MODERATORS
A third of eligible voters didn't vote. The remaining people who did vote were almost evenly split. So, in rough numbers, 1/3rd of American voters put us all in this mess.
No, 2/3rds.
The third-ish that voted for Trump, and the third-ish that didn't vote for Harris.
In other words, the majority of Americans either wanted this government, or didn't care if this was the government.
Exactly one organization is to blame, the one that finally got Biden to step down long after it was clear he had no chance, just to replace him with someone who promises to change nothing.
The only reasonable explanation is that the Democrats threw the election on purpose. They very well know what it takes to motivate the voters and they did the exact opposite by putting Republicans on the campaign stage with Harris.
Oh piss off
I might, outside of the beef with Harris, that are kinda right. Dem advisors seem to have deliberately sunk the campaign once they took over and they seem to be pushing for another loss by moving even more right.
Here's a simpler explanations: DNC is an umbrella party with many different factions. Sometimes they miscalculate, make mistakes, and are raked over coals for it.
Compare that with RNC. Their voters show up to vote for R no matter what RNC does.
It's not DNC management's duty to go left. It's the duty of American leftists to push them left and withholding votes isn't the way to do it.
Exactly.
So, obviously, trying to appeal to them is at best a waste of time.
The threat to withhold our vote is the only leverage we have to effect change within the party. Of course I'm voing to use it.
shouldve seen the excuses on reddit, right after the election.
