You could be smart enough to say "fuck you" to the mainstream Dem candidates early in the campaign.
The dumbass other half fears "the establishment" to the degree of going to dotards, coachfuckers and antivaxxers. Removing "the establishment" from your side could make them fear those more.
So the part about dumb, dumb motherfuckers can be arguably addressed to almost all of you, my cowboy friends.
Especially those saying that "the perfect is the enemy of the good" and people should vote for Harris instead of someone like Bernie or someone like Larry Lessig or who not.
Congratulations your disingenuous bullshit helped destroy America
I'm not an American voter.
My bullshit before the election usually involved saying that you still have to vote for Harris.
I'd say the media bullshit about the support of candidates, that communicated the wrong picture to Americans deciding whether to vote, has contributed much more than anything I ever wrote.
No reason to panic. It's just 4 more years, and then another election. Usually when someone promises you massacres and other bad things, you believe them, but not in this case - you've elected people who've never followed up on their promises.
I live in Russia, so you had it coming for the older disingenuous bullshit about Russia being "just an imperfect democracy" and Putin being better than some imagined unholy alliance of communists and neo-Nazis.
Point 4 may be wishful thinking
True. But I can't feel scared by that, comparing it to point 5.
