Here’s my point of view on the situation. I voted for the Dems as a lesser of two evils but I cannot fault those who couldn’t bring themselves to do the same. In the end the Dems lost because they were more willing to risk a Donald Trump presidency than they were to stop actively committing a genocide. I blame them. I blame the party for being so willing to risk the election on an issue they knew was going to hurt because at the end of the day supporting that genocide was more important than any other outcome.
Why is it you blame random fucking people and not the party who had all that data, all that polling, all that info that continuing to support the genocide was hurting them and chose to plow forth anyways? You are blameing people who don’t want to vote for a genocide instead of the people that threw the election to continue it?
Genuinely. Man to whatever gender you are, level with me here. Do you really see the Dems as having less responsibility for losing that election than the random faceless amalgamation of leftists who couldn’t bring themselves to say yes to a genocide? Is that truly where you want to stand?
Once again. I voted for the Dems. I made that lesser evil judgement. I am saying it’s the Dems fault for losing that election.
True! One is an ocean of random people with their own beliefs, reasons and personal choices. The other is an institution. An organization with a plan. A plan they wrote themselves. A plan they get detailed statistics and polling data on. A plan in which they saw what they needed to do to win and chose not to, effectively betting on anti trump sentiment to keep them from doing the thing parties in their position are supposed to do. Concede to the people and make concessions. Instead they said “status quo, steady as she goes” mid genocide, mid rent crisis, post covid and they lost that bet. No one is to blame other than the gamblers who played power politics and lost to fascists.
The people are not an organized voting block able to strategically maneuver their votes. That’s what a party is for. That’s it’s whole purpose. And the Democrats failed as a party in that election due to their inability to stop committing a genocide, to stop pandering to mid right voters via radio silence on trans issues and active abandonment of immigrants via the adoption of 2016 trump immigration policy.
I mean come the fuck on, she was talking about FINISHING THE FUCKING WALL, the thing we all agreed was the dumbest thing ever. What do you want when the party runs someone like that?
I get you people who wanna blame the leftist in your life or on the Internet you saw saying they wouldn’t be voting. I get that you blame them. But you should blame the party who thought they could win without conceding anything whatsoever to any of the marginalized groups who had no other choice. They learned that there in fact was a 3rd choice and now we all suffer the Democrats incompetence
