This is what happens when we let conservatives have any sort of power in society
any sort of power, they have it ALL now, because not enough Democrats figured it was important enough to simply cast a vote in Novembers election. more arab and latino americans voted for donald trump than have ever voted for any republican candidate before in american history. leftists told anyone that would listen they weren't going to vote for "genocide joe" while marching on every major american city chanting "from the river to the sea", while flooding social media with anti israel and anti democratic party messaging, the result of which was democratic youth vote was the lowest it's ever been in american history, while republican youth vote was the highest it's ever been. with everything on the line democratic youth couldn't find it within themselves to defend the republic, by doing the lowest effort simplest action by casting a ballot in a safe, free, and fair election. donald trump won his second term as president by ~2.3% of the vote.
Blaming the voters is most of the reason you're in the position you're in, you do understand that, right?
Why blame politicians running bad campaigns when you can blame the voters for not being invested in a bad campaign?
¿Por Qué No Los Dos?
I am not going to defend the democrats one bit. I voted for them in order to oppose this shit storm we find ourselves in.
However, anybody who voted for Trump was alive for his first term, and he got MORE votes this time around. Fuck the voters.
Yep. And this way you don't need to make any changes, or do even the smallest amount of introspection. Just keep fucking up the same way, over and over again.
I just want to clarify that Arab and Latino Americans voting for Trump is marginal and would be insignificant if white voters weren't in the bag for fascism already.
White women are the only marginalized group that fuck with Republicans in numbers.
I voted for Harris in nov. But you are blaming the people with the least amount of power.
Democrats could have… you know… appealed to their voters instead of fund and arm a genocide, fund the police more than has ever been done, and ran on racist border fascism. They didn’t appeal to their voters and their voters didn’t show. Harris, Biden and all the people advising them should be the ones we direct our anger at not the voters who didn’t vote for something they weren’t inspired by.
Yeah agreed on all of that and yet the vote was still the easiest fucking choice of our lifetimes
It's interesting that I see this kind of sentiment, shifting the blame onto everyone who's anti-genocide, mostly from people who were also repeatedly defending if not downplaying Israel's genocide. I wonder how your removed comments in the modlogs look.
There were many issues with how the Democratic Party ran their campaign.
Democrats' Working-Class Failures, Analysis Finds, Are 'Why Trump Beat Harris'
2024 Post-Election Report: A retrospective and longitudinal data analysis on why Trump beat Harris
The slogan From the River to the Sea is about Palestinian liberation that started in the 60s by the PLO for a democratic secular state, not Genocide. The Syrian leader Hafez al-Assad in 1966 maybe, but he's not Palestinian. While there's been 500+ Instances of Israeli Incitement to Genocide – Continuously Updated, on top of Netanyahu explicitly stating “between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty.”
If they were too insignificant to listen to, they're too insignificant to blame.
