Being whiny bitches who can’t shake their opponents hand or whatnot isn’t going to help and makes us look petulant instead of serious, which may diminish the effectiveness of pointing out serious future transgressions.

Trump can incite a riot to attempt to overthrow democracy but Democrats are the ones who want to avoid looking petulant? Fuck off.

And since when has Democrats pointing out serious transgressions EVER done anything but make them say “cry harder, lib?”

Clearly voters don't want an adult in the room, so Democrats need to stop acting like it.

Either democracy is dying or they lied about democracy dying to get votes and it didn't fucking work.

And how does stupid shit like refusing a photo opp while transferring power help us in any way?

Remember, Dems just lost the popular vote, the people aren't with us. I'd argue this was at least in part because in 2016 we also took trump's bait every time and screamed fascism at every stupid thing he said. And the vast majority of voters remember that, right, there were free and fair elections two years and four years after.

Maybe of screaming until people tune us out again, we can approach this one halfway seriously?

You're right. We should be friends with fascist, racist, rapist, xenophobes and take smiling pictures with them.

Fuck off. I'm not treating fascists with any more civility than my grandfather showed them in France in '44.

If I had a photo op with Trump he'd have a broken fucking nose.

And if Democrats are gonna play nice with these assholes then it just shows I shouldn't be a Democrat.
