What about the party that lost the election, quite possibly by choosing to enable a genocide further, as it deemed that more important than winning the election? What about the party, that chose to ignore the devastating effects of inflation on normal Americans, instead of providing a concise plan of revamping the economy, as that would anger its billionaire donors?

Why blame the people instead of the Democratic party leaders, who remained steadfast at the side of the elites, leaving the people to be peddled to by Trump?

Come on. The party in office when inflation came back down. Inflation rate is near normal now. Blame them for not communicating effectively or blame voters for looking at cumulative inflation over four years, rather than resulting inflation

“what about…”

I don’t doubt that the Dems had a poor campaign. However, I’m totally allowed to blame the dumbasses that voted for fascism. These dumbasses are ultimately the ones that filled the box for our authoritarian future. I’ll say it again: fuck them.

Well now you got what you wanted: the hero to end the genocide. Any minute now they’ll stop the war effort, for fear of further angering the fuhrer

This toxic abusive browbeating is what just handed the election to Trump.

You shouldn’t be arguing with them, considering you just lost us and election.

Well i guess the 130ish Million people who voted for more genocide got what they wanted.

And we warned this would happen.

Because the pro Israel people had a safe vote with Trump. Harris trying not to take a strong stance, while further enabling the genocide tough, alienated people.

Now the silver lining is that Democrats have a chance to learn, that being against genocide is the only stance a supposedly progressive party can take. But they rather risked and chose to loose the election instead of being steadfast against genocide.

But you can already see here how people are blaming black and Arab voters. The white supremacy runs deep in both parties, so the idea that anything would have changed under Harris is laughable.

Maybe something would change under Harris. Maybe not.

But it is absolutely certain that it won’t change under Trump.

I am old enough and have gone through so many “vote for lesser of two evils” elections to be able to tell you that not voting for lesser of two evils is wrong. I myself skipped voting few times because I hated both sides. But absolutely every fucking time the worse person winning was a much, much worse outcome.

Everyone’s main enemy are billionaires. They have spent considerable resources making sure people vote for Trump.

And here we are, people whining how Harris didn’t make a promise to go after billionaires while at the same time enabling those same billionaires to do as they please, through Trump.

200 IQ move, indeed.

The Democrats having the chance to learn is going to be of limited use of Republicans build the fascist autocracy they intend to build.

I would have been happy if the Dems had stopped supporting genocide, saving tens of thousands of lifes and then winning in a landslide.

Thats what i advocated for for months. But the party would rather risk losing the election to Trump than stop sending weapons to a genocide.
