It's really cute watching all the Neolibs pretend like their conservative policies attract the leftists they need to win elections.
Sucking up to a demographic of old white conservative men was not a winning strategy for the Democratic party.

For a second I thought I saw my name and was confused what this had to do with me :-D
I mean you guys elected that asshole..
BlueMAGA is literally Russian propaganda. Anyone who uses the term unironically is a troll.
Liz Cheney
Didn't realize Liz Cheney called herself a democrat
Watch your tone Liz Cheney is a national hero for Democrats https://www.reuters.com/world/us/biden-award-liz-cheney-others-with-presidential-citizens-medal-2025-01-02/
Neither blue or MAGA tbh
Do tell how she ended up on a stage next to Kamala if she was not Blue.
The MAGA part is the denialism from Democrats about it.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Liz Chaney is a staunch opponent of Donald Trump, she is a career politician, and the last of the Grand-Old-Party. In a desperate attempt to stop MAGA from replacing the GOP Liz Chaney aligned herself with Kamila Harris and that's why. I'd argue that makes her a Red Democrat more than a Blue Republican but really that's down to interpretation. I don't think anyone was in denial about why she was being paraded around like neat novelty. These are strange times my dudes.

I was also on the side of vote for Kamala fix it after because with Trump fixing is impossible with Kamala maybe. But whenever I see stuff like
45 Democrats Vote With GOP to Pass Bill Sanctioning ICC Over Netanyahu Warrant
Senate Overwhelmingly Rejects Sanders Resolutions to Block Arms Sales to Israel
it makes me doubt how feasible this approach would be too. Sure Kamala is factors of magnitude better than Trump for the USA, for Ukraine, for LGBTQ people, for women etc. But I can understand a US citizen with roots in the middle east etc not voting for Democrats after seeing disgusting stuff like this.
"PATRIOT Act" passed Senate 98 to 1. Partisanship is for complete morons.
45 out of 215 Democrats voted for that or around 21% vs 90% of Republicans. This means that the crazy option is wildly unpopular and would never pass under a democrat. I'm not seeing the problem here.
45 out of 215 Democrats voted for that or around 21% vs 90% of Republicans.
21% of Democratic voters voting for Republican candidates would be completely unacceptable. Why is it ok for 21% of our representatives to vote for genocide?
Oh right. It's ok when it's the only thing centrists actually want.
And "centrist" in the US really means far right.
