I wasn’t the biggest fan but I voted for Harris because I know that change will never happen by handing a fascist the keys to the White House to teach democrats a lesson.
A big thanks to the DNC who absolutely fucked up what should have been a slam dunk, quit blaming people at the bottom. Punch up and punch right.
FYI, that's a parody account making fun of Matt Walsh. Despite the horrors of Project 25 and what that will likely do, dunking on people who mostly agree with you politically with misinformation is stooping to conservative playbooks.
Not saying Democrats were right, but this wasn't so much about Trump winning as it was about a black woman losing. The unfortunate truth is that if Harris and Walz switched places they probably would have won.
Eh, let's not ignore that the Dems nominated an old man in clear cognitive decline, accompanied at all times by people intended to keep him from wandering off or saying something stupid, Dianne Feinstein-style.
And they failed repeatedly.
This isn't on the Greens, Socialists, or whoever you want to make the scapegoat. It's on Dems.
I wasn't trying to scapegoat any party in particular. At it's most fundamental level this was about racism and misogyny.
I don't think that's accurate.
At it's most fundamental level this is about 100,000,000 voters who can't afford to miss a badly-needed day's pay, something that hasn't been addressed by either ruling party.
Australia has the right idea, mandatory voting on a national holiday.
You're not wrong.
It's no one single thing at the most fundamental level. That is the biggest falsehood anyone will ever convince you of.
Any one of a hundred, a thousand, a million things could have changed and made enough of a difference. That doesn't mean they were the only thing.
And as long as that's the only takeaway from this election, they'll continue ceding victories to the Republicans.
Well, you'd think that a bunch of Harvard and Yale educated lawyers, politicians, political strategists, and legislators could figure out how to put together a winning ballot for "the most important election in history". You don't create history and enact change by losing elections. You win an election, change the hearts and minds of people, and then try to create history. This isn't advanced logic, it's very basic.
And yet, Steve Bannon said exactly this on his War Room podcast yesterday, to Matt Walsh. Sorry to break the ice there, but yeah.
I didn't catch that news, uhg. Thanks.
Idk if it was a slam dunk tbh. The inflation from COVID was unavoidable. The Biden admin did what they could do but way too many folks felt like they weren't being heard for the past four years in that regard. Not to mention the stamina of Trump's campaign. He. Never. Stopped.
I think you'd have to go pretty far back (like nominating literally anyone but Hillary Clinton in 2016) to set up last night as a slam dunk for the Democrats. If anything, they had everything stacked against them.
What the hell is project 2025? Not sure what the downvotes are about, I really don't know what it is...
It is a plan for what to do with power that has a lot of bad stuff in it. Privatize a lot of government stuff, restrict women's rights, restrict queer people's rights, etc.
