More "vote blue no matter who" hypocrisy

Democratic blogs have long urged folks to "vote blue no matter who." That's their bag, I guess, and I could tolerate it before these blogs sold out their principles in the name of fighting the pandemic. Appeasing wealthy donors who acted in bad faith and supported a bio-juche dictatorship was more important than principles to them.

But recent developments have shown that these blogs don't even abide by their own "vote blue" maxim.

Visit any shitlib blog of the "vote blue no matter who" strain lately, and you'll see they spend more time attacking Democrats than fascist Republicans like Mitt Romney. One of their biggest targets lately is Tulsi Gabbard, who is the topic of endless red-baiting. If the next presidential election is Romney versus Gabbard, you know damn well they'll support Romney. Another Democratic target over the past couple years is Virginia State Sen. Chap Petersen – thanks to his rather consistent opposition to the COVID police state. The shitlib blogosphere has actually tried to recruit a challenger to Petersen.

I wanted to see what Daily Kos said about Utah Democrats supporting Evan McMullin for Senate. Naturally, the Kos Kids are praising the move.

In other words, perhaps the biggest "vote blue no matter who" blog out there has rejected Democrats like Gabbard and Petersen - but embraced a right-winger like McMullin over an actual Democrat.

Do they even realize how ridiculous they sound?
