    Democrats have those Super PAC donors to worry about. Corporations didn’t just buy MAGA. Why buy just one political party when you can buy two for twice the price.

    Came across this post for the second time now. Didn’t get it at first but then read in the newspaper that Democrats apparently decided to fight Trump by showing these signs and… wearing pink? That’s just pathetic.

      I forgot who, but someone said it had the same energy as all the rich people singing “Imagine” during the pandemic. Pretty spot on.

      The mildest symbolic gestures, usually accompanied by emails begging donations, while Republicans sledgehammer America.

      To be fair, they do send out a massive number of emails begging for money to fund their losing strategy in the next election.

        The Democrats are fundraising for their next election while the Republicans are cancelling Democracy. It’s so head-in-sand frustrating to watch.

          It makes more sense when you realize that the Democrats primary goal is fundraising, while winning elections is an ancillary benefit. As long as there’s a pretense of free and fair elections, they can function in basically the same manner they have been for the last 30 years.

        Name another party that loses more spectacularly. Gotta build it up so they can burn it down to the ground.
