This is from the perspective of a blue voter in a red state. As long as something is a Red State Problem, Democrats in blue states figure that everyone in the state likes things as they are and deserves it.

If there was some solidarity with workers nationwide and not just in your own states. If there was solidarity with trans people instead of Democratic candidates parroting rightwing hate about “boys in girls sports.” If there was solidarity on cannabis or abortion. If there were tangible benefits Democrats could point to that people in red states actually experienced, there would be fewer red states.

But no. Everyone in a red state deserves to be abandoned, regardless of how they vote.

Have you considered that not everyone in red states are Republicans?

Lemmings in blue states, are you scared that you might get at the national level what you keep callously saying we deserve?

Because maybe if you had some fucking solidarity, there would be fewer red states. We’re doing shitty, thank you for all the nothing, and you’ll be right there with us soon.

Wait… there’s a candidate named Fred Merz?

Like William Frawley’s character from I Love Lucy?

Pretty much, yeah. Not only that, you can cross-reference it with other fascists if they ever deny knowing each other. Or cross-reference it with police, but I repeat myself.

Well, if this is going to be used by shitty people, we should use and abuse it to the absolute hilt.

If privacy is dead, it’s dead for everyone. Not just good people living their lives.

Any phone that spends Sunday morning at a megachurch? Let’s see what massage parlors or whose houses they spend time at. Let’s see where they are during that “business trip”.

We told you it was a losing issue. You called us Russian bots and tankies and trumpists because that was easier than listening to something you didn’t want to hear.

I voted for Harris. But that doesn’t mean I’m blind to the suicidal boneheadedness of the pro-genocide centrist wing of the Democratic Party. We tried to warn you. You thought you knew better. In your overwhelming and unearned arrogance, you concluded that anyone that was willing to read the writing on the wall couldn’t possibly be an actual person with agency.

Now go hug Dick Cheney. He’s the only vote any of you cared about.

If the anti-genocide left were too insignificant to treat like humans, they’re too insignificant to blame. Centrists ran the campaign they wanted. Their instincts were and remain shit.

The left has been warning you nonstop for the past year that this would happen. Democrats didn’t listen and instead decided that genocide and Cheneys would get Republicans to vote for them. That was stupid as fuck. It didn’t work.

I voted for Harris.

This was not the election for a protest.

It never is. Democrats keep taking advantage of that. It finally failed.

I voted for Harris.

Quit bitching and start working towards something better, or you’re as useless as the Democratic establishment.

That’s the thing. Centrists believe that there is nothing wrong with Democratic establishment, and that they were failed by the stupid voters they hate.

Thank your god Netanyahu that she played into his hands.

Or they slow-walked the investigations because they wanted to run against Trump again.

You sure showed us who’s in charge of the party. And didn’t give a shit about anything else.

Voted for Harris, btw.

You will never admit that moving to the right has failed.

And the best part is that Democrats aren’t gonna learn a fucking thing. They’ll move even further to the right next time. If there even is a next time.

Because the alternative involves accepting that moving to the right has failed as a strategy, and they don’t want to do anything else.

Then the rabble wont show up for elections. No better way to drain the energy out of a voter base then to make their voices feel unheard.

Democrats will never understand this.

You mean “fuck you, you’re voting for us, here’s Dick Cheney!” wasn’t the winning message for everyone that it was for centrists?

Why bother?

How did you feel when he finally beat Medicare?
