And people ask why Democrats are losing. The right-wing grift is everywhere, it's pervasive, all consuming.

We could argue how Democrats could have been better for anything. But November was not just some ordinary Democrats vs Republican election. That's the thing a lot of you fail to grasp. For the last 8+ years, Trump was horrible, and has even said this time around that he plans on ramping up his horribleness by a lot, and is doing so as we speak. And yet people still needed to be convinced who to vote for? Sorry, but that shit just don't fly anymore. If after everything Trump has done up to November, as well as what he says he will do (including Project 2025), and that wasn't enough for people to vote correctly? Then it's pretty obvious they were never gonna vote Democrats anyways, regardless how badly they did things. So this is on all the stupid people out there, and not Democrats. And to defend those people, really shows some serious problems within yourself, as people like you refuse to look past the war going on and see the much bigger picture. That right there says that it's YOU, not all these "pro-genocide" people (as many of you claim), that aren't anti-genocide. Know it and own it already.

Way to ignore the point. The amount of people who sat out over this genocide are smaller then you think. The average youth voter simply does not vote. I know several who weren't even aware Biden had dropped out. The MAGA cult is larger then you think. Our youth are increasingly becoming radicalized by alt-right influencers. But, again, Democrats like you when this is pointed out silence.

But, no, please keep blaming the protest voters for everything wrong with the Democrat party. You can't fathom why Trump won or you willingly choose to be blind.

I know it sounds slow, but I'm starting to realize most left wingers don't actually vote in the primaries like they claim to. If they did, we wouldn't keep getting conservative Democrats as winners. Either that, or the conservative Democrats are the ones that mostly show up, and the actual leftists can't agree to unite on a progressive candidate. Either way, it's a huge problem.

Because most "Democrats" are also lazy and won't vote. Of all my friends who proudly claim to be progressive not a single one voted. Why? They either forgot, or were too lazy.

The amount of people who sat out because Kamala wasn't liberal enough was marginal. The Trump effect was real. People gravely underestimated how huge that cult was and how loathed Biden is.

I don't know what Harris's economic policies were, but surely they couldn't have been better than Trump's "I plan to make everything more expensive."
...Right?

Trump says Biden did it. Case closed liberal.

LightSnake posted...

this is such an issue with leftist echo chambers where they think people just vote for republicans because Dems are insufficiently socialist

But it is. The Democrats completely overlooked how beloved Trump is. Things that get Biden crucified are blatantly ignored for Trump. Kids are rapidly being radicalized by social media funneling them conservative BS. The elites of America are doing their best to shut down any Democrat messaging.

The media is conservative, social media is conservative, are schools are rapidly becoming conservative. Democrats have no answer for this. Many of the old guard have just given up and are willing to work with Trump. But, see, Republicans never do the same. Democrats have to come groveling to their Republican overlords.

I never bought Biden had dementia. He's just old and a horrible public speaker. But, regardless, he wasn't capable of running. He's just too old to be doing a second term.

SecretBase posted...

It really does seem like media has a heavy agenda against Biden.

I don't know why modern Dems don't at least try to keep a cordial relationship with the mainstream media like Obama and prior Dems did. Hillary, Biden, and Harris all played hardball with the media and it's led to lies and shit coverage like this. Trump played even worse hardball with the media, but he's so much of a shitshow that he makes them enough money to overlook it. Mainstream Dems aren't chaotic enough to get away with it, so when they refuse access and coverage and interviews they get a propaganda mill levied against them.

That too. The media LOVE Trump because he's a ratings cash cow. Plus, many of these magazines and news groups are run by republican billionaires.

Do you ever feel like the Democratic Party is completely incompetent?

Yes, and it's voters will never question them. Democrats will do everything to court Republicans and lose everytime.

remember the part where Biden ISNT the president? me too!

move the fuck along, TC.

