why they idolise young and useless "leaders" like AOC, and why they unquestioningly repeat everything spoken by the media cathedral as if it were undisputable truth.

I remember when some article was posted in AOC flying between Washington D.C. and NYC.

The defense was bizarre essentially stating that AOC was an important woman and other forms of travel took too long.

Except that it did not.

They fail to address why the Acela Express was not an option for her. In fact, fact sheets by organizations these fucks support state that accounting for security the Acela Express is faster than plane travel.

But you can't expect liberals to have standards.
 
I don't even fully get -why- the Admin is gunning for war. Even a basic analysis says that doing so will utterly nuke any remaining chance of keeping the Whitehouse. Yah, it will likely solidify their base beneath them... but that's not even above 30% of the vote, 35% max assuming the -best- media blitz possible.

But it will lionize the Right and Independents find the idea abhorrent. It would rend off massive chunks of the necessary vote.

They have to have -some- people who can read the winds. Even CNN's low-tier 'analysts' should be able to read the warnings and sound the alarm.
 
Are they gunning for war or are they just drumming up the appearance of one coming and then when nothing happens, (because when does anything happen?) they then get to talk about how they avoided a massive war through their statesmanship.
 
Remember when so much as showing a military uniform got a visceral reaction of disgust from liberals?

Remember when they preached, for 60 fucking years, that there was never a good reason for violence, the violence never solved anything, and there was never a justified war?

Yeah.

Now the mask is off.

"The only justifiable violence is our violence."

It's a clear majority, not just a plurality an outright majority, who view the U.S. as the aggressor here... despite it being Russia who wants to invade. So if the goal was to look like a great statesman... it backfired hard.

You're still in the pre-"we can just steal the election" mindset.

I am just throwing ideas out there of trying to make sense of the situation. Another one is they don't care about the polls and it's because a lot of officials have dirt in Ukraine that they don't want Russia to get their hands on? It's entirely motivated by self-interest and self-preservation.

They can't steal it again. It cost them a lot of money and political capital that not only did they not get back but are in the red for both.

They have always been posers. They only support a cause because it gets them asspat's but more importantly it's asspat's because they a fighting against Republicans / Conservatives:
On that sunny winter day, the movement's legions looked ready to convert their ire into genuine policy change. In the 2006 midterms, not three months before, Democrats had taken control of Congress for the first time since 1994, in large part because of national discontent with the Iraq War. As Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D–Calif.), put it from the podium: "We have an antidote to this insanity...It is what you sent us to do last November!" The following Monday, UFPJ unleashed 1,000 grassroots activists on the Hill to swarm their representatives, demanding they support withdrawal resolutions and join the "Out of Iraq Caucus."

But that rally turned out to be the high-water mark; the tide soon receded and within a few years the sea itself dried up. "At exactly the time when antiwar voices were most well poised to exert pressure on Congress, movement leaders stopped sponsoring lobby days," the authors recount. From 2007 to 2009, "the largest antiwar rallies shrank from hundreds of thousands of people to thousands, and then to only hundreds."

When has reality ever stopped them from doing what they want anyways?

The utopia is at hand. They’ll make sure of it.

DO IT, I can't see whatever incompetent She boon they throw in the ring utterly fail at the most basic questions congress puts to her.

With the insanity that seems to be mounting, I think we need to start considering the serious possibility that they don't know, or refuse to acknowledge, that they cannot steal it again, and that they genuinely believe they can get away with it. Maybe CNN is spinning tales in their ears about how they can coordinate an even more effective mainstream media suppression of any 3am vote counts.

They can't steal it again, but by god they might be planning to try and do it anyway.

That'd be glorious to watch. Admittedly. I doubt it, but it'd be glorious.
