This sort of holier-than-thou moral take and self-delusion is the reason Democrats lost. It’ll be interesting to see if this losing take disappears because it got summarily defeated, and what new narrative the new-left adopts next.

- dleary 2y agoIt’s interesting that you don’t even attempt to counter any of the points GP raised. Instead, you Respond to Tone [0] Once upon a time, Republicans had principles. As recently as 2015, they still often pretended to. When Republicans had principles, we could argue over which side we agreed with, which side was correct. Now, the Republicans have abandoned the principles that America was founded on. Now, you don’t even pretend like principles matter. You don’t even pretend like you need to address any of these points GP raised. It would be extremely damaging to GP’s argument if you would demonstrate that any one of the dozen or so points that he raised was a mischaracterization of the truth. Apparently you can’t do that, because instead, you call GP self-deluded and complain about his “take”. Literally just Ad Hominem [0] and Responding to Tone [0]. Shame on you.

- ImPostingOnHN 2y agoIt's funny how everyone seems to have their own, different, personal opinion of "the reason democrats lost", regardless of their qualifications. Thank you for yours, I will add it to the list. It will share space with "jesus", "civil rights", "qanon", etc. p.s.: calling someone "holier than thou" is usually itself holier than thou. Is this case an exception? Probably not.
