There’s no lesson to be learned. They will blame it on the Dems for not being attractive enough. They’re still saying that about 2016.

You’re surprised? I wouldn’t have been surprised if Dr Phil was his pick.

Yep. And as much as I’d like to blame 3rd party voters, even if they all voted Harris to giver her the majority, she’d have still lost due to electoral college.

I will absolutely blame the non-voters though. And the 3rd party voters still get part of the blame.

But then everyone will think you’re a nazi. Because you’ll smell like all those masked nazis you doused.

Obviously, this statement was not targeting you specifically. “You” is targeted towards Trump voters and non-voters.

We knew what was on the ballot. I don’t care that the DNC could have done better. When the choice is “meh” vs literal Nazis, you’re a damn nazi if you didn’t vote directly against them.

I’m fucking done mincing words after voters gave them the House, Senate, POTUS, and all the god damn courts.

Trump also said he’d aggressively deport and sort through the mistakes later. He’s going to deport legal immigrants too, and I very much doubt they’ll let them back in without an extensive legal battle. Which will never move forward because he’ll intentionally starve the court system (like congress already did at his order) so that realistically, they will never get through the system.

Great fucking job giving Nazis free reign, you stupid, stupid, evil fuckers. You had a choice to fight nazis when it was easy. Just a vote. But you chose nazis, one way or another.

If you dunk chunks of raw bear in it like an Oreo, you sure can!

Go ahead. Let your anti science cultists get themselves sick. I don’t fucking care anymore.

It feels like we’re living in the middle of one of those cultist documentaries, where 29 years from now the stupid fucks that survive are going to be on camera going “I know it sounds weird, but it was really compelling at the time”. Except this cult doesn’t even have fun drug fueled orgies.

Yeah. It’s called negotiating. You start at a number higher than what you’d be happy with, expecting to meet somewhere in the middle.

Why? So that they’re officially convicted so that Trump can pardon them?

How, exactly? They own the courts, and have the presidency, senate, and likely the house. How exactly do we fight back? America gave them the authority to do anything they want that doesn’t require a super majority.

Except local refusal to enforce doesn’t really work with gay marriage. If feds refuse to accept gay marriage, they won’t be able to file jointly on federal taxes, and the protections to Rights for spouses like medical visitation / decisions would have to be repeated locally, which could (would) get challenged and ultimately overruled by SCOTUS

Uh huh. So you do your “homework” and call out that Biden forced the workers to take 1 day of sick leave instead of the 7 that they wanted (at that stage in the negotiations).

I present evidence that it was downgraded from 7 to 1 in the Senate because Republicans rejected 7.

I then present evidence that Biden’s administration leaned on the railroad companies until they in fact gave the majority of railworkers 7 sick days. With quotes on the Union heads attributing those gains to the Biden administration.

And then suddenly 7 days isn’t good enough to call that a “win” in your opinion.

And I’m the hypocrite.

7 isn’t 15, which is what the workers were initially going to strike for (and deserved).

Have you ever heard of negotiating? You don’t start at the price you’d be happy with. The Unions have stated they’re happy with the result, why aren’t you?

You do understand that being honest about Biden’s fuck-ups now can’t do any more damage

What fuck up? Biden averted a major breakdown in supply chain, AND got the workers what they wanted. That’s a win, despite the repeated attempts at framing it as a failure.

And no, I’m not going to spend a day digging through your history. If you’re repeating this gross misrepresentation of facts now, chances are high that you have before.

Well, you failed your homework assignment, then.

Further down your own Wikipedia article

In February 2023, CSX announced a deal to provide four days of paid sick leave annually, plus the option of converting three personal days into additional paid sick time with two unions.

Citation from your own linked article

Which also clearly states that the original agreement that included 7 days was shot down by Republican senators, which is why the 1 sick day had to be the first iteration. And also includes details on how Biden’s administration continuing pressure on the railroad companies that led to 7 days paid sick leave for two unions 3 months later, and then ultimately yielded 7 sick days for the majority of railroad union workers by half a year later.

But yeah, keep intentionally misrepresenting recent history. It helped elect the guy who is so anti worker that he habitually stiffs his own workers of overtime, or refuses to pay them at all.

The “fight for $15” (minimum wage increase) has been going on for so long with zero [Federal] success that, due to inflation, it ought to be renamed “fight for $30” by now.

And the side that won has been fighting the minimum wage hike for “so long”. Who’s the enemy of the working class again?

The lip service given in supporting unions was belied by how Biden fucked over the railroad workers.

This is a lie that has been repeated time and time again. He fast followed the end of the strike with helping the workers get exactly what they wanted. He aided their negotiations AND got our supply lines back on line.

Inequality (the gap between the working class and the 1%) is continuing to spiral out of control and the Democrats had very little to say about stopping it. It’s important to remember that “tax the rich” was only supported by the progressive subset of the Democratic Party.

Again, which party is it giving the mega wealthy tax breaks? Who is appointing billionaires to run the government? Who controlled the House and prevented tax reform from going through?

We need zoning reform coupled with switching from property tax to land-value tax, to stop enabling the hoarding of underdeveloped property by protecting it from market forces (i.e. real reforms to make housing affordable again).

That is state level reform. Obviously.

We also need things like vigorous enforcement of anti-trust law and consumer protection laws, so that the public feels (and is) less exploited by corporations.

No argument there, but which party is constantly eroding our current regulations that protect consumers and workers?

And yet, the Overton window isn’t wide enough to fight a tiny slice of window, which is “far right fascists”

And in the same breath, they’ll say it’s the Dems fault for supporting genocide.

“Or votes wouldn’t have made a difference in the outcome, but Dems lost because they didn’t do the thing that would have supposedly gotten our vote”

Yep.

No, the difference is the extent of which they will enable genocide. And I’m not just taking about Gaza.

It’s a massive fucking difference.

Trump wanted to deport Haitans to Mexico. You’re not getting a free ride to Ireland. Hope you like tequila.
