Majorllama

It would get so much worse.

I didn’t get what I voted for. But I’m not delusional like the majority of the Democrats are apparently.

The first vote I could vote for was Obamas second term ( I was just a tad too young to vote for him the first time around) and I did so happily. Then is 2016 I voted for Hillary and was disappointed like many of you when Trump won.

For the 2020 election I went registered as an independent because I no longer identified as a Democrat. I still have left leaning bias on the majority of issues but I could not identify with the Democrats anymore. I still voted for them, but I wasn’t happy about it. Like many that cycle I viewed Biden as the lesser of two evils.

Now we get to 2024. I live in California. California was going blue no matter what. But I voted third party because I could not bring myself to vote for Kamala and the current Democratic party again. Just like I cannot bring myself to vote for the King Cheeto himself. My vote was simply a vote of protest for the current leaders of the Democratic party. They need to see that if they don’t change their approach going forward they are going to lose Democratic strong holds like California as well. This past election was one of the closest California has had in awhile. Clearly I am not the only person in my state disillusioned with how my old party has been doing things.

I really really want them to put forward someone genuinely good in 2028, but I fear they learned all the wrong lessons for the last 10 years. Only time will tell I guess.

“It’s different when we do it. We HAD to do it.”.

Abuse of power is abuse of power. The Democrats can’t say they are the party of the just and fair when they are doing the exact same shit they condemn the right for doing.

The Democrats will continue to lose if they try and play dodgeball with the Teflon Don. Nothing has stuck or ever will stick to that man and it’s almost entirely thanks to the Democrats in the first place. They should have chosen to eat it on the nose and double down on them being the party that doesn’t try and break rules for personal gain. At least then they would have a legitimate leg to stand on. But they didn’t. They tried to play Trumps game. And they lost. And they will continue to lose.

I want to believe they will have learned anything from 2016-2024, but only time will tell. I suspect that when 2028 rolls around we will find out that the Democrats have still learned absolutely nothing. Based on my discussions with my left leaning friends and family its really not looking good for them in 2028.

I think you are seriously underestimating what can happen when you assassinate a controversial figure like Trump. It would 100% only make things worse.

To wish he would get killed is unbelievably short sighted thinking. I understand the thought process on a surface level but it would be a terrible fucking idea.

Talk to literally any historian ever and see what they have to say about assassinating highly controversial figures.

One last twist of the knife on your way out the door. Slick move sleepy Joe.

Let’s not pretend like Trump won’t be pardoning his family of any and all crimes as well.

You seriously think that having him get assassinated would make things better? Do you have any idea what a martyr is? You think you don’t like him right now just wait how much you would hate the guy if he was assassinated. God you would never hear the end of it.

Your best bet is that he doesn’t fuck anything up too spectacularly in the next 4 years and then we can all forget he ever existed and hopefully never speak his name again.

We had blackberries in our backyard growing up. Every year we would cut and dig up as much of every plant as we could possibly see and we would scrape the top 6 inches of soil to move it far away.

We would burn them all before we churned the soil and burned some more.

We tried every trick and “natural” solution people recommended, but nothing ever stopped them from coming back.

My super hippy mom got so fed up she bought turbo cancer death chemicals and sprayed them everywhere. The blackberries finally stopped coming back.

It’s been 15 years and shes still mad that’s how she finally got rid of the blackberries.

I’m a free speed absolutionist, but this ain’t an infringement of our free speech. If TikTok had been government hosted and they closed it down because they didn’t like what the users were saying then you could absolutely make that argument.

TikTok was owned by a Chinese company and it’s not the only app of its kind.

I live in a deep blue state. Family is all very blue. They have learned absolutely nothing. They all think what the Democrats did was perfect. Kamala was flawless. She didn’t get elected because America is racist AND sexist.

They genuinely believe that there was nothing they could have done to improve.

I think they are gonna have to learn this lesson a few more times before they pull their heads outta their ass finally. I hope.

I never said it wasn’t a shitty system. Just that 900 bucks over the course of 5 years is not an unfathomably amount of money to pay for something. I’ve spent more than 900 on a single car repair several times in my life. Unless they have been living in abject poverty I just don’t see how they couldn’t have paid it off by now. Median American income for a household is 80k. Yeah they aren’t living in luxury but they can afford the occasional expense.

They are an American. It’s not like 900 dollars is some insurmountable of money to pay off in 5 years. 180 bucks a year. 15 bucks a month.

That’s literally a Spotify subscription.

I know enough to drive my car into Google headquarters soon.

For legal reasons that is a joke and I have no intentions of driving my vehicle into the Google buildings.

While we are talking about shit that Google pulls that drives us crazy can we talk about the pop-up asking me if I know about driving mode EVERY SINGLE TIME I LAUNCH MAPS FROM MY CAR.

I fuckin know about it Google. I have said yes every single goddamn time. Stop fuckin asking me.
