Also, if they mean the "Democratic Party" by "the democrats", then I think the "lesson" was very different to what these people assume. They think what they "taught" the party was that the party should go more to the left.
The lesson they actually taught the party was that the people on the left are untrustworthy and it is better to appeal to centrists who are greater in number and turn out more.
@alice "How can one man so visibly fuck up on every god damned thing...and still have this much power?"
Truly is a fascinating question. Like how did this guy fail upwards for his whole life, and then does a horrendous job and get voted in again anyway. Maybe we are just a very stupid species
60+ three-time immigrant, whose life in Africa, Australia, and America, work with industrial and medical quality & safety, and obsession with mortality data and accidents, results in morbid short stories.I write fiction #shortstories that are like “Final Destination” meets “The Monkey’s Paw” (W. W. Jacobs, 1902). A little bit Poe, a touch of Dahl, and a hint of Gorey. When I am not writing, I do bare-bow archery, walk a husky, and pick up other people's litter.#writer #author #fiction
