    I didn’t realize it was solely my responsibility to unfuck this country. I thought that’s what they paid their political consultants a billion dollars for.

        Love the liberal attitude of blaming an individual rather than the institution.

        But, yeah, me as someone with no political power and the inability to cut seven-figure checks is the problem. Not the assholes who insisted the economy was fine and courted Cheneys.

          Love the liberal attitude of blaming an individual rather than the institution.

          With all due respect, the liberal attitude is failing and you’re not helping it. This discussion is depressing and proves to me why yall are losing and why its probably more beneficial to me to stay Republican for the scraps of political favors.

          If you can’t support your side like Republicans can support Trump, then you cannot win. Do you seriously think Republicans care about abstract moral values? Or is this a more simple matter of working together even with people who are fucking racist to claw a bit more power.

          Power is power. Until Democrats figure that out, you aren’t going to obtain any.
