This meme makes me so mad. It completely misses the point that the government is supposed to be working for us. They are here to make our lives better from our collective power. The right to rule is derived from the will of the people. You are misunderstanding how government is supposed to function on an essential level.

Making it out to be the voters fault because we didn't like the shit sandwich that the were serving us is absolutely incorrect. Harris had zero progressive ideas in her platform. She ran on basically the same platform as the GOP.

As soon as you start putting the onus on the voter, you are putting our politicians up as the aristocracy. You make them into our ruling class. This is incorrect. They are supposed to execute the will of the people.

I'm just absolutely shocked that so many people are acting like the voters failed, when the DNC has done this to us so many times lately.

I'm actually getting a bit upset at these idealists. They have this childish notion that democracy works in this tit for tat way where politicians "earn" your vote by instating policies that benefit you and that you believe in. Like grow the fuck up already.

If your candidate loses, its the voters fault. If my candidate loses, its the candidates fault.

It's so fun to blame one single group for a national failure. It's fun, but it just doesn't make any sense.

The sad thing is that we all predicted this blame game would occur. And you can use almost the same words and almost the same reasons and blame a different group, and it sounds about as convincing.

So if after his term ends Trump doesn't remain in power, will you just shoot yourself? Or how do you plan to prevent people from having to listen to your half-assed doomer opinions?

Yeah, he's a fucking idiot and he never should've won. Says a lot about the democratic party that they got beaten by a fucking idiot.

Maybe in the future own your mistakes instead of fearmongering, idk, just a thought.
