      Why? Are they here? Would that help?

      They’re short-sighted. They’re selfish. They think that they can get everything they want because they’re the swing votes. They’re holding the country hostage for their own ends. They’re ignorant of the gravity of their decisions or lack thereof. They’re reactionary. They’re making false equivalences between Republicans and Democrats that makes literal genocide into a minor inconvenience and the erosion of democracy to business as usual. They’re nodding along with right-wing media when they say that “leftists and MAGA are the same” when one wants to kill trans people and the other just wants health care for all. They’re treating the worst impulses of the Republican Party as though they’re delightful foibles. They’re seriously considering voting again for the biggest and most dangerous idiot the Oval Office has ever seen, despite a mountain of legal issues and promises to burn the world down if he wins. They’re okay with the Democrats taking no action against climate change, Israel’s genocide, and more, because it would be inconvenient for them. Moderates are the ones looking on with a smile while the right sets fire to everything.

      Whew. That was helpful, wasn’t it? Did we solve everything?
