I’d have to have created a Twitter account at some point for that…

But if someone did have one, they should just delete it.

A steady stream of farewells would give them something to unite over and talk about.

Just fucking delete the account.

I don’t know why everyone has the obsession with “winning” by getting a last word in like that.

If you want to piss people like this off, just ignore them. They’re literally throwing tantrums for attention, and people really think giving them attention is a positive.

You think “later loser” would piss Elmo off, but that’s what he wants.

Every time I see these posts “dunking” on Elon on Twitter…

I just can’t help but think if everyone who disagreed with him just left, him and his supporters would just turn on each other.

The only reason they’re there is to argue, no matter who else is there, they’re gonna argue.

Reasonable people being there just give them someone to unite against.

Don’t give them the common enemy, and they’ll fight each other, and be less unified for the next election.

Anyone still spending time on twitter (regardless of their personal politics) is just helping trump.

I think it’s safe to say 1/3 will support the aliens, 1/3 will hate them, and 1/3 will just ignore the problem.

It feels like whatever the issue is, that’s the split.

So?

What matters is winning elections.

Stomping our feet and saying they should do what we tell them isn’t fucking working.

So if you want them to vote D so together we can stop Rs…

Maybe we should try running a better candidate than we have been?

Maybe no matter how much the wealthy insist on it, just being slightly better than trump isn’t enough.

Maybe we should just run the best candidate we can, one that already agrees with Dem voters so we don’t have to ask millions of people to hold their nose?

The excuse for running candidates further to the right then Dem voters has always been that it would magically win an election.

It hasn’t, and it won’t.

It’s a bad strategy and we’ve stuck with it for about a decade longer than we should have already.

What logical reason can you give to stick with a plan that even when it works doesn’t get us as much as we need, and fails regularly?

As a bonus, the more Dems move right, the more Republicans do.

So every election Dem voters have their potential winnings reduced and potential loses increased…

And people are really surprised why turnout was low?!

Ya, CCCP started it all with Hitler

Whut?

Is this an attempt at a joke or do you really believe that?

It’s hard to tell these days when someone is just pretending

No, this is the voter she pissed off Dem voters for…

It didn’t work out well if you’ve already forgotten.

If someone says trump is Hitler but they voted for him anyways…

Then he was already going to vote for trump, and chasing his vote just led to losing traditional Dem voters with literally no gain.

Moving to the right is political suicide, yet we keep doing it because that’s how you max donations. And that’s all the people running the party care about.

It’s like people really believe America entered WW2 to fight fascism becaus Americans are innately good…

Large amounts of the country said the same shit this guy is. They wanted to either stay out of it or outright join the nazis.

Especially the wealthy. Prescott Bush was believed to be part of the Business Plot that wanted to overthrow the US government in favor of fascism and doing the Axis powers.

They didn’t succeed (mostly because of Pearl Harbor) but his son became head of the CIA, VP, and then president. One of his sons also became president, and almost another one.

If we don’t remember what history was really like, we’re doomed to keep being surprised when the same shit keeps happening.

It’s all about where you live and what you look like.

I’m a huge white dude in a red state, I’ve been getting hit on by nazis since before I was a teenager because I look like their “ideal”.

Like, when they picture their “master race” it’s what I look like, so they always fucking assume I’ll agree with any side comment they make.

If you’re not in a super blue area, you’re not hearing stuff because something identifies you as “them” and not “us”. But even in blue areas I’ll hear shit.

In space, no one can hear a comma

But that’s still not fasting…

Not eating meat on some Fridays isn’t fasting…

And that’s not even something all Christians do, pretty sure it’s just Catholics

No, because a Utopia is a Utopia for everyone or it’s not a Utopia.

Normalizing republican extremism is about the only thing modern neoliberalism has accomplished, and likely why the same billionaires donate to both.

They want the return of feudual society, they just know the only way they get it is if the only other option is a shit sandwich.

His boner was chortled on the front page of the local newspaper, I dare anyone not to run around with the newspaper screaming after that.

What?

He’s been building the movement longer than either of us have probably been alive.

He never expected to do as well as he did in the presidential run, let alone think he could win

It was to draw attention on national level to the progressive movement and to pull the party left in an attempt to save it.

Someday I’d like to hear a rational explanation about why the worse the Republican is, the more conservative and uncharismatic the Dem has to be.

Like, if all that matters is stopping Republicans…

Why aren’t we running someone that people like?

A Bill Clinton or Barack Obama type that actively went after the youth vote, opened a dialog with voters, and took feedback to make their campaigns more appealing?

Historically speaking, that’s a slam dunk.

We can keep trying to berate the youth into voting, but the thing about 18 year olds is, there’s always 18 year olds. Convince this batch to hold their nose, and we got to convince the next one again. Plus re-convirnce the old batch again. Someone that’s 30 right now has spent almost half their life being told that they have no say in who they vote for, they just have to vote against trump.

How are people surprised they feel disenfranchised?

Why can’t we try listening to the youth, and trust that as the future party moves further to the left, they stay with the party?