Can't talk about Biden, Can't talk about Democrats, Can only talk about Trump. Must be Trump 24/7. Democrats are perfect, Biden is perfect! We're in this mess because of Biden and the Democrats absolute fucking failure. No amount of head in the sand will make the Democrats any better.

I'm just stunned at people going "Dedra can appear again! Maybe they'll let her out, wouldn't that be cool!?"

She had a perfect end. Let us never see her. We don't need to know what else happens to her. She was a true believer in Imperial fascism and it turned on and threw her away like trash.

What can she do? The remnants wouldn't want a failure like her around; the new republic would have her locked away forever or just flat out executed. Thats if she even survives. The whole purpose of these prisons is to work the prisoners to death.

InfinityMonster posted...

Amazing season. I definitely want to see more of Mon Mothma. There's a lot of potential left for her between this and Ahsoka and even beyond that.

In the Mandalorian, they show that there's a New Republic Amnesty Program where they rehabilitate and reintegrate former Imperials. I wouldn't be surprised she gets out.

Yeah for low level grunts. But ISB supervisors who ordered a genocide? Yeah TNR executes them

But, they are. The media doesn't care anymore. Many arab/muslims support Trump.

Onto topic 3!

Playing this again really solidifies that this is probably my favorite ES game. Yes Morrowind has a much better world and interesting in depth quests, but something about oblivion as a whole just raptures me. I may try Skyrim again after this and give it a fair shake cause other than the first forty five hours on PS3 I never made it as far

I dunno Morrowind specially with TR and mods put Oblivion to shame. I was beyond let down by how generic Cyrodil was depicted.

divot1338 posted...

And yet 100% ot the time Biden has defeated Donald Trump at the polls.

And polls said Kamala would landslide over Trump. Polls are meaningless. Biden would get wrecked because people blamed him for everything.

I'm playing Morrowind. New Tamriel Rebuilt expansion dropped.

In what way would Harris have been worse than Trump?

Genocide is Genocide. Why should I support Democrats if they're gunna keep on letting Israel carpet bomb Gaza? But, tbh, you never answer my question. Why would she tie herself to Biden? Why would she not break off and say she won't back Israel? If pro-gaza protesters were that massive why did she ignore it? Why did she keep on pandering to Republicans'?

Bide did nothing but bow to Israel on every issue. Hell he went right behind Obamas back just to sabotage any peace deal. "I will do nothing differently then Joe Biden's admin", and you can see why Muslims aren't rallying to support her?

The movies for the final arc aren't coming out anytime soon in the West. It's literally a movie for the 3 remaining UMs and then we'll likely have a movie or two for the final battle. It'll be years before we catch up. The manga is long since been over. It's really annoying.

The final arc is split into three fucking movies. Movie one hasn't even been in theatres yet. It's also not gunna be released worldwide at once. Joy. Like the final arc is literally just straight up fighting with zero rest. And if they're real greedy they could milk the FINAL battle into two movies.

I liked how Muzan just wasted his Lower Moons. He had no time for their BS anymore. The lower moons are literally fodder.

Despised posted...

So I'm better just watching the movies?

This is weird, the most modern thing I've watched is Jjk, while I've seen a ton of series I guess all my anime watching was done years ago

Fortunately for you Mugen train was also shown as a TV anime. So you can either watch the movie or watch the season itself. The only reason we have the movies is pure greed. They wanna milk this series till the bitter end. There's no sequel, no potential for a sequel either. So they wanna milk this.

I just hope they don't start saying good things about Jack Thompson

Jack Thompson was a right wing conservative who sought to ban games. He wanted good Christian family values in gaming. Pretty nowadays he's far right.

SaikyoStyle posted...

Bernie never ran in a general election with the (pathetic) weight of the Democratic Party behind him.

He couldn't even win a primary. Why would they support him again?

