HEY, LEFTIES. LISTEN UP.

Guy I knew had a phrase, "can't stand prosperity." It refers to people who can't take good news, who have to turn it into bad news.

That's a lot of you. STOP IT.

See link. Is this a complete victory? No. Is it a step? Yes.

The response of a lot of lefties is "that's not perfect so it's shit, and you're shit for being happy about it." Not those exact words, but close, and it's exactly the attitude.

If that's not what you mean you react that way, then here's the correct response:

"Fuck yeah! Now let's make them do [the next step]."

Because "that's shit and you're wrong for being happy?" THAT'S NOT ANALYSIS, THAT'S SELF-SABOTAGE AND AIDING THE ENEMY.

STOP.

@moira Left leaning here. I don't think it's a loss at all:

  1. won Colorado by 13 points so kicking of the ballot really wouldn't have mattered.
  2. will celebrate the fact that hasn't been kicked off of the ballot and miss entirely the major part of the decision. There is now a judge on the record saying that has "engaged in insurrection"
    I could go on and on here (and if anyone asks, I will); suffice it to say, it's a huge win for Democracy.
