(1,076 posts)BSers here are wailing that they need to grieve over a failed campaign, as if their dog just died.
How can you not see how weird that is?
It's politics. You know what politics is? People deciding what they want from a candidate or a law or policy, and then groups of them deciding who will do stuff for them, or if they'll do something or not. If a group gets more people on their side, they get the candidate or law they want. If they lose, they don't pitch a hissy fit that more people wanted something else. They work to get more people on their side to change that later, or they accept that more people wanted something else, let it go and move on. More candidates lose elections than win them. Did you ever consider that? It's the rare person who gets over the finish line in November. Why are you howling at the moon for what will never be, rather than grateful that your candidate made it this far, and happy for the support he managed to get?
But not BSers. They act like the rejection of the outsiders who voted against him is an affront to their leader, a plot to get him because--well, because! and that it is the worst thing to happen since--since the last time he got rejected by the voters! You say anything to make him look better than any other candidate, even if it's patent nonsense--or outright lies. Do you realize that saying Biden has dementia and doing the "where's Biden?" nonsense isn't merely peddling appalling lies, but also resorting to conspiracy theories in a desperate bid to keep BS in the race, or pretend that he still has a chance?
Do you not understand that normal people don't make up lies to justify the behavior of a political candidate, or think that there are plots out to get him at every turn, or manufacture conspiracy theories to prop him up to pretend that the leader can do no wrong so that he and they can pretend he's more powerful than he ever was or will be?
That's not what normal people do over a politician. Those are things people in a cult do.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
