Should've changed their mascot from a donkey to lemmings. I hate this spineless party so much. The cowering and mass hysteria is embarrassing. Once a person buckled, the whole house of cards come down. Their reactionary doomer hysteria Op-Eds today are worse than Biden's actual debate performance. Literally not a whole lot of people outside the media/politics pundit bubble actually care that much. Majority of people literally didn't bother to tune in. I'm actually baffled how the Dems is a functioning major political party, they were carried by Obama for 8 years and barely managed to win an election against the most incompetent president in history in the middle of pandemic where thousands of people die everyday. Like actually try to stand up for your principles, yuck. Libs deserve everything coming to them, the problem is they are dragging us and the whole planet down with their incompetence.

Being a tankie is like having the "They Live" glasses permanently glued on

Usually what I see is this sense of noble, aloof resignation; a lie makes it halfway around the world before the truth gets out of the starting block, woe is me for having the burden of recognizing the truth from the lies.

What libs fail to recognize is that lies are not dished out arbitrarily, they’re done for a conviction, a value, to signify to a base that its needs are seen and being addressed. It doesn’t matter if Trump overstates the number of annual illegal border crossings because the point isn’t the specifics, it’s communicating to people anxious about foreigners, “I am looking out for you.” Libs fail at this because they think the abstract concept of “Truth” is a value unto itself and that conviction/base bit is icky politics. So it gets treated like getting a question right on a current events quiz.

How do western chauvinists live with this.

They've been screaming that Trump will literally end american democracy for 8 years and they haven't stopped. Last nights debate wasn't anything new from Trump. And they learned the hard way that pointing out his lies doesn't do shit to stop him. Seeing their champion, who's supposed to save democracy, blue-screen on stage, however. That scared the fuck out of them.

His lies don't even register to me, because it's typical conservative nonsense.

Democratic lies are much more insulting to me

I assume that it'll probably take at least a few days to work out an exhaustive list, but yeah if you were the new york crimes you'd think you could maybe put your in-progress article on the front page.

Underrated comment.
