“We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not.”

That’s gotta be one of the strangest reasonings I’ve heard in a while.

      The alternative in this case being “treating people like you need their votes.”

      The party would rather have Trump than the nightmare scenario of acting like their voters are worth anything.

        Look, I can’t keep people from hurting themselves. I will call them morons leading up to and afterwards though.

        Same as I did for dipshits in red states losing maternity wards now. /shrug

      Both options keep getting worse and continuing to paly a rigged game isn’t worth it. The Republicans might just cheat and win and all.the.Biden capitulation will have been for nothing

        You show me the policies the Democrats have that comes even close to this- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025

        I mean I don’t like the Democrats, but my god… Trump and his people want a one-party state with him as dictator for life and one of his kids succeeding him.

        The capitulation would have been for stopping that.

          Don’t worry. There will be no shortage of people clutching their pearls and smugly saying they stood up for their ideals by not voting for Democrats, as they ride to concentration camps.

            Pft no they’ll just continue to blame Democrats. How dare they make you vote for the Republican because they weren’t inspiring enough for your vote?
