    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.

    You don’t get to have a “perfect” candidate. Most of the time, your choices are between which choice you dislike the least. And when the choices are between Harris and another 4 years of Donald farking Trump . . . well holy jumping shitballs . . . that should have been the easiest choice in the world.

    Fark EVERYONE who made this possible. And enjoy your precious little “protest vote” Dems. This is your fault, too.

      Like Dearborn? Where Arab Americans had been sounding alarm bells for months about how democrats were losing them? How they were upset about their brothers and sisters being blown the fuck up in Palestine and Lebanon? How leftists were vehemently warning for months that Kamala’s callous take on the middle east “Im speaking now 🤫”, could cost her the election?

      Your comment is just thinly-veiled racism. Next time, just say you blame american fascism on american Muslims.

      And now that you are reaping, you’re lashing out. In textbook liberal fashion, you’re scapegoating minorities as fascism starts to come knocking.

      If you can honestly look at the complete ineptitude of the democrat establishment and Kamala’s race, and still blame minorities, then I feel like I know which side you’re going to take when shit really starts getting volatile here.

        You WISH it was just your fault

        I AM a minority. One the Palestinians and Muslims in general dont actually like as it happens.

        Ah, hello, dipshit. Let’s explain math, the “uncommitted” stunt resulted in Trump winning MI. Trump has said that he would untether Israel. So now the Arab community is in an even wworse position and there will be more death in the middle east. It’s just that simple.

        And fuck you straight to hell for suggesting I’m racist. You don’t know shit. I’m fucking half Syrian. Enjoy the bed of shit you helped make with your flawed logic. Harris would have pushed for peace - Bibi put Dems in an impossible position by deliberately scuttling peace talks until after the election.

        Also, it wasn’t just the Arab community. There are plenty of morons who think they’re enlightened third party voters that also played into Trump’s hands.

    Yes, a Very Special Thanks to the morally pure angels who refused to vote for Kamala Harris because they were standing on high ground about some issue they disliked her on. Well done, fuckheads.
