This shit exactly. They literally gave us nothing to vote for. All they really had was abortion, but that's fuckin it? No other decent policy. And now I wonder if they see this outcome do they think they weren't right wing enough? Stupid.
Harris and Biden put billions of dollars into a renewable energy fund, and Harris was promising a 20 grand subsidy for first home buyers. It's not nothing. Y'all just chose not to listen.
They think being "right" is more important than the horrifying shit that is to come. It really seems like these so-called "progressives" do not grasp what actual fascism and autocracy looks like. They think this is a good thing because it'll make the Democratic party rethink their priorities or something, when in reality, we will be lucky if there is a Democratic party or even a real election in 2 or 4 years.
This shit is over, there will be no progressive party now.
You're trapped in a burning building.
A firefighter hacks the door down and reaches their hand out to pull you free and carry you outside.
And you ask "What's in it for me?"
I truly don't think you people grasp how meaningless all this text your wasting is.
This happened because people are stupid. That's it. That's the long and short of it. They have no, absolutely no concept whatsoever of how bad things are about to get. There's no world where the citizenship understands what fascism is where Kamala needed to do anything different than she did.
At this point, I truly don't think it matters. None of this shit matters. The problem is the people.
