    Democratic Political Establishment: “I will slit your throat with a rusted spork if you even think to take my defeat I so rightly stole from victory’s jaws!”

    Like had fours years to prep literally anyone to take Biden’s place, decided “Nah fuck it! We run dementia man!” And then last moment was like “WHAT?! Dementia man not popular? Fuck it, we’ll just select whoever ourselves fuck all those primaries.” $10 says they learn absolute jack shit from this.

      Remember in 2016 when they ran a deeply unpopular woman against trump, who alienated voters by being herself?

      Flash forward to 2024 where they ran a deeply unpopular woman against trump, who alienated voters by being herself.

      The good news is, in 2028, trump won’t be able to run again. So they won’t have the option to run a deeply unpopular woman against trump who alienates voters by being herself.

      …oh god. They’re going to run Elizabeth Warren, aren’t they?

        You are assuming that there will be elections again. I’m not convinced.
