It's cute how people want the dems to put on their cape and save them.
They offered a crime fighter instead of a felon. They offered someone who can identify with four separate disparaged groups and who held 2-3 college degrees. They offered America's mom and dad.
People couldn't come out and vote. America doesn't want them.
Those who voted at all chose an elitist 34-time felon who victimized women, who tried quid-pro-quo for aid relief, incited insurrection and then pardoned people collectively guilty of terrorism and felony murder, stole and hid secret documents, and engaged in keystone conspiracy to avoid prosecution and return of those docs -- and some are still missing. You voted a lock into two branches of government when they already controlled the third. Like, just, how dumb are you?
Please ask yourself what you're entitled to at this point, and maybe change your fucking tone. Start with "sorry" and end with "how can we help"?
Release the downvotes. Begin projecting. Just stop the fucking bleating.
They offered a genocidist, who campaigned with the Cheneys. Maybe next time, the Democrats could offer a candidate that the people actually want.
I liked Kamala Harris. But getting the Cheneys on her side made me wonder if we were the baddies.
I'm not a Democrat, so take this with a grain of salt: I think the Democratic leadership are indeed the baddies (just like the Republican leadership). I think most Democratic voters are well-intentioned people, who've been suckered into beliving the lies leadership.
It's OK to be suckered in. I've been suckered into a lot of things. To broadly paraphrase: The best time to realize you've been suckered is yesterday. The next best time to realize is today.
What the people wanted:
Better than that genocidist bitch!
"You can have an American cheese sandwich with mayo or eat literal shit and elect a fascist. What doncha want?"
^This asshole: I wasn't given a solid choice!
I'm not sure most people did want Trump. His approval rating is terrible, and the majority of people didn't vote for him.
I think a better analogy would be: Do you want a shit-sandwich, or a shit-sandwich with rainbow sprinkles.
Are the rainbow sprinkles better? I guess yeah, techinically. But I'm still not eating the sandwich. Maybe next time, the Democrats should leave the shit out of the sandwhich.
