Moneo

Why are people on this website so obsessed with defending the democratic party. I don't understand what they are trying to accomplish.

Well good for her for changing her mind. It's easy to laugh at people like her but I think we need to have more compassion for these people. All the spiteful people on this website often make me more mad than these dipshit republicans.

I had a lot of shitty views indoctrinated into me during my upbringing and it's taken me years of self work and reflection to become the leftist I am today. My growth didn't happen because people made fun of me, it happened because a close friend of mine cared about me and wanted me to become a better person.

tl;dr: laughing at republicans solves nothing and just makes you feel good about yourself, which is not a horrible thing in itself but something more leftists need to be aware of imo.

HNNNGGGGGGGG

I appreciate the level headed take.

Because we can’t save Gaza immediately

What do you mean by this? That the president can't or that voters can't because their choice is voting genocide or worse genocide?

The dems have been taught a lesson

Based on the response of the media, and elected democrats, no they haven't lol. They're blaming the left.

but their conscious is clear, somehow

I think this is reductive and does not acknowledge why many people did not vote democrat.

I disagree with your assessment but appreciate your civility, as well as the fact that you acknowledge how obsessed people are with blaming undecided voters.

The stats I've seen show that Gaza was actually a significant issue in some swing states and absolutely could have improved Harris' chance at victory.

not unless Americans are getting killed

Many Americans have family members who are being killed in Gaza. Not to mention the risk of American troops being deployed increases as Israel becomes more and more belligerent.

Many Americans are also horrified at the fact that their tax dollars are being used to commit a genocide.

Nope, we're here. Stop blaming voters and blame the democratic party please and thank you.

The stubbornness of liberals is honestly impressive.

Imagine being this confidently wrong.

I agree with you except for the blaming Trump voters part. I'm not going to pretend I think anyone who voted for Trump was informed or made a good decision, but I have some understanding of how they got to that decision.

Libs blaming voters are almost certainly: young, college educated, and privileged. I too am all those things, but I've tried to expose myself to the experiences of people who are much different than me. In doing so I've learned how their learned experiences inform their politics, and how someone like Harris (and the democratic party in general) did absolutely nothing to appeal to them.

Trump acknowledged their suffering and gave them a scapegoat to blame. Harris did not counter that narrative, she did not acknowledge their suffering, and she did not offer them anything that might improve their lives. All she had to offer was the idea that Trump was a fascist. She was right obviously, but Trump being a fascist is an abstract concept to understand, "immigrants are making your life worse" is very easy to digest.
