*By "you" I don't mean you. I mean this other person.

This was 15 hours ago and I'm still seething with rage.

Instead, you actively hurt my support. So that you could prove you were smarter, that you had the secret sauce and I didn't. I never claimed to.

I nearly withdrew right then. But I've promised too many people, face to face, that I would fight for them.

Great. I've been saying the same thing. So help me. I've been drowning for 2 years, begging for help with this exact problem.

Or run for office. I will be your campaign manager, or volunteer coordinator, or anything you need. Even after this incident. But you won't.

I added a bit more to the thread. They did but it was what we already knew. Be better at social media. Learn how to communicate and message better to your audience. And they were so smug about it, like it was secret knowledge they had discovered all on their own.

My therapist will be proud of me when I inform them that I quietly left the room instead of doing something that would have landed me in prison.

If they had come to me in private, told me I was a shit candidate, and then offered to help me improve, I would have been thrilled. That would be amazing. Instead, they publicly cut me down in front of essentially my most hard core base support.

Which quickly turned to fury. Bitch mother fucker pendejo prick, where have *you* been? When did you offer to help me? I've been *BEGGING* for years for someone to help me with my campaign, because I know I suck at it. And I can't afford to hire help.

So when a local progressive activist, whose work I respect, presented to our local Democrats and made it quite clear to the whole room that I wasn't a good candidate, it felt like I had been punched in the gut while somebody took a shit on my face.

I'm unattractive and uncharismatic. I'm a crappy public speaker. I despise social media with the fury of a thousand suns. I'm a bad candidate.

But out of 40k people, I'm the only one in 10 years willing to even try to run against the GOP. I *WISH* someone would take my place. But they won't.

Whatever. I can tell that the little guy in the cart is a terrorist just by looking at them.

Why not both?

I've seen some of this as well. Explains why some people are so shocked at our lack of sympathy for the guy if they honestly thought he was just preaching the Bible to kids.

Also Bill Gates put something in the Covid vaccine to kill people as part of a scheme to save the planet and that's why so many people are dying from the vaccine.

Was the cop stache a necessary detail to include? I kinda think it was.

And this guy was 1000% confident in everything he was saying.

Hey I was wrong! Sometimes I like being wrong. Not that I think the apology was sincere, but at least somebody didn't think it was time to openly suggest killing the undesirables.

I mean I hate them, but why did they think party affiliation would matter or even be interesting? I bet about the same number of MAGA as progressives like Oreos, but I can't see spending time and money to figure it out.
