It's one thing for folks like us to just say that to each other, but people in positions of power should not make that sort of apathy public. That's my opinion, st least. I'm emotionally preparing for a Trump victory, but I'm still going to vote against him and encourage my friends to do the same.

Definitely. When you are in their position you have that hopelessness in the comfort of your private spaces but do your best to drum up fire and fight publicly.

Yeah the moment they started publicly doubting Biden no amount of "well just shut up and vote" was going to fix that and undo the damage that is done.

If we hadn't had literally instant internal party panic we could have made it through that but now we absolutely need to change tactics.

They need to stop talking about how this sucks or how we lose but how we rise and play the fucking game like it means something but it's hard to get 80 year old narcissists who want just a little bit more to ever do anything else other than what they want.
