Thank god Trump is taking over right.
Your candidate couldn't promise to stop sending weapons to an active genocide. That one thing to you would of won her the election and you still don't blame her for not doing it? Crazy logic. Guess you too really wanted to continue that genocide. Taking it off the table isn't even an option to you.
I am being rhetorical. Of course you probably don't support the continued genocide of the Gazan people. But the democrats inability to give it up themselves lost the election. And you wanna be mad at random online leftists instead of that. It feels like you haven't really considered what happened and more are just angry and lashing out. Take care of yourself friend and think about who lost this election and why.
The point is you now have trump instead. Who'll be just as bad if not worse. It wasn't the only issue and you have really fucked yourselves.
So you wanna argue with leftists instead of working together against the incoming Adderall Concentration Camps? Rather than focusing on changing the Democrat party to be ready next time you would rather blame and fight the most politically disenfranchised group in America? Okay bro. Do you get the weird priorities you are displaying?
I'm saying the left should have worked together to stop this.
Best of luck to you guys but Trump is in and controls both houses.
And I'm saying it's ultimately the responsibility of the party to earn votes, and they gambled on what you just said and lost. The party is ultimately the one to blame and focus on. Saying what your saying is a continued juicing of a failed campaign strategy post campaign. Do you get how that's frustrating?
Like, we are over here talking about the future and what to change, you are tossing blame incorrectly into the past out of anger instead of taking that anger and moving it somewhere it could be productive.
Now we got MSNBC hosts out here praising trump. I got libs here on Lemmy excited for mass deportation because they imagine there's a conservative who deserves it. How can you not blame the Democrats for being Diet republican and losing and then blaming queer folk for "wokifying" their party, preemptively throwing them under the bus?
My point is change would have been much easier with Harris and not trump. This is a stupid way to go about change.
I'm not saying this is a great way to go about change. I'm saying the Dems lost because they refused to change. You can't shame a wife vosing populace into changing, nor does fighting about it do anything. Blaming the Dems at this point is the only action that moves forward. Everything else is a waste of time and effort. Dems as in dem establishment not voters.
The stubbornness of liberals is honestly impressive.
Well you sure showed us by electing a right wing fascist 🙃
No, the DNC fucked everyone. place blame were it belongs. just because we told you what was about to happen doesn't mean we caused it.
No "if" needed there. He will be so much worse than we can even imagine at this moment.
The next year is going to be eye-opening for a lot of people.
Yeah, maybe the liberals who were out to brunch for the last four years might suddenly start giving a shit again. JK who am I kidding, the only thing liberals are capable of is marching around with signs peacefully while pissing their pants.
As ineffectual as the democrat party they simp for. Pathetic.
I've never met a single person in my life who "simps" for the Democratic party. These are not real people you are referring to.
The vote blue no matter who crowd are indeed simps for the democrat party. We swear after this election - the mOsT iMpOrTaNt EvEr - we’ll push them left!!!!
It's interesting to see, now that the dust has settled, the astroturfing has ended, and all that's left are the useful idiots who bought into that bullshit and are beginning to unravel. Flailing about to grasp at anything that will allow you to continue to ignore the cognitive dissonance you're experiencing...
I think, come February, we're going to see a lot of these accounts disappear and/or acting more and more erratic as they see the results, in Palestine, of their wasted (or non-) vote.
Good luck. It's going to be rough for everyone, but I can't imagine having to wrestle with actually being partially responsible... I know that I would be ashamed, personally.
I would feel much greater shame, as a Jew and gender non conforming queer woman no less, in supporting a genocider.
America is such a great country full of excess that we had not one but two genociders to choose from!
So I hope you voted for Harris, because the three other choices (voting Trump, voting third party, or not voting) were for fascists who want you dead.
Cry about it. I voted third party, which is a vote for a third party.
Harris and trump are both fascists.