She's the boogeyman of all capital G gamers. It was rough during the hey-day of gamergate. People had no actual arguments for her. It was senseless attacks, wave after wave of non-stop attacks. Every post, every topic in a gaming area was an attack on her. On reddit anything that defended her got you massive downvotes and lot of hate. People didn't have a single legitimate criticism about her.

People actually wanted women out of the industry. At least on gfaqs the line was "Games are for men not women" and men want to see TnA.

VeggetaX posted...

Aka she was a grifter.

She wasn't. She had actual good opinions. She was the only one actually saying anything. Women were afraid to ever speak up. They never felt welcome in the industry.

Cotton_Eye_Joe posted...

But I'm saying Bernie or Kamal could have won if they didn't drop out.

Bernies support exists soley on reddit. In a general election he's a ghost. I fucking love Sanders. I would vote for him but, he doesn't have a chance.

Clinton still won the popular vote in 2016 despite the Republican war-room going OT on her. I think she could have won had they taken Trump serious.

Maybe not spend billions in letting Israel bomb gaza into dust? Maybe not constantly bending over backwards to appeal to republican voters who will never vote Democrat? Truth is I don't see any way out. Republicans are already controlling the narrative, the youth are increasingly conservative and growing up listening to Andrew Tate and Asmongold and Joe Rogan. The big entertainment corpos are funneling people to alt-right shit.

It's worse because Democrats are absurdly divided. You have the old fucks at the top who want the status quo and no changes; you have the younger guard with no support, no power wanting to change the status quo.

I use it for grammar/spell check. Using chat-bots is an auto F. Anyone with a brain would detect it and fail you.

chaos_knight posted...

Problem is that if we want to save the country, we need to court them back somehow. Schadenfreude is fun for now but there does have to be some forgiveness at some point to fight the real enemy that more are recognizing.

Good news the current Dem leadership are frantically trying to do just that. Meanwhile, Republican's are laughing all the way to the finish line. They will never work with you, they will never vote for you.

Strider102 posted...

Do you want a laundry list of things Trump has done, is doing and will do that literally makes things worse in every way for multiple different issues instead of just one?

LOL deflection. No shit Trump is bad. No fucking shit. You literally can not admit any fault for the democrat's can you? We're so fucking screwed.

Strider102 posted...

No, Trump is our current President. Trump is actively helping because he has plans for Gaza.

So yes, Trump is going to be brought up even if the topic is overall about Biden's response to the same thing, especially when he is far more worse in that regard then Biden was.

How is it even worse? Lol. it's literally being used to silence any criticism. Biden and the Democrats fucked up big time. We're in this mess because of them. Literally fucking hell if people didn't shit on Dems we'd be running fucking Gavin Newsom for Pres in 28. Why is it Democrats are not allowed to be criticized tell me right now.

havean776 posted...

Imagine if they used 1/10 of the energy they use attacking Biden to attack Trump.

Or hell they are so concerned about Palestein than surely Ukraine would matter to them. A small nation being invaded and attacked by a bigger one. Yet I don't recall any of them in the Ukraine topic talking about their thoughts on Putin.

Strange.

Here it is: anyone attacking the Democrats is clearly a MAGA plan/Russian shill. It's almost as if my party needs to be fucking pressured to change.

Sandalorn posted...

No but the person that only cared about Gaza during the past presidency and now doesn't give a shit fucking is. But keep on derping chief.

Lol what? This is the dumbest post yet. Did the IDF pay you? People fucking protest daily about Gaza and guess what? They get disappeared. CE is full of people like you who will never fucking hold the Democrats to a fire. Any criticism "But the Republicans" "VOTE BLUE VOTE BLUE", fuck that. The Democrats aren't much better then the republicans we hate.

Can't criticize the Democrats like ever. it's utterly amazing.

But, the Democrats are the good guys! /s Me thinks the Democrats are only here for the status quo and don't care about actual change. Never have.

Tmaster148 posted...

Just want you to know in case you weren't aware. Trump has been in power for 3 months now. Biden is no longer president.

