    Yeah I’m pretty sure Democratic voters are sick as fuck of forty years of watching Republicans break the law with impunity, Democrats doing nothing to reign them in or control them, worrying about how doing so will “leave a bad precedent” ignoring the bad precedent of letting verifiable crimes slide.

    Maybe, just maybe, seeing the law mean absolutely nothing to one party for forty years has made Democratic voters question what is even the point of following the rules when all it gets you is kicked in the nuts.

    I mean for fucks sake, whose idea was it to bring out Dick Fucking Cheney as if him not being hung from his fucking neck in the Hague for war crimes isn’t proof enough that no matter how heinous the crime we will protect our politicians. How was bringing out a fucking war criminal supposed to make me want to vote for Harris??? No, it was just a painful fucking reminder that we’re platforming the very people who brought us to this nadir.
