The proliferation of competing mutually incompatible standards.

You act like it is the Democratic parties responsibility to inoculate against all the problems the Republicans created.

I mean, if they want young people to vote for them, yeah. Of course, given their actions they don't want young people to vote for them.

The conservatives lost because the Democratic Party did their policies better than they could

I mean, that's great if your only objective is to move to the right. And in centrists' case, it is.

You really can't fathom that treating young people with respect and listening to their concerns will keep them from falling for lies in the first place?

I guess courting anyone but decrepit old racist boomers is completely foreign to centrists, and it explains every last one of their policies.

And meanwhile, the message they get from Democrats is "fuck off you don't vote." Who are then surprised when they fuck off.

"We're not going to listen to you because you don't vote."

"Wait! Why are you voting for someone we don't like?"

"What do you mean, 'we should have listened'? We didn't listen because you don't vote!"

Centrists are happy to have a cudgel to use against progressives, even if it means they have to support genocide to wield it.

Isn't this just Reagan's "Star Wars" program under a different name?

I mean, it is unexpected. Usually they want to change nothing when it doesn't fit their agenda.

I'll admit I'm wrong when it happens.

So I won't have occasion to.

Like hell they will. Democrats won't kill the thing that lets them call obstruction "incrementalism."

They didn't just close the Waffle House. They boarded up the Waffle House.

It's a panel. Let's say some parent takes their kid there.

The parent is either:

• Cool with the kid seeing what they're about to see and won't make a fuss
• Oblivious to what fandom their kid is interested in because "phone" and "babysitter" are synonyms to them, but they're about to find out.
• A Christian hyperkaren deliberately bringing their kid to an adult panel because they want to freak out and go to the press and nucleate a moral panic that will result in death threats for many of those involved.

You're a panelist. Do you moderate your language and behavior because there's kids present, or do you take the risk and give the audience what they signed up for?

She who dies with the most bones, wins.

Do you think the donation will somehow make the University of Chicago more conservative?

Corporations are a fucking curse.

Yeah, but it's something they don't want to be confronted with, so...

Colin Powell died in 2021. What does he have to do with the contradictory reports you made up to claim that Blinken saw?

just giving you facts.

"They had contradictory reports" isn't facts, it's fanfic.

Boomer centrists know what a search engine is, but since Chappell Roan didn't endorse, and voting isn't good enough, so they're like "Who? I never heard of her! She must not be very important if she doesn't agree with me 100% on my terms!"

Centrists can't imagine people being frustrated with their decades of obstruction and sliding to the right.

So people should just vote and stfu about any nuance within a party they disagree with?

Of course not. That's helping Trump win. You have to overwhelmingly support everything the party does at all times, especially the stuff you disagree with.
