Hey all, sincerely hope you’re well.

Many of our American posters are gathering together with family and friends today. They’re likely to hear plenty of awful takes from their liberals. Unscratched, freshly scratched, or pre-scratched chuds alike, there are sure to be brainworms all around the table and openly airing their unhinged grievances. Please feel free to share their awful takes here. This thread is open for supporting one another, venting, laughing at bad family takes (both stale and bespoke).

This thread is intended to be a supportive space to bring the community together. Please be kind to one another. As always, discussion of struggle sessions or attempts to relitigate them will not be permitted.

Have fun and keep cozy! comfy

    Reasons Kopmala lost the election:

    “She’s a woman. And she’s black.”

    “Russian election interference.”

    “Didn’t have enough time to get her campaign going.”

    “Trump supporters infiltrated her campaign and sabotaged it with overspending.”

    “She didn’t know what her staff was doing and how they were misappropriating campaign funds.”

    “Articles about her low polling numbers is fake news.”

    “Something is off and I can’t put my finger on it.”

    Not mentioned? Palestine. Inflation. Outflanking Republicans from the right. Police brutality. College funding. Healthcare reform.

    Really activates the almonds on Main Street.

      “Trump supporters infiltrated her campaign and sabotaged it with overspending.”

      but of course! they are famously fans of overpriced salads

      “She didn’t know what her staff was doing and how they were misappropriating campaign funds.”

      who can say who ordered these overpriced out-of-state salads?

      Got that too. Also, grocery prices aren’t even part of “the economy” and if you think they are you’re (r-slured), believed the Russian lies, and you don’t deserve to speak because you don’t know anything about “economics” even if I’ve read like 5 textbooks on economics.

      The economy = GDP apparently. Here I thought it was all the resources and labor of a nation and their movement, and GDP was just a measure of one aspect thereof.
