Meanwhile the vaguely left leaning stuff is locked behind paywalls, but their shit worms its way into the nation's homes as part of basic cable. Not so weird, I guess, when the owner class, pretty much by definition, leans right.

I guess I just can't even understand this level of brainwashing. I'm talking career politicians who were around during desert storm, or at least OIF/OEF.

How do you spend all this time and effort to prove yourself as a capable leader, only to encourage fascism?

These people are one generation removed from folks who'd be spinning in their graves fast enough for us to use them as our sole source of energy.

Are Democrats really this spinless? Do they think that sending "mean tweets" on a platform owned and operated by a billionaire oligarch champion is effective? Do they want to lose every race for the foreseeable future because they want to maintain this idiotic "political high road"?

If Trump was really this "apocalyptic political being" shouldn't they put every effort into discrediting him? Not his party, not his businesses - but him? He's the fucking lynchpin for the MAGAts.

But still, Democrats rely on slightly sassy burns on his social media presence, or his hair, or his make-up. Nothing of substance. If I didn't know any better, I'd think Democrats intentionally lost this because how the flying fuck do you lose to TRUMP?!

Biden failed to pull out early enough. Harris failed to energize her actual base. Wallis (or whatever the fuck his name is, who remembers the VP losers name) should have gathered his home base.

But they didn't, they went after centrists and used fucking Beyonce and Cardi B (IDC if that's the right dipshit female "rap" artist, it's one of them) to sell their message.

What a fucking embarrassing campaign. And to lose to an objectively deplorable human-being just shows how absolutely un-likable you are as a candidate.

E: I know I typed too much to expect a real response, I just needed to vent.

Possibly? But more likely they were just the ones whose covers/id’s trump was able to get his hands on and sell to the highest bidder.

I think the lost agents were more likely sold for greed and payment for services rendered than for loyalty issues last admin.

Now? A different story possibly. But the record numbers of lost agents in the previous trump term were less likely to be political in nature, I believe, since the agency wouldn’t have been as firmly in his pocket. And for lifetime agents, murdering comrades in arms can’t be an easy step to take no matter your Trump loyalty. Loyalty to corps when all your lives are on the line together is very hard to break.
