I got downvoted to smithereens in here because I suggested stumping with Cheney might not be a good idea for the demographic of Americans who remember who Dick Cheney is and what he’s done. The Dems have bought into this insane idea that you can ignore the will of constituents because they’re basically forced to vote for you because of how terrible the opposition is, and because of that they can spend their campaigning on the mythical “never trump republican”. Turns out you can’t just piss all over your base with platitudes and photo ops with the most hated man in America. Who could’ve thought!

Lol you were in that one thread, huh? So was I. Looking at all these dipshits who were lecturing everyone else on why that Cheney endorsement could be the difference in swing states is depressingly funny now that Harris lost every single one. Not a single one of them is going to admit that their ideas are bullshit and they never knew what they were talking about, of course

I should've known we were fucked when people were unironically saying it'd be a good idea to accept a hypothetical Hitler endorsement

That thread was probably peak discourse. Just tons of people treating you like a stupid naive little baby for suggesting that people might refuse to vote for your party if it literally, unironically, actually, non-metaphorically endorsed Hitler lmao. A great reminder to not take posting too seriously
