    We’re entering all-out cultural war. The divide between left and right is irreparable and inconsolable, thanks to Mr. “No more wars”

    The right is angry that the left doesn’t feel sympathy for their favorite dead Nazi and will use every tool they can to shut it down, but will then turn around and praise actual political violence against anyone left of Goebbels. The left dreams of existing as a developed, functioning society but has to put up with a violent narcissistic ex in the same apartment who blames them every time they punch another hole in the wall (“look what your trans friend made me do!”). Centrists think the abuser and the victim just “have to talk it out” and will turn a blind eye to continued abuse. There’s no coming back from this divide, we’re so fucked as a species

      This is rather generous to Democrats and does not give them enough credit for how much they have failed America in all of this.

      The same people are still in charge and will fail us again if they get a chance which apparently they will. Unwilling and unable to be popular enough. Their reason for being lies and crushing any popular reformers that spring up.

      Not like an abused wife at all. Like a couple of dirty cops playing a good cop bad cop routine.

          Great advice, let us wait until it’s too late to do anything about it so these guys are in charge and 2028! Gavin Newsom here we come! Do you seriously not get the situation we are in?

            All you’re going to do is get another Nazi in office by encouraging people sto sit at home just like happened last time

              So it is our fault for not believing hard enough! Don’t let any number of half wits convince you you have a sensical argument here. Any group of reasonable people would ridicule you to your face.

              And I scoff at it as well. We knew what the Republicans were, yet they were allowed to run as status quo three presidential elections in a row, offering zero real reform and more plutocratic rot while Republicans promised retribution to the rich that are ass fucking us without our consent.

              What the fuck did you think was going to happen? Seriously, you should rethink your sources of information if you believe that at this time. Like holy shit.

                I didn’t read this. I’m so done with BoTh SiDeS. It’s precisely why fascism took this country.

                  You think fascism took over because nobody would pretend like the Democrats were good enough, when fascism took because the Democrats failed to offer popular reform. Get the fuck out of here.

                    Democrats suck 87% of the time but this delusion that we can pretend our way out them being our only non-fascist option is… A delusion
