The only "The Onion" rather than "Not The Onion" part of this is the idea that they would announce it.

MODERATORS
Local opinion piece:

I read it because of the title, but it's just some shithead that wants them to move further right:
This red wave wasn’t as much about embracing Donald Trump as it was repudiating far-left progressivism.
[...], and then foisted upon us an equally unqualified and unpalatable hard left alternative.
They are already creating the groundwork for sucking more corporate dick.
How can this be a rejection of the far left when Harris campaigned as a moderate (e.g. Cheney)? If republican voters are going to think Democrats are communist regardless of how moderate the Democrats are, maybe moderating isn't a good strategy. If the only choice is between right-wing and lite right-wing, right-wing voters will choose the real thing. Even then, Trumpists will still call democrats communists.
Many left polices are popular when they aren't labelled as left

Reminds me of that joke about how there are only two races: White, and political. It's disheartening to see folks (some here on Lemmy) confusing listening to the concerns of brown-skinned people with leftism. The Arab-Americans in Michigan, for a relevant example, are just people with a range of political opinions like the rest of us.

The electoral college did a great job once again. Everyone please raise your butts as they come out fucking. We want them to enjoy this moment. And let's all look and act terrified as they penetrate us once more. Let's trust that they will vote for the candidate they think we need next time too.

wouldnt matter if they did learn from it if the crap trump campaigned on goes through and he becomes a "king" in this country
Oh they learned their lessons:
- blame minorities
- shift further right
Oh they know how to win. They just don't want to. The policy decisions that would lock in Dem control for generations to come run counter to the goals of DNC Services Corp. Because they're a corp.
