MODERATORS
It's not the voter's fault. Candidates should earn votes not expect them. The Dems chose a shit candidate and lost as a result. They'll learn nothing from this and probably move further right.
It abso-fucking-lutely is the voters fault as well as the party's. They knew the options and chose the worst possible one. Get the fuck out of here with that whitewashing bullshit. Even when you have a shit choice, you're still making the choice, and it's on you too.
That goes for the voters just as much. Next time we're staring down a fascist and a shitty dem, we'll pick the fascist because the Dems has to have a spotless record or we'll piss away any progress we have in a temper tantrum.
I fucking hate my fellow Americans.
It is the candidate's job to entice voters. Kamala and the dnc failed. There should be a purge of leadership but they'll probably just do it all again in 2028. The lesser-Evil argument has never been a good one. Vote shaming has never been a successful tactic either but please feel free to continue lol
Whatever helps you sleep at night with the choices you made friend.
I'm not here to shame anyone. You knew what was at stake when you pulled the lever, I hope you're happy with the outcome. I'm just not going to let people abdicate the responsibility they're trying to shirk for the choices they made.
But you'll be happy to note that I won't be interacting with you again, because I've got no time for cowards who shift blame for consequences of decisions they've made.
My Dem representative expressed disappointment at the result this morning and then IMMEDIATELY pivoted to reaching across the aisle and working with the Republicans and trump administration to pass bipartisan legislation to help ALL Americans.
FUCKING LEARNING DISABLED
