Well, they're proud now. In the time we have left.
The Democrats have constantly misread the situation very badly. For the typical voter, not the bourgeois liberals, not the MAGA brain-rotted dummies but the average poor working class voter the choice was:
Vote Liberal Bourgeois and maybe things might tick along for another couple of years with the rich bourgeois liberals profiting off you and telling you how good you've got it
Vote Trump, you'll definitely be fucked but all the bourgeois liberals will be fucked as well.
I mean sanity suggests that the first offer meets the self-preservation criteria better but it's not what you call an attractive offer, is it?
The "offer" was sane, competent, if not luxury-gay-space-communism government vs. chaos, insanity, and death.
That was the "offer".
luxury space capitalism for the rich; the global south (especially the gazans) were never intended to be with us in the future and the democrats proved it.
