      Whole lotta people that should know better stayed home, too. Also, a lot of people still bleating out nonsense, even now, about “both sides” and talking about “shitlibs” and GenocideJoe and so on.

        How many of those were really people? Their arguments were all cut’n’paste and most of their posts stopped after the election.

          It’s a fair question for the online world, and I think at least some amount were paid actors/trolls/bots. However, I do know people like this IRL, too.

          ^ Sigh. Exactly the silly kind of talking points I was talking about.

          I listen to TYT, and it seems they are even still, as donvict is ramping up to have the military attack Americans, spending an awful lot of time talking about Gaza. This, after they have already spent quite a lot of energy on it as if it’s the only thing going on in the world. Yes, Gaza is terrible, and almost none of our citizens love it that our government is funding Israel, but meanwhile, our country is falling into fascism and all too often there are elements among liberals that keep playing the stupid bothsiderist game and seem to lose perspective.

          Would Biden/Kamala immediately have fixed things when it comes to Gaza? Doubtful. But with donvict, we have both Gaza AND our country’s very future in jeopardy. Pretending it’s “both sides” is nothing short of brain-dead.
