Go ahead, keep blaming the voters and see if you ever win a vote that way. Or, you could realize that the entire job of the politician is to appeal to a voter and win their votes by adopting policy the voters want.
Go ahead. Keep believing the world is a special place for snowflakes like you. Keep imagining that your actions and inactions don't have consequences to the rest of the world. Keep thinking that the system is here for your entertainment and that no one will take advantage of your naivite. You and your uneducated ilk caused this. The republicans did exactly as you said, then turned face and here we are. Satisfied?
Entertainment? Hell no I'm not entertained. You're making a lot of assumptions about me. I voted for Harris. I did my part. Harris and the DNC failed to do their part in earning enough votes. Simple as that. Unlike you and the delusional DNC, my head isn't in the sand and blaming the voters and expecting them to just fall in line. Take a step back for a minute, hell take nearly 4 years of you have to, and look at the situation. You might realize it will be easier to adapt to what voters want instead of trying to adapt the millions of voters to what you want. Stop digging in your heels and join the real world before it's too late.
Call them what you will. And go ahead with your assumptions about me. I'm just asking them to take their heads out of the sand and acknowledge what they have allowed to happen. Be adults and own their choice. Quit blaming something else for a decision they themselves chose to make. Life is unfair. It's not as though you didn't know trump would take this turn.
I haven't made a single assumption about you. You keep parroting my words without taking that time to think about them. Maybe eventually you'll want better from your politicians and want them to actually win instead of blaming others for their failure.
What turn? He's doing exactly what he said he would do. The things that are majority of people apparently wanted him to do. If only the DNC had ran a candidate a majority of people wanted...
You're not seeing the bigger picture. You voted. It's all you could do. Thank you. Of course I want better from my politicians. Only I don't pretend my choice or non choice doesn't matter. Blaming the game is a children's cop out. I'm not excusing the system, I hate how it is. But it is, and there was an obvious existential threat that these sit out people chose to ignore. These people don't take their actions seriously nor understand that their actions matter.
You don't pretend the fire in your neighbours house doesn't matter, don't take action because you're upset that you might get burned, then get upset that your house burns down also. You first settle the fire, then figure how to make sure it doesn't happen again. It's EXACTLY the voters problem. Don't blame the system, and definitely don't allow an idiot to take the reins. They chose to believe the lies of an established liar and look what we got. They need to wake up to that fact. They're idiots.
