So you have an average normal politician running against literally Hitler. And people vote for literally Hitler.

And you don't think the problem is the people voting for literally Hitler?

Don't get me wrong, the US voting system is also bad. But that is really, really not the main problem here...

IMO the bigger problem is that the "average normal politician" managed to be so bad that voters didn't feel motivated to vote against Hitler.

This should have been a slam dunk - and there were literally a number of easy ways to motivate voters, like promising to stop the ongoing genocide the country is funding. But when given the choice between "letting Hitler win" and "stopping the genocide", Harris and the entire DNC leadership chose to let Hitler win.

Isn't that deeply fucked up?

It was a slam dunk. I still know trump supporters who think everything negative said about him is a lie. Why did this never happen in human history before (an unrelenting smear campaign running for over a decade against an innocent man)? Meh I dunno something about woke.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Harris's win obviously wasn't a slam dunk, she lost.

[-] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 16 points 16 hours ago

yeah but she COULD have won retroactively if we browbeat people who already vote blue for the next ten years about it

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Yeah... Were totally mad at people who voted blue. You're so right. 😬

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago

I meant she was the obvious choice to anyone with >3 working neurons.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

She was! But since a rather large portion of the US public seems to have 0-3 neurons, it's not enough to be the obvious choice for everyone else.

Harris and her campaign knew this. They had polls clearly showing that she's so bad at motivating voters that she'll likely lose.

No, it was the voters fault that Harris decided to fish for the republican vote by shifting more to the right in her rhetoric. Those stupid people should have voted blue no matter who!

Funding a genocide is not normal.

If you had this system in Europe you would not like the results. Best outcome: 200 years of middle of the road conservative shit Christian party

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

Yeah, I agree. If this can ever happen all you can really say is that us culture is cancer.
