It struck me as wanting to be salty, and wanting to yell at someone else about the problems. both the Democrats and the Republicans have been lying to the poor for decades, but the Democrats kinda sorta feel bad about it. it's that ambivalence that has left them crushed and despondent. IT'S FUCKING STUPID. There are so many more poor people in the United States than rich people, so if they want power fuckin' rally behind the fuckn' poor people. I'm almost willing to give them a bye over the fact that it used to be hard to scare up individual donors and if you're looking for whales you're looking for the rich by definition but fuckin' Bernie Sanders. The Democrats should have been just as gobsmacked by Bernie Sanders as the Republicans were by Trump but instead of going "oh shit we have lost our base" they went "it's Hillary's turn damn the torpedoes full speed ahead" and here we were, living in fear of Twitter.
I'll buy that. I'm starting to hate the Democratic party a lot. And also gullible moron liberals a lot. All these lessons to be learned and all the leadership give a fuck about is Al Franken. If anyone should be resigning it should be their entire leadership team.
The New York Times had a telling breakdown. Of Republicans polled, 53% gave a fuck about sexual harassment allegations. Of Democrats, 77%. If I were a Republican operative, I'd observe that my 53% are 100% of the people I'm likely to lose before long anyway while the Democrats can't afford to piss off three quarters of their constituency. It's really fucking scary that the Republicans are kinda willing to let things go Jedi v. Sith, with themselves as the Sith.