If you want to keep focusing on the past and giving Trump a pass on anything he does, that's your prerogative.

Welp, guess that means we can never criticize Biden or the Democrats! See ya in 2028 when we get crubstomped by his successor! It's becoming quite clear Democrats aren't just the lesser evil but, the status quo that wanted Trump rather then even remotely budging on Israel or going left.

Meanwhile, Democrats are lining up to cater to Trump.

KnY is good but it's generic as hell. What it does right it does really right. I really appreciate how Tanjiro is not out to be anything important. The later fights against the stronger demons get very intense. Lot of anime losing a limb isn't a big deal but KnY makes it so losing limbs and getting horrific wounds are career ending injuries'.

So Matara got fired from Vshojo.

As someone who follows lolcows like Lowtiergod, Wingsofredemption, and DSP, you have just provided some extremely compelling evidence for why I should ironically watch Asmongold, that sounds way funnier than right wing political takes and him smearing blood from his gums on the walls or whatever that was.

Most of that is him playing a character. He pretends to be a poor homeless person. He's just a right-wing hoarder who plays up everything. His fans unironically love him for this.

Hey, Spirit, https://www.reddit.com/r/saltierthankrayt/comments/1k82m2x/no_improvement_whatsoever/ how do you feel about him saying this?

ReturnOfDevsman posted...

Well, I've definitely heard of this person before.

I suppose I'm supposed to be mad because he/she is always saying dumb political stuff?

He's at the forefront of the culture wars. He's fueling the anti-woke shit.

There's no logical views on Asmon. He's literally forefront of the culture war constantly attacking anything and everything "woke". Asmon wants to dress up like Ash Ketchum and capture illegals so he can deport them. He thinks it'd be fun. The worst part of him is his audience go ballistic over anything and everything woke. They see a non-sexy woman "DEI WOKE!!!!" are spammed endlessly.

Eh, KF aren't MAGA. They hate Trump. But, they hate Jews, Blacks, Mexicans, Asians (asian women are ok), trans, gays, anyone who isn't lock step in line with them. They go beyond just slurs and actively wish to murder trans people and black folk.

KF is always angry.

He doesn't need to be President to y'know run things anyways. He will be kingmaker and any Republican who doesn't play ball will get demolished.

No. There's no legal basis for him to do so. Besides Trump is old as shit now and the rest of his cultists want a successor.

yeah it's still dead, they legit lost everything, the entire site was taken down by those soyjack weirdos if it comes back it's gonna take them months to recover everything and change the coding that's been in place even before it changed owners so it doesn't happen again, a project like that would probably take weeks if not months the people dumb enough to by a 4chan pass were complaining about getting absolutely no contact about refunds or wither or not they had been doxxed as well.

I seriously doubt it. But, 4chan will not stay dead. That site prints money.

She demonstrably was not, else we would not be having this discussion at all and the world would be better off for it.

That said, I blame the strategists and whoever was running ads, more than her in particular.

Not what was said. Try again.

She nearly beat Trump. Despite the republican war machine going overtime against her for the past 20 years and then the Comey report dropped. People act like Hillary was some terrible candidate. Aside from her negatives she ran a poor campaign at the end by underestimating Trump. They thought it'd be an easy victory they had no idea the general public idolized Trump's BS.

AOC has no chance and thats coming from a HUGE AOC fan. I love her but, she would get annihilated in a general election. Being a woman and progressive is the death signal.

America needs a Democrat who put all his stats into Charisma and can cut through the right-wing BS.

I was a discord mod. It sucked because people kept spamming my DMs with gore and shit.

Sanders is a radical socialist with major weaknesses that the Dems went soft on in the primaries but that Trump absolutely would not have. He'd have lost even worse than Hillary and Harris did. Bernie is the sort who appeals to radical campus activists, but not a candidate who would appeal to the middle class uneducated suburban homeowners with mortgages who are the median voters and decide elections
