I suppose materially, Republicans definitely cause more harm at least in the short term (and generally long term too).

But Democrats are pathetic. I know the phrase “democrats snatch defeat from the hand of victory” is a meme. But wow-wee. This failure looked to be even worse than the 2016 campaign. At least you could make the excuse back then that Trump was such clown it was unthinkable that he could win.

Since the DNC I have been flabbergasted about the campaign strategy. But I figured hey? Maybe they know something I don’t? Maybe the strategy is also eek out a win, but a win none the less.

Democrats are demons. Apathetic moral demons. I knew they sucked, but I was on board with “the lesser of two evils” Not a good long term strategy, but it was what it was. The rage i felt for them during “normal” shitty circumstances has become all consuming. Monstrous party.

Trump should have lost Barry Goldwater style. Democrats could EASILY have done that. These people are so beholden to the Capitalists that love republicans even more that they are willing to hand power over to these facists.

    … Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

    this comes from his essay entitled “letters from a birmingham jail” and it’s relevancy is bone chilling to me.
