[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 child) Never doubt the Democrats' ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. permalink fedilink source hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 days ago I’m about 98% sure this will happen. They’re already busy turning a blue tsunami into a blue wave with their incessant pandering to concern trolls over Israel’s literal genocide, and many cant help but take the bait on repugnantcon trans issue framing even though it’s so fucking easy to just say “trans rights are human rights.” I guess I wouldn’t mind being proven wrong, just to have the opportunity to criticize them further when they spend the next 2 years failing to impeach and convict anyone. Either way, I’m blackpilled af on American prospects at this point. If we get rid of FPTP and electoral college so that 3rd parties become viable, things might begin to change. Until then…it will be further decline while the capitalist vultures continue circling. permalink fedilink source parent
