Good thing they got rid of Genocide Joe to pave the way Death dealing Donny

[-] McPoops@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Dem cheerleaders are blue maga. Nothing the Dems do are ever part of the problem; it's always someone else's fault.

It wasn't non-voters who forced the Dems and Biden to do the following:

  • For his first official act, Biden fought with his own party to prevent regular people from getting an already promised $600 check; completely ignoring the fact no one expected any PPP loans to be repaid.
  • Pulled a complete 180 on immigration, successfully building even more of the border wall and deporting more people than Trump.
  • Refusing to even entertain the idea of stopping Israel's genocide in Gaza, even at the known expense of voters.
  • Declared the Covid-19 pandemic over by simply no longer testing for it, despite it continuing to overwhelm hospitals and kill people, all so that people could be forced back into work.
  • Ripped pandemic era support away from citizens that was responsible for nearly eliminating childhood poverty and food insecurity; forcing people back into $7.25 an hour minimum wage jobs with no benefits.
  • Refused to do anything about the increasing violence and state hostility towards queer people, especially in red states.
  • Scolded to constituents for not giving Biden enough credit because they insisted the economy was great (but only for the wealthy.) They ignored that inflation (caused solely by corporate price gouging they refused to challenge) grew more than wages. Sure, wages began to outpace inflation, but total inflation since the start of the pandemic is still higher than wage growth in the same period.
  • Made student loan forgiveness a means-tested application process that they then sat on for two months, instead of immediately clearing balances and destroying documents, as if begging SCOTUS to block them.
  • Doing absolutely nothing to restrict the unchecked presidential powers they worked with the GOP to expand for the last several decades, even as the threat of a second, even more overtly fascist Trump administration became more and more likely.
  • Dicked around for 2 years not taking the prosecution against Trump seriously and making this entire ordeal a possibility in the first place.

This election was entirely the fault of the Democratic leadership. They failed. All blue maga does is try to deflect blame from them while they continue to screw all of us.

Maybe the political party should have conformed to the pressure of the people who vote in its party. Just saying.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

There is no reality in which America jeopardizes its relationship with its most important ally in the middle east.

Simply not an option.

So now we get to watch Dipshit Donny give Netanyahu free reign to turn Palestine to dust.

But if you're implying that Dems should have lied like Republicans lie and told their constituents that they'd stop supporting Israel in order to get re-elected, then yeah, they absolutely should have done that to prevent what we're about to experience.

Democrats are mentally incapable of even considering the possibility that their losing to Trump two out of the three times they've ran the exact same campaign and candidate is their own responsibility. No, it must be the *checks notes* people who wanted them to be a little more critical of killing Arabs who are responsible. Wonder who you'll blame when Trump inevitably runs for a third term and you decide to copy/paste your campaign strategy and candidate because you've learned abso-fucking-lutely nothing. I'm betting "people who don't worship trillionaires enough", because we'll have some by then.

If only they'd put this much effort into getting one person to change her mind on the issue, instead of trying to get 10 million people to change their morals.

It appears especially ghoulish now after it came out that even her campaign's polling showed that it was a losing position.

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

Morals are morals, but they shouldn't be completely uncompromising

In this case we had the status quo on one side and on the other, someone who was itching to throw the dial to 11 across the board.

At this point, any blood spilled as on their hands just as much as the DNC.

[-] McPoops@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 8 hours ago

What status quo was there when Dems allow the rollback of everything even when they're in power without even the suggestion of a fight? Unless you mean the status quo of everything continually getting worse under either party's admin.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

the status quo of everything continually getting worse under either party’s admin.

I always vomit a little in my mouth when I see comments like this.

Completely unaware of things like Dems providing cheap healthcare to vulnerable people (Obamacare) and lowering the cost of prescription medicine, and banning medical debt from showing up on credit reports, etc etc etc.

Only someone completely unaware of everything going on around them would state that the status quo for Dems is everything getting worse. Paying attention to the smallest degree destroys the lazy take that both parties are the same.

Coworker: "I hate trump, he should never be president!" Me: "So you're voting Harris?" Coworker: "I don't know if we're ready for a WoMaN president"

Asking for a friend, where is the nearest cliff? He would like to go jump off of it.

[-] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 21 points 10 hours ago

Why are you so concerned with "protest voters"? If every third party vote went to Democrats, Harris still would have lost.

It's way easier to blame a small amorphous group of people, but why don't you focus on winning? Harris got 6 million fewer votes than Biden. Do you think all those people stayed home because of Palestine?

Take this energy and put it towards something useful. Ignoring all the facts so you can punch left is pathetic.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

If every third party vote went to Democrats, Harris still would have lost.

Lol. This argument is so stupid.

Those fools voted not knowing if they would make the difference or not. And in other elections, it has.

They don't get a pass because their idiocy ended up not being the deciding factor.

[-] recreationalcatheter@lemm.ee 3 points 5 hours ago

Why aren't you? Tlwe just got several chunks of BAD news for palestine.

You really couldn't pretend to care any less, huh?

[-] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 19 points 10 hours ago

It's more about the people who didn't vote at all.

[-] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 7 points 9 hours ago

Those aren't "protest voters", are they?

Again, Harris got 6 *million" fewer votes than Biden and lost by 2 million votes. If you really believe that's because of Palestine, then you should be asking Harris why she didn't support Palestine.

But no reasonable person could think that Harris lost because of Palestine. So why is this such a big focus for liberals, instead of something that matters?

If winning in 2026 and 2028 doesn't involve punching left, are you even interested?

Imagine believing, after more than a year of unfettered genocide, that the other huge zionist was any better.

Libs are really losing it, Hiding out in these wacky meme bubbles.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Libs are really losing it

It's hard not to when you live in a society stupid enough to put an anti-democratic felon rapist insurrectionist in the Oval Office....twice.

[-] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago

It's almost like the Israel/Palestine issue was completely irrelevant to the election since there were only two choices and both treated it the same. Yet only the Democrat candidate lost votes over it. Funny how they worked. It's almost like someone engineered it

[-] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 19 points 11 hours ago
[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 8 hours ago

^ The entirety of the DNC's losing platform.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Yeah, but, we literally told them so.

Blame the DNC if you want if it makes you feel better.

We told them so and they still made a stupid decision. That makes them dumber than the DNC.

[-] bishbosh@lemm.ee 7 points 8 hours ago

See this doesn't really work when they are the one's that lost...

[-] McPoops@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 7 hours ago

And yet they're already trying to quadruple down on it.
