    Man… don’t take this language personally. It’s just the only way I know how to speak right now.

    In what fucking world do you think a more progressive candidate would’ve turned Michigan and Pennsylvania blue?

    Christ. I hope I’m fucking wrong. Because I do believe in a more progressive agenda. And I’m in Michigan. But this takeaway is absolutely fucking nuts to me.

    The last thing we need is for the hardcore blue states to be even bluer while the battleground states are all red.

    I don’t know, man. Explain your math to me. Because I can’t wrap my head around it. But I haven’t slept in like 36 hours, either, so maybe it’s just me.

      Harris lost Michigan by fewer votes than the number of people who voted “uncommitted” in the primary.

      I don’t think the lesson here is to be more moderate or more conservative.

        You know, uncommitted doesn’t really bother me. Had I bothered voting in the primary, I’d probably have voted uncommitted, too. Because I’m not really happy about the administration’s handling of the Israel-Gaza situation.

        But I damn sure voted for Kamala yesterday. I hope the Jill Stein voters feel really fucking smug about teaching Democrats a lesson when Trump tells Netanyahu to just push all the Muslims into the fucking ocean, and sells them the bulldozers to do it. I hope they all fucking cheer when they watch it livestreamed, Xclusively on X.

        Because I assume that’s what they wanted out of this election, and by gum, they fucking got it.

          I wonder if democrats feel good about supporting (leadership) or excusing (voters) genocide because they thought they had to to win, but lost anyway.
