I think the Democrats are too far right, but that's not what lost them the election. What lost them the election is that voters think the President controls the price of groceries, and if cheaper groceries means killing a lot of brown people, that's a small price to pay.
Trump is going to prove that the President controls the price of groceries by enacting tariffs on imported food and getting rid of all the people who catch, raise, and harvest our food. He's going to make grocery prices go through the roof.
I'm sure that will be blamed on someone else. Probably trans people.
It's a toss up between them or the "illegals." While they do hate trans people, it's a more convincing argument for people who aren't complete idiots to say it's because of an increased demand caused by non-citizens taking resources from patriotic American citizens™
Democrats were also in favour of killing Palestinians. They had the chance to stop all of this and didn't. The choice in the election was slow genocide that's currently going on, or probably a faster one, when Trump gets into power.
But at the end of the day, genocide happening in a year or 3 doesn't change how horrific it is, doesn't change the fact that they will be gone.
I really don't understand this whole Palestine argument. You have the choice between two candidates who both have very similar positions on the issue in a country that has historically never held any other position on it, regardless of who was in power and somehow you make that the one deciding issue for this election even though it literally makes no difference on the issue who you vote for in the election.
