    The DNC isn’t being run to get Dems in office, it’s a fucking grift where sometimes we do get a Dem in office.

    True. And a cushy consulting job, or a few thousand in bonuses seems like an understandable inventive, if a misanthropic one.

    But for those who do the footwork supporting such a system, I just cannot see why. What have the Democrats done to deserve such blind obedience? Is being not-Trump just that impressive these days?

      Today? Yes. Come inauguration day? Absolutely fucking not. If Kamala wins I’ll talk shit, write letters, donate to causes, protest, and cause trouble from the first day she’s in office until the end of primary season 4 years from now. Then I’m back on the train.

      Unless we can get rid of FPTP. Then I’m talking shit every day all fucking day long while happily voting for a candidate who agrees with me most instead of the one I disagree with the least.
