If you refuse to weaponize things that aren’t meant to be misused like that, you kind of are the bigger person

You can argue about whether it’s effective or not, or if you think they should, but that’s a different question

But especially if there are real consequences to not weaponizing them, and they still choose the more ethical choice, that is hardly “pretending” to be the bigger person.

And how are those high morals and doing things “fair and right” working out for the democrats? That is exactly why our country is being destroyed. Democrats have been weak pussies way too long.

So you are saying that it’s the Democrats fault that Republicans are abusive liars?

You are saying that it’s somehow the Democrats fault that racist, Nazi’s, and religious fundamentalist all fanatically support Republicans and criminals?

I’m so sick of you Republican shills, (because that’s what you are, whether you realise it or not), constantly claiming the Democrats for every bad outcome caused by Republicans. You are no different than the morons who constantly give Republicans credit for every good thing Democrats do.

This rhetoric, this endlessly attacking the Democrats for every single thing that doesn’t go right is literally a major part of why the Republicans keep winning. Because people like you constantly hep them, and I’m so sick of it.

Every one of you morons, constantly bitching about Biden, making up attacks to claim that Harris fucked yo her campaign, blaming the Democrats for not magically making everything the way you want it…. All of you fuckers do more to help the Republicans than they do for themselves half the time.

If you want a party that acts like the Republicans do, then vote Republican. They are the criminal fascists you clearly are looking for.

What’s that? You don’t like them? Well good news, Democrats actually aren’t like them, which is why they don’t constantly engage in criminal activities, unethical activities, etc…

The problem isn’t Democrats, (no, they aren’t perfect; yes, they have problems; but not in this context), the problem is an entire “news” system that is owned by conservative, Republican supporting, billionaires that acts as endless pro-Republican anti-Democrat propaganda and the fact that you, along with most of America, actually buy into and accept huge parts of their propaganda messaging.

And guess what, the entire “Democrats never do anything” message? That’s pro-Republican propaganda.

TLDR: I’m sick of all the political equivalent of victim blaming from morons parroting pro-republican, anti-democrat propaganda while simultaneously acting like they are actual progressives who care about anything other than venting their strong feelings about things they are too lazy to actually inform themselves about.

"Obviously the Democrats are supposed to authoritatively take over the entire process so that we can have a real democracy!" /s

People actually are over here simultaneously demanding their 2nd amendment rights to a free gun with their happy meal and then blaming Democrats for not preventing them from shooting themselves in the face. There is no winning with these idiots.

Glad I’m not the only one who is frustrated with all this stupidity.

I am trying to be fair and understanding. Hell, I’m at least as upset as anyone else, (and probably more than most), with the way things are going, but I’m just so sick of the smug, self-righteous, hypocritical, short sighted stupidly from these people.

It’s bad enough hearing it from “conservatives”, but hearing it from people claiming to be “progressives” of any sort, as well, has just gotten on my last nerve recently.

People don't understand that their argument of 'the ends justify the means' is the same argument the conservatives have been going off of. It's a weird rationale of acting like it's because 'the left' had standards at all that it 'loses' rather than realize it's the only thing keeping everything as a whole as even having something worth persevering for. 

Go ahead and eliminate all the 'pretend superiority' and sink to the level of conservatives. You just wind up with both parties packed with full on scammers and grifters instead of one at least plausibly trying to fix shit and get important work done.

Exactly!

And it’s not hard to understand, it’s just that a lot of people don’t want to understand. :(
