    If you know it all, why don’t you know how to win an election?

        Sometimes you just have to punch yourself in the face, just to see if it hurts. Then do it again.

        Don’t you realize what a tremendous self-own that is?

        “We’re so dumb, we can’t even get stupid people to vote for us!”

        Here’s an idea. How about asking the people what they need, and then making that your platform. Have you thought of that?

          Feel free to do that then. I wish you the best of luck.

          The problem is, the stupid people are angry, but barely know what they are angry about, so they will latch on to the first person that feeds their anger. Of course, feeding the anger will make things worse, but that doesn’t matter, since it feels good now. Now you have a double problem of the original issue still existing, and half the population asking you to make it worse, and getting mad at you when you don’t.

          Basically, America is fucked, and I’m just hoping they can keep it limping along long enough for me to die of old age before it completely collapses.

      They can’t win when they aren’t even allowed to pick the candidate. The DNC already plays with a stacked deck, but they still thought that the risk of a Sanders nomination was too likely. That’s why they forced Biden/Harris on us.
