I think you’re underestimating how important it is to him that Republicans lose

I think you're undserestimating how important it is for him to feel like there's a winning side he can be on.

Yeah. Him and jwb both have that affliction. The window of possibility ****.

I hate that kind of thinking. “I support this because it might really happen”

Bitch you supporting it isn’t going to affect the outcome one iota so what difference does that make?

People always use that on me. Oh that will never happen. Who gives a ****? Am I supposed to support **** that I DON’T want to happen

Except that is what I did with Biden but my hate for Trump is just vitriolic. With covid added on my hate for him and DeSantis is so pronounced I think it’s like physically bad for my health.

Yeah I get that with jwb like he has no moral stance whatsoever and is just siding with pure pragmatism but still calls out moral stances because they call out his pragmatism as if he's insecure about a moral stance he refuses to take in the first place.

well he said there's a problem with framing it as corruption cause it's standard practice. I'm saying that it might be standard practice but that doesn't make it any less corrupt.

I dislike her in the same gist as I do Obama since I'm sure he would have voted for Iraq but Obama isn't married to someone he knows full welll is a rapist. I mean come on Hillary is clearly willing to ignore rape and child molestation to further her own career.

to the extent it doesn't make a difference is to the same extent anything you do doesn't make a difference.

Like voting pragmatically doesn't make a difference not because pragmatism doesn't work but because no matter who you are or how you vote, your vote individually doesn't really make a difference.

supporting something is an empty gesture if you have no expectation that the goal you support is an actual possibly achievable goal

Its just a way to pat yourself on the back for having the right take. Utterly useless.
