Look at the comments for some bad takes

I imagine the teachers are talking fewer sick days as well…

It was Biden in a fat suit this whole time.

Yeah, and my labor contributes to the capitalist orphan grinding machine. Question is not who is pure, but what people are doing with their privilege. Someone is using their new privilege to murder opponents, and she may have used her privilege to take away freedoms. Doesn’t make the two wrongs into a right.

Did we forget who was president when Epstein was murdered in a prison?

As Jesse Wells put it in a song:

The pills are all the same. The illusion is you get to choose.

If Harris had won, would we have reached the same realization?

Unless one of your values is to take wealth from those that don’t share your values, this is not a critique that will lead to meaningful corrections. I guess that could be a conservative value, but now you’re just doing identity politics.

Show me the conservative critique of billionaires. I know how that works on the left, but the right is about preserving power structures

Good thing the majority of state Governors are not Republican and would not welcome interventions from a fascist federal government. Oh wait…

Tariffs are reserved for our allies.

Then what’s stopping the Democrats from banning corporate money from their primaries? Point to the bad actors.

So they would be cool to get corporate money out their primaries, right?

It should fund drones to pester billionaires to donate their money. Every time they step out in public there should be a swarm of bots broadcasting how many times they flew with Epstein. We could have comedians voice the drones and have a competition to see who does the best roast.

I voted for Harris, so I reckon my vote worked as well as yours for the Palestinians.

My point is that if I were so cynical to think we can only win by appealing to the worse in our party, then I wouldn’t bother defending democracy. At that point it is not simply a matter of voting for the lesser evil, but telling your neighbors that is is okay to be a racist misogynist.

I do believe in democracy, which is why I ask for more, not less.

If I believed what you were saying, then I wouldn’t even bother voting.

Are these the same voters who support the Palestinian genocide? At some point we have to have the courage to stand for the right thing instead of pandering to our most cynical neighbors.

The wealthy would live even longer if their wealth was redistributed to remove scarcities around public health. In this sense, Luigi is just trying to save them from themselves.

Good on those who are making a stand, but know that no one is coming to save us. We have only ourselves to blame.

Yeah, I don’t think those racist misogynists were going to vote for anything less than mass deportations.
