Voting against a anti-abortion or gay rights candidate for a pro-choice and pro rights candidate? Heh, no thanks! haven't you heard? They are both sinners in my eyes.

voting for an anti-abortion and gay rights candidate on grounds the other guy is more anti-abortion and gay rights, though, is cool and good

wave hello, Tim Kaine

I think anyone invested enough to experience "emotional exhaustion" from the campaign probably voted

nah

there are plenty of people who got extremely tired of being told they had to give a poo poo about this or that latest story about how a vote for the other party is a vote for hitler.

that right there's emotional exhaustion; your capacity to care has been wholly exhausted. neither of these people are going to help you in any way. why give a poo poo.

So it's the Democrats fault Republicans are capable of fabricating lies?

that they chose to push the version most susceptible to those lies, out of the illusion that health insurance companies would have their back in exchange for doing so, is most definitely their fault

it turns out accepting failure is an unproductive strategy for progress

There's no policy that can exist where a lie can't be told about it. Are you capable of understanding that?

Just consider how often Republicans lie about canadas healthcare.

indeed. so choosing to deliberately make healthcare policy worse, for fear republicans might say mean things about it, is a hopelessly pointless act of cowardice.

which should be punished.

This thread gives me a newfound respect for Republicans who at least understand the basic causality between winning elections and implementing policy.

in that when they win elections, they attempt to implement policy

as opposed to democrats, whose immediate reaction on acquiring power is to try to come up with excuses for why implementing policy would be too haaaaard

remember, kids, vote for democrats, on behalf of the dreamers!

*obligation runs in precisely one direction, democrats will still hurl brown people into the meat grinder in the name of convenience, anyone who complains about this is just being Insufficiently Realist
