“We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not.”

That’s gotta be one of the strangest reasonings I’ve heard in a while.

    Look, I can’t keep people from hurting themselves. I will call them morons leading up to and afterwards though.

    Same as I did for dipshits in red states losing maternity wards now. /shrug

        I’m simply reminding people of the reality that either the Dem or Rep will win.

          If you need a group of people to vote for you, you need to get their votes.

          If you have a scapegoat to blame for any loss, you don’t need to do anything to get anyone’s votes. You’d rather have the scapegoat.

            That has nothing to do with what I said.

            You are desperate to say anything except admit I’m right about that simple fact.

              The choice is between Biden and Trump, yes. One of them will win, assuming neither dies of old age before then. I never argued otherwise and don’t intend to start.

              Now that I said the thing that you want, how has that changed the situation? Has that suddenly made this group more likely to vote for Biden?

              You get to pretend you won an argument against someone who wasn’t arguing against the non-point you kept spamming. Congratulations. It’s not me you need to convince. I’m already voting for Biden.

              If you need their votes, you need to secure their votes.

                I think someone just needs to remind them of how Trump literally tried to stop the transfer of power last time and any “recalibration” the Dems might do will mean FUCK ALL if Trump gets his way next time as there might not be another election.

                  They know that now and are leaving anyway.

                  If Democrats don’t adjust before the election, they won’t get these voters back. Call them any name you want, it’ll make you feel better. Make all the dismissals and accusations you want. But none of that will get them back.

                    They’ll regret it.

                    But here we go again. Only way some people learn is by putting their hand back on the hot burner a second time.
