    We’ve had several elections in recent memory where it’s been really clear that progressive Democrats win elections compared to centrists (mostly midterm elections but still). Somehow that lesson hasn’t stuck, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Harris’ defeat also doesn’t teach this lesson. At this point the old guard really just needs to die.

    People want change, GOP is offering it and people are eating it up. They just have no idea how incredibly stupid that version of change is.

      Yeah, when they find out that things like vaccines might be up for grabs they might be in for a real ride.

      The fact that it is even a POSSIBILITY is sheer insanity. If donvict had excess deaths during Covid [1], letting a dumbfuck loser like brainworms ban them would kill even more. This time it’d be kids as well as the very old, most likely. Needless, excess death.

      And that’s just the start on this loser’s notion of “change” that we might get…

      [1] A bit of a joke. The policy failures of donvict killed nearly half a million Americans.

        Seriously. I don’t care that much about fluoride in the water being removed for four years, but I’m quite grateful that my youngest is getting the last of his vaccines before January. Hopefully it just ends up a “states rights” thing. Still sucks for herd immunity but at least I’ll still be able to keep my family vaccinated.
