a big chunk of the left spent years in the expectation of complaining about the dems being corporate shills for four to eight more years and then trump rolled in on the fascism train and they haven't adapted yet, half the takes are still 'look we know trump is basically Mussolini but DEMS R STILL BAD GUUS' and they're kinda right but we have bigger problems rn

The reason why criticizing democrats is important is because the dems need to get better at politics if they want to stop Trump. Like dude I was a loving ride or die hillaryman and what converted me was the fact the democrats are just so loving incompetent. It's not about being shills or whatever the gently caress it's the fact that Robby Mook the guy who caused the dem disaster in 2010 WAS ALLOWED TO loving RUN A CAMPAGIN

chapo in general hasn't aged super well.

Not the time for irony bros

None of the election commentary has aged well because it was, top to bottom, a big ol' primary slapfight based on the assumption that the only argument worth having was who deserved to be the one to drop the guillotine on Trump. Sure that poo poo seemed important and soulful at the time but in hindsight it's like having an argument over whether the deck chairs are more comfortable on the Titanic or the Hindenburg.

he strongly implied it was Literally The Jews doing it and it turned out to be a very crazy man who is not really religious in any way as far as i can tell

he didn't really call it correctly at all

not that that'll keep him from trying to take credit for it anyway

have we lost track of the issue that there is in fact more than one person in our country capable of doing threatening things toward Jews

This one crazy dude is not the sole cause of all American anti-semitism.

This guy wasn't also, say for example, going to Jewish cemeteries, knocking over tombstones, and spraypainting swastikas while yelling "IT'S ME, #WHITEGIRL FRANCESCA"

There are just some careers where no matter how bad or how many times you gently caress up people still kick down the door trying to hire you. I'll never understand how that works.

Just look how long people kept letting Peter molyneux make video games.

at some point you'll get dragon shouts that can bring a dragon down from the sky or whatevs so u dont have to go chasing across whiterun

but I was very selective with my dragon shouts, cos rp purposes I was a Breton Vampire who slowed down time with high illusion magic so I could feast on whatever poor soul came across my way :q:

I agree with all of this. The Dems are really good at the inside baseball stuff but they are terrible with messaging to actual voters.
