    Ah nice, you’re getting a head start on the “blame the voter” strategy for the next election. Good job!

    “If liberals are so fucking smart why do they lose so goddamn always?”

    • Will McAvoy “The Newsroom”

    I don’t think it’s fair to blame voters when it’s the politician’s job during s campaign to convince people they’re worth voting for.

    Adopting unpopular centrist policies and aligning more and more with centrist Biden’s policies as the campaign went on is just going to fill voters with apathy.

    The Democrats, once again, didn’t give us a candidate to vote for, only one to vote against. And I think the American people are sick of that carrot-stick routine, the Dems need to actually adopt popular policies.

    And the establishment Dems are going to fight that tooth and nail.

        We didn’t. Most people did. Candidates running for office are a popularity contest. Biden has low approval ratings, Harris said she’s Biden and wouldn’t change most polices.

        Trump is much much worse, and I voted for Harris in California despite knowing it didn’t change how North Carolina or Iowa could have gone.

        At some point “I’m not Trump” gets tired and going “I’m just like the guy in office who was so unpopular he dropped out, but I will give Republicans what they want on border policy and appoint them to my cabinet” reads more like Diet Trump than “I will give you policies that sway people away from fascism.”

          Even a single life less harmed is worth it for that vote. People clearly arent that ethically committed if they needed to be convinced to vote against this

        I voted for Harris. Roughly 60% of American voters who are eligible don’t vote.

        Harris needed to convince those voters that she was either worth voting for, or Trump was worth voting against.

        She failed to convince them of either, so they stayed home, along with 14 million Dem voters she failed to convince to vote blue like they did in 2020.

      Trump is going to have/help Israel just erase Gaza and the Palestinians as a people, there will be no need for any “solution”. And this is apparently what all these people sitting out wanted in the end. Hope they enjoy the view from their high horse.

    Utterly bizarre. I expected Trump might squeak out an electoral win, but the popular vote as well? Thanks everyone who stayed the fuck home. You sat by as fascism was ushered in to the US.
