Many of those people could have been swayed to vote democrat if the democrats fucking addressed the actual fucking issues and actually gave them a damn narrative to go by. Saying everything is fine when nothing is fine and the Republicans are constantly screwing them over (while also 100% deflecting ALL blame elsewhere) is delusional at best.
Also fuck AIPAC.
I've done a lot of posts critical of the posture and actions of the Democrat Party and their whole "If you don't vote you're voting Trump" propaganda (which are right there in my post history with lots of for and against votes), but as I see it the point being made by this tweet is different.
I don't read this tweet as being about people who didn't vote at all because the present day Democrat party, Democrat Candidate and Democrat President's actions didn't appeal to them (which is what seems to be responsible for the Democrat loss), I think it's about people who actually explicitly voted Trump (so, none of that "implictly voting Trump if you don't vote" bollocks but actually putting their vote on Trump)
And I absolutelly agree with this tweet: that man is a complete total worm - in everything from what he's done to what he says and even his body language - and on top of that was offering scapegoating and hate as policies.
I can get it that some people couldn't bring themselves to vote for the Genocidal ethno-Fascist supporting, pro-Oligarchy hard-right Neoliberal, slimy snakesoil salesman liar Democrats, but anybody actually voting Trump is not simply distrusting of or dissapointed with the modern day Democrat Party, they're active supporters of an even broader and deeper kind of nastiness.
While reading the beginning of this comment, I thought I had actually witnessed a "genocide joe" moron admit they were wrong... But nope.
Never gonna happen, is it?
Clearly in your mind people can only be one of two things: for your tribe and all it stands for or against your tribe and all it stands for.
This is exactly the same simpleton take on human beings and Politics as far-right muppets such as Trumpists have.
It's not surprising you called me moron: Psychological Projection is also another trait of simpleton tribalists.
