      It physically hurts me to think about the number of times here, on this platform, people tried to gaslight us on this.

      First it never happened.

      Then, when we showed them the interview where he said it, we were told it was just “misconstruing” what Biden said.

      Then, it wasn’t a campaign promise.

      Then, when in 2024 when Biden confirmed it was a campaign promise, it didn’t matter, because “beating Trump” was too important; but if “beating Trump” was so important, then why were they insisting on sticking with Biden?

      I just. Sometimes I can’t even.

        That didn’t happen. And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. And if it was, that’s not a big deal. And if it is, that’s not my fault. And if it was, I didn’t mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.

        The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right.

        It sucks that the Democrats are the Republican party of 2012.
