I dont understand the liberals love for failures. Like Harris, and Clinton both failed miserably and yet it's never framed as their fault. They're treated by liberals like people deserving of respect. It's just strange. Has anyone ever asked her why she thinks her opinion on what should be done going forward is valid when she has never won a national election?

Liberals will call one party states undemocratic and authoritarian, but get upset when you don’t vote for Democrats because they’re “the only ones capable of defeating fascism” and everyone else is a distraction or op. Of course they also have no intention, rhetorically or politically, to punish or outlaw Republicans and other right wing components of society.

I’m not saying outlawing the right wing makes them go away, but the liberals have actively advocated for Republicans to be in power and have told other Republicans to “wake up” and take back the party from Trump.

Essentially the voters are exhausted, but the party sees this and can’t risk being required to actually work or rock the boat, so it whips the voters back into line.

It has been said that the Republicans are bad cops and the Democrats are good cops. In addition to that, I would also add on that the Democrats are HR for the company of Capital. Whether or not they truly despise their conservative coworkers for being despicable human beings who make the work environment hostile and unsafe, they exist to protect the company, not the employees.

I prefer it as the Democrats being bad cops, and the Republicans being gibbering eldritch horrors made of graft and howling for blood cops.

The Democrats threaten, the Republicans rampage while stealing everything that's not nailed down.

"Good cops" in that game would be something like socdems, offering a healthcare burger if you fall in line and cooperate with the prison of capitalist society.
