Dems spend 8 years doing nothing but screeching about how singularly evil this one individual is to the exclusion of all other messaging

Dems nominate the only person in the world loathed enough to lose to this bozo twice by completely dismantling the democratic process, the second time by nominating someone who 70% of voters have been saying is too fucking old for the last 12 months

Aforementioned fossil who is badly losing to Trump refuses to step aside because he's the same megalomaniacal dickhead he has been all his life, removing all democratic means of preventing the ascent of the aforementioned singularly evil individual

Truly we will never understand the motive

who-did-this

Hillary is also loathed tbh. Second choice gone.

Downvoters fail to explain as always

I don't see down votes on hexbear dot net 😎

So I can have bad takes with impunity

The score is +39/-4 but yeah I know y'all can't see them

Actually, I think I get where the downvoters are coming from. If it were a regular lib, sure, but we've seen the gulag level takes this person had. Why would such a conservative person believe the Dems in just this case?
