I don't get how libs can tolerate being taken for granted like this. They're not being mature or practical - they're accepting mistreatment by an establishment sworn to serve them.

Trump and his supporters aren't better, but at least he's telling them what they want to hear. He at least made sure to get checks out to people and had his signature stamped on them.

I dunno, at least there's a strategy there. And Biden has had four fucking years and he's done nothing to get people motivated to vote or even register to vote. Not even going into his participation in genocide, it's just a lack of strategy to the point of self-sabotage.

And the entire Democratic party is complicit in all of it. It's like they want to lose, because all I'm hearing are about how bad trump is/was. And it's like, I was fucking there. And after three years, all they can offer is to give him a verbal reprimand and coverage on every major news network, speech, and social media posting.

It's just mind-blowing to think of the wasted time and energy on the part of the US political system.

Just like the Bourbons upon their restoration, the restored Democrats learned nothing and forgot nothing. They almost treat their right to votes and government as privileges granted by some secular divinity, more important than any currents of popular opinion.

Now I guess we wait to assess how cyclical their failing is this time around. Will it be different given the world we live in now is not the world as it was in 2017?

Yeah, though the civic religion is either dying right now or transforming to survive.
