Give and Take. It doesn’t matter. You aren’t selling shit if you aren’t offering what the people want. They wanted a rock to throw in a glass house and Trump promised to be that rock, not the Democrats. Yet, they will never learn this lesson.

lets teach through parable.

A drifter has been walking through a desert for five days without water. if he doesn’t get water in the next hour he will die. he happens upon a small oasis.

the drifter rushes to find water and all he sees is:

  • a small murky puddle covered in muck and grime
  • a bucket of watery shit
  • a camel
  • a dried out corpse

he looks at his options and is debating which would be better. he starts to move towards the puddle to drink from it when suddenly the camel begins to relieve itself.

he stops to consider drinking the urine.

you are the drifter. the shit bucket is trump. the puddle is kamala. the piss is stein. the corpse is the abstained voter.

which would you have chosen?

You’ll jump through any hoop to say the voters should have drank more piss instead of saying the piss should have cleaned itself up

I don’t just mean Gaza, I mean democratic candidates need to find a way to excite rural voters by giving them an actual path to financial stability

Your parable doesn’t even make sense, the election wasn’t lost by educated people refusing to drink piss, it was won by republicans by getting uneducated voters to happily eat shit thinking it’ll give them super powers. (I mean educated on the issues like “what is a tarrif”)

Don’t get pissed dude.

you’re not supposed to drink the camel piss. Hell, you weren’t even supposed to drink the bucket of shit!

You should have drank the pond scum. Would have at least bought you a few days until you get some help for dysentery.

But you decided to eat the sand. You poor dumb bastard, now you’re drier than turkey jerky.

A murky pond of still water might not be a good choice no matter how thirsty you are. The bacteria in it could kill you. If you’re thirsty and lost at sea, I hope you won’t drink the salt water. That’s the issue with the insistance that people should vote for Harris “to stop trump”. It’s short sighted and does nothing to address the long-term problem of, election after election, being presented two shitty options and told it’s critical that you eat shit instead of voting for the person that will actually fight for your values. Sorry the Democrats keep refusing to learn this lesson, but they are just as much to blame for Trump’s victory as the people who voted for him.

Out of your options above, the camel might actually be the safest option. You’ll at least get some hydration out of it if you don’t cook it to shit.

If you’re an hour away from dying from thirst, then a murky pond of water filled with bacteria, is better than a bucket of shit or camel piss.

bacteria may kill you in days. But you will die of thirst in one hour.

You completely missed the entire point of the exercise. If I make it any dumber, I’ll have to write it in crayon.

You were so close though. Go enjoy your cup of sand.

The choice is obvious, we eat the sand in hopes it will quench our thirst. Thats basically what we did.
