Don't blame them, blame the people who didn't vote
Let's blame everyone for everything they did wrong. Blaming people who did nothing before you blame the actual Trump voters is literally insane.
But also blame the DNC for running a de-energizing campaign yet again.
People who weren't energized enough by the perspective of Trump don't count as citizens anyway. I don't know what type of energy you personally wanted, but nothing will work on those who saw Trump's shitshow and decided to sit this one out because Kamala didn't dance enough or whatever
I think people were more tired because Kamala was dancing too much. As in, she and Biden were just there for show and didn't really accomplish much. I did vote for her, but it wasn't because of anything they did.
It might be because you didn't pay attention to what the administration actually did. There is a problem that US citizens fundamentally don't know what the president can or can't do and what the processes are.
My main concern always has been and always will be Climate Change. His BBB program was never going to address that in a serious way.
It would have been nice to have more efforts reuniting those separated families that happened during Trump.
For me, the economy comes in way behind those issues.
I recently looked specifically for info on the separated kids, and all I could quickly find was an article saying the Biden administration had re-united several hundred families, but without any estimate of how many remained probably -permanently separated. Do you know a source for actual numbers on this?
Maybe the fact that people need to be "energized" in order to fucking vote is the problem?
Like I'm sorry, but "you just didn't energize me enough" is not a valid excuse for anyone not to vote, ever. Just goes to show the depth of the average American voter. Just completely devoid of critical thought.
not a valid excuse for anyone not to vote, ever
I'm so sick of authoritarian pricks pretending they get to decide what is and is not valid in our system. People not voting is valid and the DNC failed to get them to change their mind
Stop huffing copium and deal with reality
My favorite is the old standby, "If you don't vote, you have no right to complain."
The DNC has more power and resources to do something about it then I do. I can chew out individual people I meet, but I don't really have the logistical rouses to go around telling 160 million people that Trump would be worse.
And yes, the American voter lacks critical thought. It's something that takes a back seat to sports or job training in public education.
No, blame Biden and his stupid arrogance.
The man knows his brain is melting AND he knows his presidency is unpopular, but sure, he's going to waste months of campaign time and tens of millions of dollars, and then, to make it even better, he's going to make sure no one in the Democratic Party tries to react to it like a reasonable person and politician.
Biden made plenty of mistakes but ultimately the people who didn't vote are the most directly responsible, full stop.
Each individual voter only had a say in their own vote unless they campaigned as well. Biden was in the position to change how he was seen by all voters. Who has more responsibility here?
The people who voted for Trump are obviously the most directly responsible, full stop with parking brake.
And so they deserve fascism.
This attitude will forever lose, you know that, right? This unwillingness to adapt is loser behavior.
And so they deserve fascism.
Yeah, the person you replied to definitely did not say that.
Yes, they did.
This is the same smarmy, condescending attitude we got with Hillary Clinton. The DNC refuses to learn anything, they patronize people with "the stars shine brightest in the night sky," and turn their nose up at their base for being too stupid to know what's good for them.
It's not enough to be 'correct' when the ship is sinking, we have to win.
The democrats knew genocide decreases voter turnout. They did it anyway. The democrats knew ending covid protections, banning tiktok, restarting student loan repayments, etc all lower voter turnout. They did it anyway.
You can wish that we lived in a world where these things didn't lower voter turnout, but that's not productive.
Only the democrats had the power to change the outcome of this election.
