A reminder that moderates in the Democratic Party are full of fucking shit when they talk about the importance of party unity. That only goes one direction.

One of the biggest issues right now is the language used by Democrats and Republicans.

Right now, Republicans feel like they can't lose. Look at all the right wing dipshits on GameFAQs saying "four more years of Trump", trolling about how the Liberals are going to cope when Donald Trump is re-elected. Not "if", "when". They're acting like they've already won, like most of the country slurps his nuts like they do. Right now, they're confident. And that emboldens them and gives them a sense of power.

Democrats are still arguing about the challenger, and this message gives off an aura of hopelessness or resignation. Of course, the Democratic party still has to decide on a leader to challenge Donald Trump, and that's proving to be a difficult task with all the different financial backers and such. But that can't be an excuse for defeatism.

Right now Biden is throwing as much shit at the wall to see what sticks, including slagging off Bernie Sanders. Hillary Clinton, the woman who benefitted from biased media coverage and what might as well have been a fix on behalf of the DNC, is slagging off Bernie Sanders. She's not running, but she's using her clout to go against Sanders, who's been a big hit with moderates and progressives alike - unlike her appeal with diehard Democrats and moderates who didn't want to see Trump in the White House.

But as a voter, you can't let that shit get to you. Joe Biden keeps fucking up and looking like a creepy old man. Hillary Clinton is the Democrat who lost the White House to Donald fucking Trump - who the fuck cares what she thinks? Right now, Bernie has a solid base - at least, he has a more solid base than he did in 2016 where literally everything was trying to fuck him over. As a supporter, it's important to support and uplift that base, especially in the face of an opponent who are already acting like it's a sure thing.

Republicans are already celebrating another four years of Trump. During this crucial phase of the democratic process, it's important to consolidate support for your candidate and go to bat for them. I'm gonna be pissed if Bernie gets swept under the rug again, but this fight isn't over and "oh no, Trump's gonna win again" is a statement that only further emboldens his fanbase. It strengthens their rhetoric, and that only serves to further fuel any hopelessness you might be feeling about the 2020 elections. That mood also rubs off on the people around you, which makes the problem worse.

The more that people lose faith, the better of a chance it will be that Donald Trump will be re-elected. The language used to discuss political candidates doesn't seem important, but a strong campaign is built on the back of a strong supporter base. Republicans and alt-right shitheads are using a united front of "another four years of Trump" to trigger the libs - excuse the phrasing. It's important not to give in to that, because that only grants their platform more power.

Two things:

1. That's a spoken quote from her so she isn't spelling anything.
2. "Baloney" is the correct way to spell it in this context.

This is what I was talking about. It's all bluster, and letting it get to you only validates posts like these.

If you let shitposts like this run against your wavering support of your political interests, then this election might as well be over. Keeping your head held high, at a minimum, is the best thing you can do right now.

the election and its aftermath will be unbelievably entertaining no matter what happens, i can't wait

This is very true.

My faith in humanity is very low these days unfortunately. People too easily led by the nose, and those are the people who aren't intentionally trying to fuck everyone else over.

Speaking of fucking, fuck Hillary. She couldn't even beat fucking Donald Trump, the freest election of the century if anyone halfway likeable ran against him.

I don't even know what she gains from this, she's not running. She knows damn well her name's no good anymore(Then again she's talking shit like this).

"Bernie isn't popular in Congress!"

Yeah? Maybe that's a good thing considering Congress hasn't been popular from the public in ages.

We got the bad timeline where the Republicans hold all the power and the Democrats are too stupid and incompetent to do anything about it.

didn't obama say this about her back in the day

something like "she says everything but accomplishes nothing"

I'm pretty sure every reasonable person predicted that with Bernie running again these primaries and the resultant election would mirror certain aspects of 2016, particularly extreme in-fighting amongst democrats...
