Leaders of 'Uncommitted' and 'Abandon Harris' movements reflect on Trump's victory and early moves

Look I get it, the Dems didn't do enough to win over their base and instead went to the center.

But these Dearborn folks in the article get what they deserve and should really shut the fuck up. They voted for a man who said he would extend his Muslim country travel ban to gaza and still thought somehow he was on their side.

You are a complete a total dumbass if you thought he was on your side. He has years and years of lying out of his ass and you believed him and it's the Democrats fault? No I reject that. He literally stated in 2023 that he would extend his travel ban to Gaza. I feel like I need to take crazy pills or something, these people are insufferable.

Actually yes they did vote trump, studies show that only 20% voted harris. Not to mention the article quite literally is quoting these folks' justification for voting trump. The remainder was split between the green party (you know that party that doesn't do ANY down ballot initiatives and only shows up in swing states in presidential elections) and trump.

This is ignoring the fact that not voting in a swing state is pretty much the same thing as voting for the other person because the race is so close.

It didn't help trump directly but it did help him win.

I see. So there is supposed to be an authoritarian state in the transitionary period, is what you are saying?

Interesting, I was under the impression the real life forms had just failed; one group got into power and just said "naw" and then stayed in that authoritarian 'state.'

That doesn't answer my question unfortunately. In fact kinda muddies the water. Wikipedia says that it strives to be stateless, but how does that contend with the real life versions of communism that most certainly have a state?

Am I the jerk here?

I understand why you are upset, however, you should have just said

"Because I prefer to shop alone, I don't need anything, thank you"

What people don't get from the prompt is that your aunt is overbearing and constantly finds a way to "help" you but it's really just a way for the person to insert themselves into your life to feel more important/relevant because they can't get in another way or they can't relate to you or there is some past friction. They are the type of people that ask if you are hungry and won't accept 'no' until you give them the answer they want or until you blow up on them, and you're the asshole somehow.

This doesn't really answer any of my questions, only raises more. Unless of course he is making the point that an authoritarian government is the "saving up for the house" but it's clear with his next statements in the interview, that's not the case.

Somebody asked you if you wanted help and you blew up on them. If that isn't a sign of change needed idk what is. Regardless of what is happening, it's no way to treat people and you will push the people you love the most with your attitude. Take it from someone who immediately recognized the situation, you'll need to mitigate something or you will be unhappy. Best of luck, you probably won't even read this lol.
