@atomicpoet Mr. Biden supported genocide for 207 weeks, and negotiated a ceasefire for 1 week. And suddenly, 80M people didn't vote for his designated replacement. And that's their fault? THOSE DARN IDEALISTIC LEFTIES.
The DNC is out of touch with the people they relied on for votes. They catered to their donors, and browbeat their voters. And their formula failed so badly in 2025 that they lost to a convicted felon.
You can complain about the election results now, but it won't change the situation.
Any DNC grand plan to unfuck the world that Trump and his shitheads are fucking up? Or can we safely ignore the DNC while we deal with the immediate problems?
@atomicpoet I'm a lefty and I held my nose and voted for Harris - more fool me.
But that no longer matters, and Harris and Walz have fucked back off to where ever. There are real problem right now. Now what?
If the Dems want to be useful, they'd best show some fucking leadership. Now or never, if they want to not be the next Dixiecrats and Know-Nothings and Whigs and Bull Moose on the trash heap of failed US political parties.
@atomicpoet No, I assume that there must be opposition *now*.
Weird that you don't assume that Democrats should lead it.
@grumble209 I assume nothing. I’m a Canadian who must now contend with a mess you folks started. And so does the rest of the world.
So thanks for that.
@atomicpoet Oh, well, yeah. Weird that I couldn't tell a non-citizen from a DNC apologist.
You and Canada aren't fucked yet, but I assume your fucking is in the mail and will arrive anon. The good news is I don't recall Austria being firebombed in WW2 - you might do OK. Please welcome my fellow Americans when they start fleeing there.
@grumble209 I guess you don’t keep up with the news then.
Canada is fucked, and it’s because you elected Trump.
@atomicpoet Bummer. I'll miss Coffee Crisp.
@grumble209 See, it’s this joking tone that makes me realize you think Canada is a joke.
@atomicpoet It's always difficult to know where the actions of a government diverge from the consent of the governed.
If US voters are to blame for the evil of Trump, then Canadian voters are going to be blamed for whatever evil infects your government.
Or, if the evil of Trump is so all-powerful that Canada is doomed through no fault of its own, then US voters who didn't vote for Trump are victims, too.
Or, maybe we're all just doing the best that we can and enduring what we must. All I know is those Quebecois who unionized and pissed off Bezos are my heroes this month.
And, seriously, I've always enjoyed my visits to Canada, in particular the O'Keefe and the Coffee Crisp and those slabs of McIntosh toffee. Assuming my passport still works in a couple of months, maybe I should take a drive through the Okanogan this spring.
