(And is also like arguing that, because training for a marathon is hard and sucks, I should be able to compete in one while driving a car.)

Someone on here, a while ago, tried to argue that nobody will bother learning to be an artist after this, because learning to make art is a joyless, tedious ordeal.
And she rightly got mocked for saying that. Like, have you met an artist? That’s not how any of us feel about it.

I spent years telling leftists “if you scream at Democrats no matter what they do, and never give them any credit even when they do what you claimed you wanted, all you’re doing is making yourself irrelevant.”
And they’d always say “no, no, this is how you move the party left.”
Idiots.

Also, they said “do it, if SCOTUS strikes it down we’ll give you credit for trying.”
Then when exactly that happened, they declared that it was his fault for not doing it some secret way SCOTUS couldn’t overturn.

Recall that before 10/7, the same people were threatening to withhold their votes if every dollar of student loan debt wasn’t canceled.
They seemed gleeful when Gaza came along, like “oh good, a reason for me inevitably withholding my vote that doesn’t make me sound like a selfish whiny baby.”

They treat their vote like it’s their virginity. Or like it’s a statement to the world about who they are.
And democracy doesn’t, and can’t, work like that.

It really seemed like people were desperate for Harris to be so terrible that there was no moral difference between her and Trump and it was fine to cast a “protest vote” or stay home, so people motivated-reasoninged themselves into believing some insane shit about her.

It was. I strongly disagree that Harris had “a ton of fucking cons” but also THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE MATTERED.
Also, apparently she didn’t have so many cons that people didn’t have to lie and give her more, like saying she was anti trans or saying she would reinstate the draft.

That’s what I mean when I say they treated it like it was an abstract statement of their principles, and not a concrete choice between two possible futures.

Also? Everyone who helped convince a generation of young trans people to stand by and do nothing while their civil rights were set on fire because “Gaza is more important than you” should be forced to jump in an open sewer.

The “there’s no such thing as less genocide” argument is deranged.
There is! There’s fewer people being killed/displaced!
It’s like arguing that every murder Ted Bundy committed after the first one was morally neutral because “there’s no such thing as less murder.”

Also a bit like how the economy never soured under Biden, but every few months we’d get coverage confidently announcing that “experts” were predicting it would any minute.

I mean yeah, in 2016 the election made bad people be able to do bad things, but surely that would never happen again, so let’s do exactly the same thing again but this time hide behind the people of Gaza instead of sick Americans.

Look, nobody told them the election was actually about what was going to happen. They were sure it was just an abstract statement of whether they thought the Democratic Party was literally perfect.

Prediction: his numbers won’t rise, but we’ll see multiple cycles of people in the press confidently predicting that they’re about to, like in Bush’s second term.

I’ve had it in for the Atlantic ever since they platformed all that “should we ruin trans kids’ lives? Just asking questions, but we kinda should I think” bullshit over the last decade.

And they always think that should work because $5 a month is basically nothing to most people. We pay more than that for individual drinks at Starbucks and think very little of it.
But it’s psychological. People are angry when you start charging for something that was previously free.
