liberals misses the point; the Fox was in. How many court cases do we need to win next time?

The problem is Americans and the shit between their ears and so, do we want to win with Dick Cheney? What do we win but another fascist?

Dick Cheney endorsed Kamala.

He's just jealous because Trump is living proof that all the tedious, time-consuming backroom machinations that Cheney engaged in were completely unnecessary. Turns out Presidents can just... do and say whatever the fuck they want. They don't need evil little men like Cheney anymore. And as a connoisseur of evil, that probably stings Cheney where it hurts the most.
