im not even from the US and i see this shit constantly on Lemmy
I have been accused of loving Democrats for saying things like "what are Democrats supposed to do about voters who would let trump win?" It's as though nuance was outlawed and people cannot understand that a problem can have multiple causes.
And yes I've heard all that about being inspiring. The reality is that educated people would've made very different voting choices. Americans are incredibly ignorant. Democrats can't hypnotize people into not being idiots
I find the concept of "voters were just to dumb, cant do anything about that" to be quite representative of what is wrong with the party. It is elitist, it is factually false and it is deeply undemocratic.
Yes I'm aware that people think nonvoters are helpless and then somehow find that better than being dumb
