Not like either side is helping us. Kamala, Democrats, and Joe biden ran the last 4 years quietly and campaigned on no change. They lost the election by not convincing 250k voters in 4 states to not vote for them.

Joe biden pardoning his son is his legacy. Joe said he would be a one term president then tried to run for a second term ruining a primary. Democrats chose Kamala harris and she accepted. This country was founded on old people letting go of power and stepping aside and down. If George Washington wanted to he could have been a king. The old dems are grasping at power and control rather than trusting a populist candidate.

Joe Biden could be abusing his power and fighting for change from the bully pulpit to affect Americans and make an outcry but instead went back in his word twice and pardoned his son abusing his power for selfish gain.

Kamala instead of campaigning to fight hatred and cause change went with joy and changing nothing . She even capituatated to right wing talking points moving Democrats to the right. Even though policy wise leftist policy is good and ppopular policy.

Lastly the democrats ran a Hilary Clinton style campaign being a nerd with stats and defended institutions. Obama won because change Biden won because change.

Nah you just don't get it cause everyone else is to much of a ducking stupid imbred moron who didn't get to go to the good school that I went to to realize how I am right about everything in their life and that dumb people don't have a right to complain because they are stupid anyways and it proves they can't be trusted until I educate them better which I don't want to do because I am living a better life than them in every way.

So like it's not the Dems fault and people should just accept what's best for them and be ready to be used as a scapegoat whenever we throw a tantrum for things not going out way and just leave without doing anything cause they don't even deserve kindness anymore even though we have totally been kind the whole time!

/Hard S

But tell them they are talking to people all wrong and suddenly we are all Russian bots, or trolls, or secretly Trumpers cause true friends (good followers) should just accept them as already perfect like they see themselves.

Ugh.

Not like the democrats immediately accepted Republicans and framed leftists as the problem with their campaign while moving to the right

This bit is generally in response to the fact that the only time this rhetoric is heard is right before an election. Where was this talk and push for change the last four years? Where were the mass protests when Biden was in office and might have listened to a shutdown? Or at any point when the world wasn't staring down the barrel of a new hitler?

You can want positive change from your own political party while also acknowledging that they are still standing on higher ground than an actual Nazi. Time and a place for each.

We just get ignored cause it isn't a problem for liberals until elections.

I kept protesting, I kept saying the same thing. Lots of other people too! I even tried to get into political positions and worked with others in them to be told no and still constantly ignored.

Just cause you are ignorant to the conversation and the work still going on and only hear about it cause it's an election and you are paying attention does not make it our faults.

No liberals wait until it's the brink of disaster and complain that it's everyone else that didn't do enough to make you stop and pay attention while the whole time liberals constantly tell everyone to pipe down and not make a fuss.

How dare you blame us for not doing more. You want to see the failure of the system look in a mirror and stop blaming those of us screaming to desperately get anything done.
