Yeah, he won through good old misinformation, propaganda, and blatant lies because his opposition can't keep the successful message of hope and change going to engage apathetic voters like Obama did and would instead rather pal around with Liz Cheney and Netanyahu to try and peel away MAGA voters.
While voter suppression and Republican election meddling is a real issue, our country sucking is the real underlying problem. We couldn't even do a fucking thing about the insurrection four years ago.
If anyone couldn't see how Trump would be worse than Harris, that is honestly their fault. And now we are seeing the proof of that. It wasn't a hypothetical, we already experienced Trump once, and we're being proven right about him again. This isn't a failing of the DNC to inform people of this, they screamed it at the top of their lungs. They said it during the debates. I was jazzed to vote Harris and keep that asshole away from office. But to enough people, things like that didn't matter and they voted against their best interests, and now things are going to get substantially worse than if they voted Harris.
If anyone couldn't remember what life was like 4 years ago during the pandemic (and throughout Trump's first presidency), that's on them. I honestly can't care about people's issues with the DNC when we're faced with an entirely worse option like Trump. The time for fighting to reform the DNC is during midterms where grassroots candidates can gain traction without threat of us losing it all. Allowing a much smaller volume of complaints about the DNC to take precedent over the tremendous evil Trump presents is a failing of the voters and is why we need the department of education more than ever. This is our brexit.
Building back our institutions after this is going to be much more difficult than it is tearing them down. If Democrats win the next election, I wonder if they're going to be blamed for not fixing things fast enough after their predecessor... Like, oh I dunno... The economy?

So many fucking people here desperate to absolve themselves of their idiotic decision to vote for Trump, a third party, or not at all. They desperately want to believe that Democrats would be just as bad, and that it's the DNC's fault that they chose to ignore the dozens of people who explained to them exactly why they were making a bad choice.
Anything to avoid taking responsibility.
Just before the election I was still coming across people absolutely incensed that Biden hadn't fixed the college loan issue yet.
The fact that it kept getting blocked by Trump judges was completely fucking lost on them. OK cool... Now he gets to appoint more. That should help /s
