This can't be real can it?

Trump is winning all these states and look at the percentages. How?
Edit: many news agency are calling PA for Trump. So we are truly fucked.
You're viewing a single thread.
The Democrats have managed to field two candidates so unelectable they lost to Donald fucking Trump. That's how. And we, the Democratic constituents, are failing to either take over or dismantle the Democratic party so we can get a halfway decent candidate in. We fucking suck.
You're underestimating the amount of misogyny in this country.
I'm not convinced that's the reason, but if the country is so misogynistic it's impossible to elect a woman, we need to stop putting women up for election. That's shitty, but it's better than Republicans winning.
Yes be sure to never ever blame the human garbage voting for a proud fascist.
The DNC needs to be cleaned out. Every last person in leadership there needs to be fired and blacklisted.
Oh don't worry. Trump will dismantle them once the camps are built.
oh i very pray he jails miller, blinken and biden. these smug unlikable genocider cnts were half the reason we are in this positions today.
Seeing as 2016 didn't give us a shake up even with court documented swaying and intentionally unfair actions towards Sanders, and only involved party leaders moving higher in rank, I won't expect it now.
Unless it's to save face for a hopefully 2028 election. As in, hopefully we have one.
I am in tears from the laughter on the tone deaf liberals even on this very post.
Harris didn’t lose “because of racism and sexism”. Like I genuinely don’t have the energy to explain it anymore at this point. Even if I did, liberals would close their eyes and pretend they didn’t see anything because they would rather plunge the world into darkness than let go of their stupid neoliberal ambitions.
Looks like reality has proven the liberals wrong, and the leftists correct yet again.
Just like I’ve been saying. Just like all leftists have been telling the Lemmy liberals all year.
Color me surprised. You did this, PugJesus.
Maybe liberals would take leftists more seriously if leftists could actually win an election.
They can't even elect one of their own as governor, much less president.
And there it is. Liberals aren’t actually leftists.
I replied to someone who just said leftists are right and liberals are wrong.
Ask them whether liberals are leftists.
Guess it’s time to start knitting 🧶
Where is the center?
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Ya boi WB Yeats, The Second Coming
So... you're tryna say... there is no center?
I'm not smart enough to decipher what's implied by the poem.
It’s just a poem I think describes what we’re all feeling. I think it’s about Jesus coming back.
Says the linkerbaan simp
Don’t be jealous.
I'm sure you're happy as fuck this happened.
Happy? No. Shocked? No. Democrats got people thinking we’re in a culture war, when we’ve always been in a class war.
I agree they need to actually try to court us leftists, but I don't agree that this proved anyone wrong. In order to do that you'd need to show a solid path to victory if they did court the left, which I'm not sure exists yet. I would love for it to, but America is in a pretty messed up place right now.
They should have given people on the left some reason to be motivated to vote though, not just fear. They failed to do so continuously.

This is the massive key that I really don't think the Democratic party understands. When people are scared, they vote conservative. There are literal studies that show fear is the driving force behind conservative voters. Democrats need to make them feel safe. That's one of the reasons Obama was so successful - he ran on change and hope. Fear works for Republicans. It doesn't work for Democrats. But they see fear working for Republicans, so they copy it.
I'm sure it's actually the fault of people on Lemmy who wanted Harris to win and in no way the mods who pretended letting trump simps troll for months was "allowing other opinions"
Dude, Lemmy is not statistically relevant enough to have mattered on this election.
Ah yes what a great reason to protect fascists
Oh I'm SURE that's it! 🙄
