At some point we need to tell the "internet people who tell us who to blame" that hillary would have won in 2016 if not for the electoral college. At some point people just give up and that was the entire democratic party in 2024.
Not a single person in the democrats has a plan to fix democracy in the US and until they do the gerrymandering, electoral college and republican rule by minority will continue
Cool story, would still have been nice to avoid the transgender genocide or killing health insurance.
I'm sure all the finger pointing at neighbors will help, instead of, you know, taking 5 minutes to understand how we got here and why its going to continue.
65 million don't vote. "But Trump" is not a legit platform to run on. You have to give voters something to vote for. Dems fucked up
That's exactly it. Dems keep throwing winnable elections and when they do get power they don't attempt to implement any reforms to make it harder for republicans to hold power both electorally and monetarily so their voters get poorer and disenfranchised and leave.
Yeah all that "reform" is really happening now, isn't it?
I mean Zorhan is a good sign things might finally be changing.
Donald Trump is the president you fucking moron. Happy to vote for Biden in 2020 but not Harris, essentially just a younger Biden.
Two options. You're phony or you're stupid.
I voted for Harris in California. I didn't like it and it didn't impact much, but I did. She still lost because she didn't make herself different enough from Biden, who had low polling rates, plus courted Republicans who got us into this mess.
Democratic VOTERS fucked up, the party did not. So many pathetic excuses for such a stupid decision in November.
The party didn't even hold a primary and said you have to vote for who we tell you to vote for. "Ugh fine, what is she running on?" ... "Nothing! Do you want Trump to win?"
That's why I voted for Biden and it was much better than this. I never liked him. Still don't.
Amazing how they refuse to blame the people with more data, money, and people instead of the people who are in states that didn't matter (solid blue or solid red).
The problem is that should have been the only platform needed, but still wasn't enough
I can do both, don't worry.
That's EXACTLY what OP is doing.
Why? They won in 2020....
Did you all fucking forget or something?
Keep waiting for perfection, dumbass. Meanwhile, Republicans are destroying the country.
You're so right, support for genocide was just a minor mark against perfection. Keep compromising, soon you'll be agreeing that democrats shouldn't fight for marriage equality because some other issue is on the table and we shouldn't let perfect be the enemy of slightly better than rabid nazis.
2020 was only winnable for biden because trump fucked up covid so bad. The media hole is so assymmetric that a solid 25% of the US population (including donald trump, because this shit works on him too) believe biden was president in 2020. The fabricated immigration crisis was also extremely successful. Democrats keep trying to meet halfway on whole lies and it never worked.
Dems did nothing to break up the media/tech oligarchs during that time and now we're paying for it. Dems have to be willing to play hard ball democracy. And most likely ICE and the FBI will make a bunch of crazy arrests during election season to try and hamper elections and smear candidates.
