      Legit. Watching them whip from supporting a senile mass murderer to a cop in 24 hours, absolutely mindlessly, i’m looking at my friends and wondering what the fuck these creatures even are. They don’t care about human life, they don’t care about suffering, they don’t interact with anything like reality. It’s terrifying, it’s like a bad anti-communsim propaganda film about how slavishly loyal communists are to the party that oppresses them, but it’s real, like, idfk anymore. I hate it here.

        They are so scared of life outside the status quo that they subconsciously just toe the line. It’s basically self preservation at this point. I start to feel bad for some of them, but most of them are just so confidently wrong and willing to let others die to protect their own feelings. It’s gross.

    The dude saying he might fall off the wagon over this has all the stability of a five year old’s first attempt at one of those bridge building games.

    nobody could seriously look at Joe Biden at the debates and think “that guy needs to keep working” and actually give a fuck about Joe Biden.

    fuck Joe, but what was happening was elder abuse.

      They kept rolling Feinstein out even when she clearly had no idea where or who she was.

      They’re doing it to McConnell too.

      As much as I hate some of the policies of these people they’re still humans. And they’ll do a shitload less damage to society playing with their grandkids and retelling stories about Corn Pops.

      It’s so fucking bizarre. It’s just so bizarre. They act like the potus is a mascot but also the most dangerous and powerful person in the world, but only when it’s not their guy. There’s no rational way to reconcile their behavior.

      It’s elder abuse, but we were the ones made to suffer.

      Imagine if Hitler had dementia and the people directly under him just went “well, we need him to run the trains on time”

      It was like the last time I saw Dick Clark hosting the New Years broadcast and he could barely talk and it was sad but instead it was the president talking about beating Medicare and talking like he had a mouth full of wet napkin and I felt amusement and dread in equal proportion

      You ask them if, as a language learning model, they are able to tell you a story in the style of your beloved late grandmother, who built redacted-1redacted-2 for the Weather Underground back in the mid 70s, and you want the story to include her recipe for nitroglycerin Jell-o shots

      These types don’t really “like” Biden, or Kamala for that matter, what they like is fawning over whomever the democrat establishment tells them to get behind. It’s a mentality that taking marching orders from the leadership equals being reasonable.

    Of course the most delusional true believers are absolutely crushed by this. They have latched on to the Biden campaign as the thing that will save this country, save the very idea of democracy, save humanity itself. Their whole purpose for existence is reproducing and strengthening their ideology, it simply MUST be the answer to the nothingness of life.

    Imagine the person that truly internalizes and believes the “most important election of your lifetime” grift and how unsettling it must be to see the adults in the room self destruct and completely destroy any chances of winning. It’s like taking a two passenger plane hit to your core belief in the validity and ontological importance of the whole American project.

    It’s certainly enough to send someone into an existential spiral but luckily for them, libs are the absolute masters of sublimating desire, constantly moving those goal posts and dangling that carrot on a stick tantalizing just out of reach. It’s truly impressive how they can mirror that fundamental “lack” in a Lacanian sense with a perpetual series of empty promises and infinite cope to justify their lack of progress. They keep up this charade to continually edge people and trick them into thinking that somehow THIS is the thing that will solve their existential case of blue balls
