    I’m not sure the incessant chorus of 'I told you so’s is really helping the cause.

    Personally, I’m watching the dumpster fire from up on your hat, without any option to participate in your elections either way, but it’s still getting pretty grating. Surely, there’s a better strategy.

      I’m not sure the incessant chorus of 'I told you so’s is really helping the cause.

      I’ve heard so much MSNBC bigotry in the last month.

      “Palestinians cost us the election!”

      “Trans people cost us the election!”

      “Hispanics cost us the election!”

      “Everyone under 40 cost us the election!”

      This is typically followed by some sickeningly smug “I hope they enjoy what they get” from the most vile and repulsive insider slime the party has to offer. And now Dem Leadership is just throwing up its hands, insisting Trump’s just a dictator now and there’s nothing any of them can do.

      Hell, the fucking CIA - the agency that exists to topple foreign governments - seems equally indolent and feckless. So, idk. Maybe saying “I told you so” isn’t impacting the cause one way or another.

      Yes, because hopefully if we point out how much not voting has hurt us and everyone else, these dimwits will actually choose the lesser evil next time instead of letting the greater evil win

        We absolutely will not. Take that into account and stop thinking it’s a bluff you can call.
