I won’t find y’all the MLK quote for it, y’all know it. But it is legitimately more frustrating to hear a white liberal tell me we’d be eating caviar at brunch if only Kamala had been elected than hearing a Trumper tell me he’s doing nothing wrong.
Part of it is I don’t need to build a coalition with MAGA, but this blue no matter who person is actively halting progress in the “lesser evil” party.
Maybe McKay meant that, maybe not. Dudes a rich white liberal anyways so I hope he’s self aware when he says this.
Exactly. Conservatives are a mostly lost cause who will either figure it out on their own after being beaten by the people they elect themselves or who are so blind they will never see it. Centrists who “aren’t very political” and who “just want everyone to get along” are constantly telling progressives that they’re “too extreme” despite the fact that the entire basis of centrism is being in between two other options, no matter where that actually puts them.
They’re just a bunch of cowards who are heading for a cliff but think that applying the brakes too strongly might be a little uncomfortable so they just do it a little. They’re still going off the cliff, just a little slower.
Yeah and its all the more annoying when they acknowledge the cliff as if we’re supposed to clap for them.
E.g. “climate change is the #1 existential threat”
“OK will your campaign commit to revoking fracking and mining licenses on federal land?”
“WOAH don’t be CRAZY”

“To stop before we die! We still can!”
