vote for people who seem good
they flip to terrible people immediately
get told should have voted harder to get anything helpful done
I wish.
The people aren't even making the effort to seem good.
The literal current message of the democratic party is "fuck you were going to keep doing whatever the fuck we want. We know you don't like it but what are you going to do, let trump win?"
Trump is a massive asset for the democrats because they're literally using him as a gun to take their own voters hostage.
yeah. fetterman was the last one to get a big media push like "hey look at this guy he's progressive or whatever" and even with him it was a pretty thin veneer. Now he's one of the worst
Honestly Fetterman is about the one person I can think of recently (Sinema last election cycle) that actually did try to pretend to be halfway decent before doing a heel turn and literally telling his voters to go fuck themselves.
Hopefully it works as well for him as it did for her and hes a pariah for a couple years before being primaried by 40 points.
cant believe i was somewhat excited that he'd got in at the time, feel sort of ashamed of it now
history has unfortunately shown that the safest bet when considering whether any american politician will be good is a flat "nope"
