Honestly, Ulti and Seph are right. This SHOULD be a humiliating loss.

The left is content to just go along, business as usual, and expect "Look how bad Trump is!" to win them elections.

New flash. Business as usual isn't going to work.

They need to wake the fuck up.

I appreciate your honesty here instead of going with partisan crap.

I'm a registered independent, not a republican, and there's a lot of things the left does that I agree with. TONS of things the right does that I fucking hate. The right is dead wrong on most social issues, and military spending is fucking stupid right now. The drug war is ridiculous. The anti-gay stuff should have already been a dead issue. The right during the Obama years would happily tell us that you're more likely to die from a bee sting than a terrorist, but now Trump is in there and all I hear about are terrorists. Even taking into account recent terrorism, the numbers are nothing compared to things like obesity, cancer, heart disease, and so on. Isn't there better stuff to spend our time on? If a terrorist wants to blow himself up, you won't stop him. But we can put that 40 million dollars Ossoff got into cancer research, you know? Shit's so dumb.

The left needs to disavow all this violence, this "resistance" garbage, and just relax. Losing one election isn't the end of the world. But when they sit there and do dumb things like follow up "not all Muslims are terrorists" (which is true!!!!!! most muslims are the nicest people you'll ever meet) with blaming all white people for any violent act from a white guy, they are directly costing democrats votes. The public is sick of this stuff and sees right through what the media is doing.

There are more democrats than republicans in this country, largely because people relate to social issues when the left isn't moving the overton window too far left. It's no accident that the election in South Carolina was closer than the one in Georgia. Just play things straight. How have they not figured this out yet? I'm no political strategist, but I can see the path for the left here. The country wants "middle" -- centrists. Give it to them.


Agree with all this.
