What limits are being imposed on them currently? They're already flattening Gaza, attacking UN outposts, and invading other countries

Culpability for what? Nothing is forcing Biden and Harris to support such atrocities. Nothing forced them to abandon the left and the working class and cater to the right at every opportunity. If you want to point fingers, why don't you start with the actual candidate leading the campaign, who consciously made all these decisions, and the party leaders backing her?

Was 2016 not enough of a wakeup call? Was the near loss in 2020 not a wakeup call? Here we are in 2024, repeating the same old song and dance, and people are still digging their heels in thinking that moving further and further right is a winning strategy for the Democrats and it's everyone else's fault when it doesn't work again and again and again.

Maybe the party leadership will finally pull their heads out of their asses after this, but I won't hold my breath. They'll probably pick someone like Joe Manchin to run in 2028 and then wonder where it all went wrong once again when he loses to someone like Ted Cruz or Ron DeSantis.

Nah the DNC did this by abandoning their principles and base in a failed attempt to appease conservatives and some foreign government.

Arguing that people should just support, fund, and arm human slaughter, and likening it to something basic like marijuana legalization or taxes, all so you can win a contest is fucking insane coming from the supposed left, but it really just shows how far to the right the party has gone.

You did this.

Bud, they both support it. The difference is that Republicans don't pretend to care about stuff like this.

Rockauto if I can wait a week otherwise it's the local Autozone/O'Reilly. Rockauto prices are way better and the selection of parts (including quality stuff) is so much better.

Because 9800 is 25.6% larger of a number than 7800.

It's not just right-of-way but also that they stop in every little town along the way so it takes forever. I've done it from Oregon to ND and it took a couple of days of this.

Right. Two days there and two days back, so four days of your vacation lost to travel. I imagine the market they're trying to target with these cheap fairs can't exactly take an extra week off of work to waste on travel time. Meanwhile you can hop on a plane and be there the same day usually for not too much more if you keep an eye out for good deals.

It seems like you might have a problem with it since you're insisting that she lost because she's a woman.

Your graph seems to indicate that education level has more to do with voting preferences than gender.

Edit: and this seems to contradict your theory that this is all about gender biases and not something else like abandoning the party base

Is this not the most frustrating thing in the world?

These people want to demonize the policies of the Republicans but when the Dems engage in the exact same policies in their neverending shift to the right, you're given every excuse or justification for why they're neccesary and called a trouble maker or shill for pointing them out, and given the most condescending "bOtH SiDeS!" responses.

Now, this has cost us yet another election, and these people want to blame us for it rather than looking in the mirror. Turns out trying to out-fascist the fascists isn't a winning election strategy.

Kinda makes you wonder why Joe Biden didn't take advantage of that at any point over the last several months when so much is at stake.

Or could it be that your leadership and policies are seen as poor, uninspiring, and indistinguishable from the opposition amongst those that you refer to as "children or dogs?"
