Democrats have all the spontaneity of the House of Windsor. Or, closer to home, they’re closer to what Republicans once were, a party that falls in line not in love.

    Personally, I think the potential of schadenfreude is not a good reason to want Trump to win the election.

    But then I don’t want my queer daughter sent to a “conversion therapy” camp.

      If Democrats care about your daughter, they would have run a better candidate.

      As you acknowledge, the stakes are incredibly high, so why would we run the only person polling poorly against Donald Trump? I hate to tell you, but they don’t give a damn about your daughter.

        Oh, okay, I guess I should be fine when Trump’s goons march her into a camp then because the Democrats didn’t run a better candidate. My mistake.

          Right, direct that anger towards the real problem here. The Democratic Party, who sat by while it happens.

              Its in their nature. We cant throw our hands up and let them get away with it. I blame the adults in the room for letting the child run rough shod

            So I shouldn’t be angry at Trump and his people for doing it?

            Is this like being angry at Chamberlain for allowing Hitler to start WWII and ignoring the fact that Hitler started WWII.

              There is absolutely a historical case to be made that appeasement was a fatal error leading to the rise of Nazi Germany.

              We cant blame snakes for being snakes. What we need is some snake wranglers. We’ve had 4 years to prevent Trump and did nothing.

              We get what we deserve

                    Me: “This Is like being angry at Chamberlain for allowing Hitler to start WWII and ignoring the fact that Hitler started WWII.”

                    You: “There is absolutely a historical case to be made that appeasement was a fatal error leading to the rise of Nazi Germany.”

                    Me: “There’s a historical case to be made that Hitler is blameless?”

                    You: “Way to not at all read what I said.”

                    Sure seems to me like you said Hitler is blameless when your comment is put in context.
