If you ever supported this guy, please raise your hand so we can publicly mock you. This is your penance.

Not in the primary, there was someone better, but I’m pretty sure I filled his circle on the general election ballot… it was this chucklefuck or Mehmet Oz.

Yeah honestly voting for him to prevent one of the worst grifters of all time from winning a senate seat is understadable.

Who was the better candidate in the primary though? Just curious.

The trick is to be nakedly cynical towards everyone so that nobody can ever accuse you of having hope for a brighter future.

Honestly, now that I think about it…

  • Liz Warren

  • Krysten Sinema

  • Kristen Gilibrand

and now this.

It increasingly feels like the more left-posturing candidates are deliberately rigged to explode in voters’ faces.

Example number 259 of capitalists betraying their own free market ideas when it isn’t self-serving

Also, CHUDs like to call us “elitist” but here they are thinking that the average person is too stupid to know that almond milk is not dairy milk, let alone read the carton.

I always thought it was weird that lefties got behind this guy when I remember him years back on the Colbert show bragging about the public-private partnerships he had pulled off. Like it was good he had helped his town and all, but it wasn’t in anyway Left.

In my case; It’s just really hard to track down the political histories of every “progressive” that pops up. I need to remind myself; The only curse that Pandora managed to capture before it could escape the box was Hope.

Somehow it never clicked for me that hope is meant to be curse too.

I interpret it as hope being a passive acceptance of the other curses. if you’re hoping you’ve already given up. It’s kind of a 'take heart, fortify, rally, you don’t have to fall back on hope, these evils can be conquered" thing.

ive never understood that

are we free from hope? Like, able to stop feeling it? Or do we only have hope because it’s still in the box?
