Democrats constantly coming up against fascism and fumbling the bag is always someone else's fault.

Nader, Howard Dean, ACORN, Citizen's United, the SCOTUS, lazy uniformed voters, radical leftists and tankies, the Internet, the DSA, Russia, 16000 green party voters in a state with 4.5M ballots cast.

Two organizations are never to blame. You can't blame the Democrats, because they are the most hyper-competent data-driven poll-optimized party to ever exist. And you can't blame the Republicans, because they just worked harder to win based on their strong fundamentals and simply convinced more people with their very popular fascist policies.

When Dems win, they have to compromise with Republicans to achieve a bipartisan consensus. When Dems lose, they have to capitulate to the Republicans because that's what the voters asked for.

Paid to fucking lose. I swear to God.
