Opinion How does it feel to be a democrat right now?

[Lycandroid]

do democrats have the ability to feel anything ? and if not is it because of a lack of moral character, low IQ or a combination of both ?

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

You're born with no affiliation, free from all this divisiveness. People are just people first before anything else. The key is to find a common ground regardless of differences of opinion.

I imagine they are feeling frustrated, sad, and lost. I am not a dem and I still feel that way because I am not a fan of trump either. I feel like I am on my own with no representation

That’s how we should all feel. I hate both parties, but have a much stronger hatred for the democrats right now.

Im perfectly happy with my liberal beliefs. I am happy with the things we accomplished for the American people, particularly the middle class, these past 4 years. I’m happy to have not cast a vote for a fascist shitbag who scapegoats immigrants, endangers women, and further oppresses already marginalized groups—plus was convicted of 34 felonies and was facing dozens more. I’m proud to not be associated with anti-Constitution ideas like white nationalism and Christian nationalism.

The sad part is seeing how many of my fellow Americans find it easy to make rationalizations for all of the things I just listed; to support racism, misogyny, sexual assault, and discrimination. I keep waiting to see where the bottom is, to see what disgusting thing Trump isn’t capable of selling to these people, but so far there’s been no signs we’re getting close.

Both parties have become absurd, farcical representations of what each once stood for. The lowest brow possible on either side of the aisle.
Thanks internet.
The political landscape in America is beyond explanation.

I was told by authorities on both sides of the aisle, that 3rd, 4th, or 5th (alternative) parties are "unelectable" They both agree it would be a "waste of my vote."

Should I blame the internet for this as well?

Frustrated is a fair assessment. I don’t really feel lost; I’m a bit sad and frustrated that Trump’s rhetoric works. I’d have hoped that scapegoating the fuck out immigrants or demonizing minorities wouldn’t be a winning message in America, but boy was I wrong about that. I’m also fairly worried that people I care about, or even myself, won’t be safe in our own country during a Trump pesidency. Which of course is exactly what they’re aiming for.

One side is really good at telling me how incompetent the other side is and the other side is good at proving how incompetent they actually are

Cali leadership from local municipalities all the way to State level is just horrendous.
Misplaced funding, lack of accountability, outright fraud and theft, empty headed policy, etc.
For the 8th largest economy IN THE WORLD, fucking disgraceful.
But the Libs keeps electing these clowns. lol at Newsom and Bass.
Abject failures.

I heard this was not the time to point fingers, poor Gavin is up to his ears in rich donors pissed af at him.

I also heard we are not supposed to criticize Bass, it's not the time and also she's a member of a marginalized community and accountability is riddled in systemic racism

This is the greatest response I could have ever hoped for. That's actually going to be my new sig.

being so heavily propagandized is nothing to be proud of

I think you are catastrophising a good bit about not being safe.

And maybe if you weren’t so propagandized, none of this shit would be happening.

—Trump hand-selected judges to overturn Roe, and that has left women unable to get health care they need, e.g. Kate Cox in TX, or these dozens of women. This is a fact, not propaganda. This is what conservative Trump voters caused.

—Trump of course was convicted of 34 felonies and was facing dozens more. These are crimes against the American people that Trump voters saved him from, and victims of those crimes are let without justice. That’s a fact.

—Trump lies about immigrants and scapegoats them constantly. That’s a fact.

—We have Trump on tape admitting to groping women, and his supporters minimize and justify it. That’s a fact.

These differences between our two sides aren’t mere “political differences,” as conservative media lies to paint them. Trump supporters are supporters of all those things I mentioned, and have to bargain with themselves in some way to support it.
Stop supporting cruelty, racism, misogyny, and sexual assault. It’s gross.

I think you are catastrophising a good bit about not being safe.

No, this is how many people feel, and there’s good reason for it. See my above post. When large numbers of Americans make excuses for sexual assault, many women who have been victims of SA don’t feel safe. I know gay, lesbian, and trans people who don’t feel safe. I had a co-worker who is gay and HIV positive, and is terrified that the ACA will be repealed and he won’t be able to afford the medication he literally needs to live. I could go on.

If you think this is overblown, look at Ruby Freeman and what happened to her. Look at the death threats that election officials in AZ received due to MAGA lies. Look at the voters intimidated at drop boxes, doxxed, and threatened. Look at Kate Cox in TX who sued for her right to an abortion only to have the states AG step in personally and threaten doctors. MAGA traffics in threats and intimidation.

I’m certainly not about to be cowed by some MAGA dorks. But when Trump uses a vague term like “the radical left,” without being specific as to whom he means, and says they are the enemy within and are vermin that need to be rooted out, I assume he’s talking about people with left-leaning politics like me. Their goal is to make their political enemies feel unsafe and threaten them into silence.

You’ve gotta accept a lot of bullshit to be a partisan these days for either party

You are propagandized if you think taking of human life is health care, you think the human soul does not exist.

You are propagandized if you think falsifying business records is a crime against the american people.

You are propagandized if you think the issues with immigration don't effect the population negatively

You are propagandized if you condemn Trump for groping women but are cool with Biden sniffing kids and showering with his own children

You are propagandized if you paint half the country with same brush acting as if everyone one side unilaterally supports any given issue

You are propagandized if you think anyone supports sexual assault

You are propagandized if you don't feel safe depending on who the president is

You are propagandized if you think you aren't safe based on your sexuality while living in the most open minded country on the face of the earth during the safest time for a member of the lgbt in human history.

You are propagandized when you spout all this crazy bullshit and fail to realize how radical you are

They just passed policy that bans males from competing in female sports. That's pretty much the opposite of endangering women.

Aren’t you the same dork who got your feelings hurt when I pointed out that Musk has suspended the Twitter accounts of journalists and in-suspended the accounts of neo-Nazis, and felt the need to @ me about it?

On some level I can sympathize with you: it must be psychologically difficult to justify supporting cruel and hateful policies that hurt minorities and women, to have cheerlead for innocent people being stalked and intimidated. I don’t know how you do it tbh.

But you don’t need to @ me every time I show your hateful platform to you and make you contend with it. Realign your moral compass yourself if you’re able, talk it through with a therapist, go see a cult deprogrammed… do whatever you need to do. I don’t need to be part of your mental health journey.

What's happening in California right now should destroy the progressive Democrat agenda but they are still clinging to their agenda.

John Fetterman ironically is one of the few Democrats trying to change with the times by becoming more moderate.

Fetterman had a stroke and suffered brain damage. I wouldn't use him as an example of much. I am glad he appears to be slowly making a recovery.

 

[ColemanwastheGOAT]

I'm in a better position than most to weather the coming shit storm, so I will gladly sit back and watch it unfold while doing my utmost to make fun of the gullible retards on here that actually voted for Felonious Chunk. They own the blame for what the next 4 (+?) years bring.

My hands are clean.

He just negotiated a cease fire in Gaza.

Eat shit.
