What the fuck are you talking about I’ve heard it a million fucking times already. Its all anti-Harris lefties talk about.
Having fun with the fascism we’ve got instead? Thanks for that BTW. Real good. Really makes me motivated to fight for my rights when my follow lefties keep empowering fascists through inaction in the most simplistic and basic fucking democratic function of going to a polling place and voting once every 4 years for the lib that’ll beat the fascist.
I really wanna go fight ICE in hand to hand combat and get shot in the fucking face knowing this probably could have been prevented.
Also if you are going to complain that I’m not bagging on the centrist/liberal dems for losing because they refused to budge left: I fucking hate them too, you can both suck shit directly out of my asshole.
Progressives do vote for centrists. Centrists do not return the favor and vote for progressives. Harris didn’t lose because the left staying home; the left held their nose and voted for her, even though that loyalty is a one-way street. She lost because she was such a dog shit candidate that she couldn’t drive enough people who aren’t highly politically engaged to the polls. The only reason she lost the election was because of her own poor decisions. Stop blaming the left for the failures of centrist democrats.
She lost because Dems stayed home, low turnout in key Democratic areas. No matter how bad you think she was as a candidate you’re not going to convince me that she was worse than the dog shit candidate that won, and that’s on the people that stayed home.
She was objectively worse. Trump represented his base. Kamala didn’t. Trump is objectively the better politician. He gave his base exactly what they wanted. She refused to, preferring to pander to wealthy conservatives instead. You can argue she had better policies, but you cannot argue that she wasn’t an absolute dogshit candidate. She was simply bad at being a politician and had no business being at the top of the ticket.
You need to separate quality of policies from quality of candidate. You’ll never make any progress as long as you keep conflating the two.
Today I learned a prosecutor with a doctorate in law who has committed no crimes and ran a campaign primarily focused on unity and inclusion is objectively worse than a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist who illegally attempted to overturn an election after inciting an insurrection and ran a campaign based on hate and fear.
She refused to, preferring to pander to wealthy conservatives instead.
She refused to lie through her fucking teeth to her base or make enemies of our fellow Americans to win an election. And she gave a podium to a prominent conservative that spoke out against Trump. Maybe not a great move, but not some betrayal.
She also ran with virtually no preparation out of necessity.
We can keep blaming Harris or we can start blaming stupid fucking Americans that jeopardized our democracy because she wasn’t the best candidate ever. Like, what kind of broken fucking brain thinks “well, she’s not that great, so let me gamble with a felon rapist traitor instead”?
Reading comprehension. You’re confusing policies for candidate quality. Trump was a good politician with shitty policies. Kamala was a dog shit politician with ok policies.
It’s pointless to blame the electorate because they’re not going anywhere. Or are you more of a Zionist type, who would prefer just killing the electorate if they don’t vote your way?
I’m blaming anyone who choose not to vote for her who were center or left of center. Anyone. As stated: if you are to my right or to my left and you explicitly choose not to vote for Harris and could have, you can suck shit.
If you discouraged people from voting for her: you can suck shit. If you constantly criticized her and barely talked about how fucking dangerous Trump is in general political discourse: you can suck shit.
Any American that isn’t braindead stupid knew what was on the line this election.
And any American that knew what was on the line voted for Harris.
You can blame Democrats all day, and they do shoulder some blame, but the majority of the blame falls on stupid fucking Americans that couldn’t rub some brain cells together, not a party that isn’t great at messaging.
And what do you hope to accomplish by blaming the electorate? They’re not going anywhere. You can bitch about the voters all you want. But ultimately, if you fail to appeal to them, that just means you’re a bad politician. Complaining about voters is like complaining about the weather.
Yeah, there are a lot of stupid fucking idiots out there, including on Lemmy, that are going to do the same stupid fucking thing they did last time and either not vote or vote for a 3rd party candidate that cannot, under any circumstance, win. And we’ll descend even further into fascism.
Lot of stupids. But as I scroll down these comments, the majority are calling this meme out for the stupid fucking bullshit that it is. So I still have a little hope. I’m sure that’ll get destroyed in the near future.
