    This comment section is truly something else, when all your rights are stripped away and the US descends further into fascism are you going to continue to blame the Democrats or realise the choice to vote against Trump was also an option?

    Tough decision I know vote for the status quo where everyone was still relatively comfortable and all had rights or not vote and let the fascists in and watch all your rights get stripped.

    Edit: The leopards are feasting on those that voted for Trump as well as those that did not vote at all.

        The south gave us Trump, the south and their pure racist hatred.

        You’re blaming the opposition party for the holocaust, blame the monsters who voted for Hitler instead.

        Nah, I blame those that did not vote. Given how load Trumps campaign was in their rhetoric means if you did not vote at all is just as good as voting for him. Democrats messaging my ass, atop blaming others when the non-voters need to look at themselves and ask themselves why did they allow this to happen when it was well within their power and right to stop it.

            I would have voted for shit on a wall before I would have allowed the chance of allowing Trump get in considering his rhetoric was nazi lite.

            How about you all reflect on the fact that democracy only survives if you participate to protect it.

                So your argument is that the Democrats was not perfect and in the same arena was Trump throwing out fascist rhetoric and your end conclusion is to not vote because the Democrats was not perfect? I just want to make sure I understand yours as well as the non-voters logic. Because for those actually paying attention this was a pretty easy choice.

                Edit: Help me understand why the blame gets passed onto the Democratic party entirely when the power to have stopped this was with the voters that decided to not vote.

                  Actively supporting a genocide is a tad far from “not being perfect”.

                  It does not matter how you try to spin it. Democrats have lost to the easiest opponent they could wish for. We can look back and conclude that you are wrong and I am right.

                    So lets play this out, both parties was the same with Gaza yes?

                    Edit: If you are afraid to see how failed your logic is then by all means don’t answer.

      the status quo where everyone was still relatively comfortable

      This statement is so out of touch. People voted for Trump over the Democrats because they were struggling to make ends meet in an economy where a huge amount of the populace is a missed paycheck away from having to choose between being evicted from their homes or feeding their family. The cost of living continues to rise on a monthly basis and the Democrats’ response was to tell us we had the best economy in the world. They believed Trump when he said he’d fix it over Harris when she said she wouldn’t distance herself from Biden’s agenda.

      In hindsight, things can always get worse and we can see now that they have. But six months ago people were not comfortable but rather desperate and the Dems were unwilling to take radical action when Trump promised he would.
