There’s a lot of “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good” posts citing Manchin “only” voting with Trump 55% of the time and crying about purity tests.

True.

As do I. He got dropped from one dept because he is ill suited to the job, yet after the inevitable disaster on his new job (his murdering a child), he is only fired because he failed to disclose shit which could have been easily found much earlier if they’d fucking cared to look?

At least you appear to know Republican women who were disgusted by this. Way too many angrily defend Kavanaugh, and those poor defenseless men in general, and will be ecstatic about this. 

They’re in denial, those women

Congrats 53% White Women Trump Lovers. Enjoy the political sexual harassment to your civil liberties to come, you grabbed pussies, you. 

I think this is the final straw for me. I haven’t had much hope for a while, but now I honestly believe that the American system is irrevocably broken and cannot be fixed through electoral politics. It is time for California to secede. It is time for many states to secede. The American experiment has failed. Time to…

How about you put that on a sign and take it down to the next protest and see how helpful people think it is. They obviously fucking voted with the majority and are furious that it didn’t count for shit. 

That’s not how a democracy works, that’s how a dictatorship works.

Oh, come on now. They're just following orders.

Scumbags arresting peaceful demonstrators to ensure the representative government doesn’t have to hear from the people they’re supposed to be representing.

It’s a lot

Every dumb, smug schmuck in here saying some variation of “BUT WHAT COULD THEY DO” is both 1) a perfect summation of why the Democrats are truly fucked and 2) lacking in imagination in the same way the (ostensible) left party is, a lack of imagination that will doom the very people they claim to protect. You people…

Notice how those two come from two of the rust belt states Trump flipped? Still so fucking embarrassing. Hillary didn’t campaign even close to enough in those states. Can’t understand it to this day.

Shut the fuck up, you longwinded blowhard. You are wrong. Mirkinson is right.

The Democrats would be in power if they weren’t spineless, disconnected, feckless tools who are too busy sniffing their own farts to realize they have been getting their asses whipped for 10 years. Stop blaming the people who came out to vote despite not liking their choices.

If I recall three million more voted for Hillary in 2016. But I guess it’s their fault for not living in Michigan and Wisconsin.

As yourself, where was the minority leader in all of this? You were satisfied with his performance over the last four months?

This is Hillary Clinton’s fault and any of you bootlicking cretins who wants to lay this at the feet of progressive voters can line up here to kiss my entire ass.
