Maybe it’s time to start focusing on reasons to vote for a candidate instead of against one. Trump got less votes than 2020 and won.

Just because the election is called does not mean we are done counting votes.

The largest state (California) only has 50% counted.

Trump will likely surpass his 2020 total.

I have to second this one.

Most of the people I hang with tend towards 3rd party. All of them proudly touted their votes for the democratic candidate in this/the last election, but each was also very clear they were only voting that way as a way to vote against Trump.

They all hate Biden and Harris.

I don’t think that tweet is saying it’s the democrat’s fault, but that we have to give more attention to this fact.

I mean Matt McDermott is a democratic strategist himself.

IMO, partial blame on the Democratic Party for not successfully countering rightwing propaganda techniques and for executing some flawed policies; partial blame on citizens who chose not to vote or chose to protest vote against them; and mega huge absolute blame on the Republican Party for promulgating bigotry and lies and on their voters for not critically examining this disinfo, not having the heart to care about their fellow persons, believing that they must adhere to their in-group, and for also repeating the aforementioned disinfo and bigotry.

Each of these is a point of failure and must be remedied if we want to actually have a decent society to live in.

If only they had compromised more and reached across the aisle harder. That will surely fix it next time.

It’s obvious that Liz Cheney wasn’t enough. Next time we must revive Henry Kissenger to get his endorsement. Surely that’ll win the moderates

And an AI clone of Ronald Reagan, just to be sure.

You honestly don’t see any left wing bias in the media? Be honest now. Honest.

Left wing bias? Like anything remotely anti-capitalist?

No, never seen it from anything remotely mainstream.

they aren’t saying all media. they’re saying that the media conservatives consume is like that. this is about the media and information bubble that you clearly exist in.

I see what Americans have been conditioned into believing is “left wing” - aka neoliberalism - but absolutely none of it save for a few streamers and podcasters are actually left.

It’s all right of center and the difference is that the American “lefties” hide their imperialistic racism, or convince themselves they don’t have any.
