Yet another reason to root for Spain today.

This was my exact thought process. Someone is going to make a list and try to pull a donor list from democrats in Congress who are already too spineless to stand up to Biden.
I was legitimately thinking about donating to Trump's campaign or even take a picture of my mailed ballot showing I voted for him. Just to buy time.
The key is to do everything possible to keep the target off your back to get in a better situation. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.
Bernie has to have a humiliation kink.
I guarantee you a lot of dems will give out their small donor list to save their skin.
It will be like the purge, but with libs falling over each other trying to sacrifice each other to Trump's regime first. All to buy time to get out or survive the terror of his rule.
If dems are this spineless to a senile Biden with a god-awful hand (Nate Silver had a decent article on this) , then imagine what they will do when Trump is in office with unlimited power.
I could absolutely see these politicians giving up their donor lists to give a list of potential dissenters to target if it means saving themselves.
Just FYI to anyone who has donated to libs in the past.
I just read that in a muffled voice, like if Joe Bidens head was between his ass cheeks.
Yes,
He's acting like a delusional Shakespearen villain and will meet their common fate if he doesn't get his head out of his ass.
"Hunter convicted? Thank God he isn't on the ballot, I'd never vote for him!"
I love it when a snarky neolib gets put in their place lol.
Remember the insufferable snarkiness after his conviction, where libs went "I'd never vote for Hunter! Thank God he's not on the ticket houhouhou 😏"
Well....
Watching the Dems fight is like watching a family fight over a senile parents car keys and (more importantly) future estate.
This is where people get the meanest. The convention is going to get ugly AF.
"it was already decided!" - says the staffer pulling a Sam Bankmen-Fried on lying to shareholders/donors to keep their job.
As you can tell by my username, I lived in West Texas. Not the cool part, the shitty panhandle part. Going to college really opened my eyes, being an environment that has support. I really appreciated the lack of hierarchy my small high school had; it was incredibly segregated between the rich white girls and their assholes boyfriends, and all the Hispanic kids. I lost 90 lbs in undergrad.
What got me out of being a lib was Hillary Clinton stans being snarky when talking anything regarding policy. I was a bit too young for 2008, but my sister was older and I remember her telling me how absolutely nasty they were. I saw it in 2016.
Trump was obvious a big role in making Twitter shit, but the Hillary Clinton stans snarkiness really turned me off of that platform altogether.
