Do you know what they generally give out the Nobel Peace Prize for?

But that's just because they're kind of obnoxious, not because of actual damage they're causing, and I should probably be more proportional about it.

Yeah this was a "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory" situation if I ever saw one.

I just have a knee jerk reaction to people who want to make a huge, public, principled stand purely for the gesture of it but also don't think it's okay for people to get mad at them about it.

Like, white women supported Trump at a pretty much identical percentage to the one at which they've supported every Republican nominee since 2004. The other shift is new. Which one people should get angrier about is an interesting question.

Oh, yeah, there's a ton of nuance to be had here for sure.

It's just hard for a lot of people to get to nuance because it lies somewhere past the mountain of "lots of former Dems chose not to support the Dems and that was one of the most significant reasons they lost."

I'm not directing this at Muslims specifically, obviously. It's just that there are a weirdly large number of people who wanted everyone to know that they didn't support the Dems who are now surprised Pikachu that people are giving them credit for the Dems not getting enough support.

Look, I feel you, but white butches generally didn't make a big public deal about not voting for Kamala and wanting the credit if she didn't win.

The Boomer memesphere is just totally detached from reality.

I don't miss Facebook but I do miss the hug react.
