re: #73 Anymouse 🌹🏡😷

I wound up on a bunch of block lists when someone was whinging “DO SOMETHING!!!uno£!$!” with his “bully pulpit.” I responded exactly how the bully pulpit doesn’t work, getting a “well, why vote for him then?”

I stuck wondering if what they want is a left version of Trump, or this is rodent copulation trying to depress voter turnout.

Then there’s the Democratic Socialist types from very safe districts trying to promote other candidates, whilst Democratic Socialists here vote strategically. (Nebraska’s DSA is in an “all hands on deck” mode trying to prevent Trump, and oust Sens. Fischer and Ricketts. That doesn’t include supporting third-party candidates.)

They do, they really do. That was largely why they loved Bernie, because he promised them the same “I’ll do what I want and Congress will obey or get out of the way” attitude if he was elected. The reality is that both extremes of the spectrum want the same thing: An American King, the only difference being what policies said king puts in place.
