    I liked Kamala Harris. But getting the Cheneys on her side made me wonder if we were the baddies.

      I’m not a Democrat, so take this with a grain of salt: I think the Democratic leadership are indeed the baddies (just like the Republican leadership). I think most Democratic voters are well-intentioned people, who’ve been suckered into beliving the lies leadership.

      It’s OK to be suckered in. I’ve been suckered into a lot of things. To broadly paraphrase: The best time to realize you’ve been suckered is yesterday. The next best time to realize is today.

        I agree that there’s some of that going on, however given the voting system we use, there’s no real choice.
        We don’t get to vote for a candidate, we have to vote against what we see as the worse candidate.
        This leads to everyone getting stuck with shitty options. This system sucks.

        Ranked Voting ftw.
