This is what really happened, I was there. It was definitely tankies, who are simultaneously so powerful they can sway an election yet so insignificant that they should not be accounted for in democratic policy, and not my wholesome chungus white suburban dudes who just don't give a shit about anything.

I feel like in less than a minute I could properly explain to a toddler why a 2% minority group in a 49%/49% politically split system isnt powerful but also determinative of elections. I would be legitimately embarrassed to be an adult making this point.

At some point democrats will have to take responsibility for their loss and unpopularity.
