In reply to the discussion: Kamala Could Have Won - The American Prospect [View all]BlueTsunami2018
(4,914 posts)20. These so-called progressive voters should have been baked in.
They knew what the stakes were or at least they should have. Instead they decided to be pony people as usual. No long term vision, no patience and many of them have no sense.
If some thousand year war based on mythology and happening thousands of miles away was more important than protecting your own country from fascism , youre just a dope.
These so-called progressives and leftists were as easily duped by propaganda as the MAGAts. But they smugly consider themselves so much smarter and better.
Theyre not.

Narcissists love to brag when they think they've won, especially when they've cheated.
