Oh, my goodness--they ran harder in a bigger election than a smaller election? Those fucking Democrats--what will they think of next? Bastards! And they ran that campaign against a party that's out to kill them--shameful! The Democrats aren't following the script--they're the ones who are supposed to lie down and die, not Gonzalez. What are they thinking?!?
It's this sort of ditzy analysis that builds a strong movement for Left Loserism: "All the fun of opposition, and no risk of ever holding power."
Loserism sucks,
