exactly, it’s not been said enough that the “Defund the Police” crowd were right about everything.

Joe Biden increased their funding and nothing was ever done to reign in police abuse, and look how that turned out!

bUt tRumP!! can you guys defend what Biden and Harris did without bringing up Trump?
Ernest Penfold (@penfoldsfiv.bsky.social)
wow, sure sounds like those “centric democrats and left leaning republicans” were purity testing! aren’t you gonna scold them to shut up get in line???
Ernest Penfold (@penfoldsfiv.bsky.social) reply parent
damn, Biden and Harris probably shouldn’t have decided that they preferred a Trump victory over cutting off Israel

One reason for Democrats to ditch their reflex to say "You have a point" to the other side is the right wing hasn't had a good point about anything in most of our lifetimes

yea, there's too many dorks on here like yeah, i stopped posting on twitter because i wasn't having fun there anymore, and have advised that people do the same, but that's there is just dork behavior.

i keep asking the liberals shrieking about purity tests what right that affects them personally are they willing to sacrifice to get a democrat elected. all i can gather from them is that they really don't like when i ask that question.

also to whoever posted me there: look, i get it, you meant well, you tried to break their little circlejerk, but here’s the thing, redditors are stupid as hell. arguing with them is like playing chess with a pigeon, they’ll just shit the board and act like they won!

at least not without sounding like a fucking maniac. i saw some pretty bizarre ones back in 2020 that were like "Joe Biden could rape me and I'd still vote for him!"
Ernest Penfold (@penfoldsfiv.bsky.social) reply parent
lol all the Dems did in '24 was please the center and ignored the left and bragged about how they didn't need the far-left's votes. that clearly didn't work!

if you're gonna purity scold, answer this first: what right that affects you *personally* are you willing to sacrifice to get a democrat elected?

This is a complete misunderstanding of fascism and how it operates. Ofc RFK is in charge of HHS. He’s a eugenicist and culling the parts of the population he considers weak/disposable is a key aspect of the eugenicist/fascist agenda.

well, the thin skinned loser blocked me, but he was posting a NYT article titled "Why the Texas Democrats Walkout Worked" and saying stuff like "yeah we lost, but we lost loudly, and that's great!"

this is like when liberals gushed over RBG’s dissents. like, okay, i get it, you love her dissents but here’s the thing, you still lost! you didn’t win! stop acting like losing is a virtue!

The lesson of the Trump campaigns, and particularly his second term, should be "Wow you can really do anything." Anyone who runs as a Democrat and acts like their hands are regrettably tied is either lying or doesn't have what it takes to win anyway
Ernest Penfold (@penfoldsfiv.bsky.social) reply parent
i gotta say, being told “you have to vote blue if you want your rights protected” only to have them stripped away anyway after voting blue, and having a president too feckless to do anything effective to stop it, not a good look for the dems!
Ernest Penfold (@penfoldsfiv.bsky.social) reply parent
like, people were begging Biden to do something about the attacks on LGBTQ rights in places like FL and TX, but liberals just went “BIDEN HAS ZERO POWER TO HELP YOU. LEARN CIVICS. STOP WANTING A DICTATOR but also VOTE BLUE BECAUSE THE OTHER GUY IS WORSE”
Ernest Penfold (@penfoldsfiv.bsky.social) reply parent
i really do think the “acting like their hands are tied” part is part of the reason why Biden absolutely would have lost in ‘24, and Kamala’s refusal to meaningfully differentiate herself from him sealed her fate.

/r/BlueskySkeets is essentially the Discover tab, only worse because redditors curate it. and they get so fucking MAD if you don't worship Gavin Newsom. and they aren't bound by the 300 character limit so they can just drown you with banality awful subreddit, do not recommend.

Donald Trump has died. He was free basing cocaine with his butthole. Authorities familiar with the case say it will take several weeks to clean up the mess.
