MODERATORS
Still focusing on identity politics instead of the actual ramifications of a choice based upon them, eh?
They did admit liberals are smarter, so there’s that.
It's not your neighbor's fault you're an idiot.
If you vote for a party that's historically better for the economy and doesn't run convicted felons and rapists who illegally attempted to overturn an election, you are 100% smarter than the guy next door and you shouldn't have to pretend that you're not to appease them.
You're getting downvoted to hell, but it's true.
The total lack of empathy and unchecked arrogance on the part of Democrats helps explain why they lost the election.
Idiots don't understand how difficult it is to be smart and not come across as arrogant to idiots who don't realize how stupid they are.
You being upset about it is like me being upset with your ignorance. I am smart enough to know it doesn't help, you on the other hand do not. It's one of a thousand ways I'm smarter than you.
We're very sorry we weren't nicer to the proudly ignorant and morally devoid.
Go for it.
Double down on this attitude.
But don't complain when it works against you.
Literally doesn't matter now.
My attitude doesn't make ignorant people less ignorant. Those people are going to be ignorant no matter what I say or do. That's the nature of ignorance.
I suppose it was too much to expect Democrats to possess any measure of empathy, even if it serves their own self-interest.
Why is it on Democrats to treat proudly ignorant, deplorable people with respect?
Why are Democrats held to higher standards?
