Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Well, you had a shit ton of criticism for the Dems, but you seemed rather quiet about trump. Now you're pushing cautious optimism? You really seem like a shill.
In OP's defense, the description here is the subheading for the article. Thus me saying
You know why I don't criticize Trump?
Because he's Trump.
The enemy has no reason to listen to your criticism. They're the enemy. That's one of the reasons they are the enemy.
I'm going to criticize the people on my side that do everything they can to lose, and criticize them when they try to appeal to the enemies base to win by moving closer to the enemies position.
Nothing about this is hard to understand, and I think the only reason you pretend not to is to lessen legitimate criticism against the people on your side that did all of that and then still lost
The people responsible for that loss? The campaign consults and contractors that drove the decisions that lead to this loss got most of the astoundingly large amounts of money the Harris campaign raised, and are trying to make sure they get more by getting hired again.
These are the people you are protecting with your arguments. It's not LGBTQ people. It's not minorities.
You're protecting the people who got paid large amounts of money to do one job, win the election. And they don't want to be blamed for the loss.
And thus you go around calling other people shills, which is just ironic.
I hate Trump and the GOP. F them. I've said it plenty of times. I've also said plenty of times I'm not a Democrat. I'm far left.
Just weird how people think you are despite never once saying anything positive about Trump other than "his stupidity is funny".
Well, your criticism of the GOP wasn't as much as the criticism of them dems. Or at least tor didn't show up as often.
Not only that but you pushed third party shit right up until the election.
You gonna start up with that again?
