  • I agree with you that an unused or third party vote is effectively a vote for Trump. I wouldn’t say those people are the same, even though the outcome is. People who voted in 2020 and didn’t this time around are probably feeling how badly they fucked up. And I hope they feel like shit.

    Meanwhile MAGA is crowing from the rooftops about the dismantling of democracy. If you’re not wealthy and you voted for Trump, you fucked up badly. Most will realize it at some point, but it’s already too late. Even the midterms are two years away, and look what’s been done in two weeks. That Constitution they claim to love more than life itself has been ripped up and thrown to the ground under fascist boots.

    The ridiculous purity genocide Joe shit hit way harder than I thought it would. Yeah I wish he hadn’t gone full bore on support for Palestinian genocide. Anyone with a conscience knows it was evil. But if you’re a leftist or progressive of any stripe, you’ve been voting for the lesser of two evils your entire adult life. What made this one different really? Every US President causes innocent people to be killed.








  • This is nothing like Joe Manchin. He was literally the only Democrat who could get elected to national office in this state. It was absolutely inevitable that he would be replaced by a Republican. West Virginia voted for Trump by a higher margin than any other state.

    Take it from someone who lives in the capital. We have a Democrat for mayor, but that’s the extent of Democrat possibilities in this state. Only in our small cities for state or more local positions do they stand a chance.

    The cities here are pretty decent. I love my state, but the people have forgotten our roots. From breaking with Virginia to side with the Union in the civil war, to some of the bloodiest labor rights battles in American history, by all rights this should be a left leaning state. The Southern Strategy was very effective for Republicans, and nowhere is that success more evident than West Virginia.

    Pennsylvania is a completely different animal.
