    The dems are entirely lame while in office.

    That’s still LEAGUES better than the genocidal fascists of the GOP.

    Maybe if you want progressive reforms, stop bitching and vote for progressives in the primaries. Not that it’ll matter now since millions let the fascists win so we won’t have any elections any more.

      The dems dropped the ball in the 2024 election, by pretending Biden was sharp as a tack and gaslighting us about his mental health until they couldn’t hide it anymore during that disastrous debate, and since they lied about him so long, they replaced him with someone who flopped HARD in 2020 and lost the election in 2024.

      I voted for Bernie Sanders in the primaries and watched as the DNC did everything they could to destroy him and install a good little establishment guy like Biden.

      When Trump’s a psychopath and the opposition keeps gaslighting us about the mental health of the president so long that they have no choice but to hand pick a replacement because it’s too late for a primary, a lot of people are just going to say “fuck it” and not vote.

      They’re still being delusional and refusing to face facts. Hopefully they can learn from this.

        I get where the DNC fucked up.

        Everyone except the DNC acknowledges where they fucked up.

        Its the millions of leftist voters who are in a desperate need of self reflection for how they fucked up by boycotting the election.

        Millions of marginalized peoples’ loves were at stake with the 2024 election, both domestically and abroad. People who leftists are supposed to care about, advocate for, and pico the best VIABLE option for, which was Kamala.

        Boycotting Kamala wasn’t “sticking it to the Dems”. It was deatroying the future and lives of the millions of marginalized people the boycotting left abandoned to fascism.

        Its extremely easy for those in pirivelge, be it financial, racial, sex, gender, etc, to look at Kamala by herself and proclaim she was a shitty candidate. She was, objectively.

        But 2024 wasn’t about Kamala, it was about millions of people who now have ICE and the military dissapearing them, and canceling elections nation wide in 2026 and on.

        We cannot keep pretending everything that’s happening was an unknown. We were warning people about P2025 for over a year, but self righteous egomaniacal leftists either didn’t listen, didn’t believe it, or simply don’t actually give a fuck about the marginalized people now being sent to concentration camps.

          Hi, we didn’t vote for Kamala because she’s a genocidal freak. You’re the one who didn’t care about genocide. Bye. :)

                If you chose not to vote, you voted for even more genocide. You had the opportunity to choose less genocide and decided not to.

                Congratulations, dumbass.

          The DNC needed to do a lot better to challenge Trump and they failed miserably. They propped up a guy who could barely form a coherent sentence. If they really, seriously believed Donald Trump was the existential threat to this country that he totally is, they should have been up front about Biden’s mental health in time to hold a real primary.

          Kamala Harris didn’t lose because she is a woman of color. She lost because (A) she’s a terrible candidate who can’t answer questions consistently, as also seen when she ran in 2020, and (B) people felt like they were lied to by the Dems so long that they lost faith in the entire political process and didn’t show up to vote. To act like Trump lied and the DNC told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth is just plain wrong. The truth is, in a democracy, nobody is owed any votes, ever, and you can’t just blame the citizens.

      And the dems aren’t genocidal? Give me a break. People forget the genocide started and was aided by Biden. Before him people forget that all presidents (including Obama) had the same foreign policy of bombing brown people.
