    “Well, we’re gonna lose the left vote because we love genocide, so we should start courting right wingers who are just going to vote republican anyway”

      It’s extra sad because no matter how transparently they sell out their ostensibly liberal principles the libs will crawl out of the woodwork to scold you for remembering what they used to say and wanting literally ANYTHING from these fucks.

      It was less than election cycle ago that Trump saying these exact things and wanting these same policies were reasons to vote for Joe. Because who would allow someone who wants to shut down the border “so we can figure out what the hell is going on” to become president?

        They’ve reverted to a feudal mindset. The democrats have no obligation to their voters. Only the voters are obliged to swear fealty to the Dem candidate regardless of who it is and what they do.

          At least that means they will stop using the “wE can PuSh HiM lEfT” line they kept trotting out last tune around, it’s too incredible for even them to believe. I very much prefer him running with no platform and just shrugging off questions about why anyone should do this again. It’s more honest at least.

            “we’re gonna elect a conservative and then push him left by defending his every action tooth and nail and promising to vote for him in the future”

            Incredible gullibility
