A neo-Nazi group scattered fliers across lawns and doorsteps in three Waterloo, Iowa, neighborhoods just before Veterans Day. The handouts offered a chilling assessment of the group’s proximity, in capital letters: “We are your neighbors! We are the random stranger holding the door open for you!” it read. “We are everywhere.”

About a week later, about a dozen people marched through a part of Columbus, Ohio, that is known for arts and culture, carrying Nazi flags and using a bullhorn to shout racial slurs against Jews and people of color. A similar scene unfolded in downtown Nashville over the summer.

Making up for their lack of racial tolerance with fatness.

But aren't you glad a message was sent to Democrats that they weren't X amount better than Republicans than they already were?

I never said they were immune from criticism. And that explanation (and faulty mindset) is what got us here. Thank you for confirming.

So when you're downplaying Democratic accomplishments, that is not to give legitimacy for one to have not voted, or to have voted for Trump? Because that advertisement makes me more confident in my vote for Harris, knowing what I know about Trump.

Edited for past tense.

None of this makes them worse than Trump.

apparently stopping fascism ~~by continuing the same mediocre Dem policies~~ isn't enough motivation.

I'll take great Democratic policies that Trump will sadly now take credit for (IRA, chips, infrastructure, to name a few) over Trump any day.

Trump was not more appealing than Harris at any time frame during this election cycle, and I don't understand why people stopped caring, he's the same person or worse compared to his last presidency. But they're gonna care now, let me tell you. My only hope is that they mentally link the hurt Trump is going to bring with their lack of care during this past election, and learn from their mistake.

If anyone couldn't see how Trump would be worse than Harris, that is honestly their fault. And now we are seeing the proof of that. It wasn't a hypothetical, we already experienced Trump once, and we're being proven right about him again. This isn't a failing of the DNC to inform people of this, they screamed it at the top of their lungs. They said it during the debates. I was jazzed to vote Harris and keep that asshole away from office. But to enough people, things like that didn't matter and they voted against their best interests, and now things are going to get substantially worse than if they voted Harris.

If anyone couldn't remember what life was like 4 years ago during the pandemic (and throughout Trump's first presidency), that's on them. I honestly can't care about people's issues with the DNC when we're faced with an entirely worse option like Trump. The time for fighting to reform the DNC is during midterms where grassroots candidates can gain traction without threat of us losing it all. Allowing a much smaller volume of complaints about the DNC to take precedent over the tremendous evil Trump presents is a failing of the voters and is why we need the department of education more than ever. This is our brexit.

Building back our institutions after this is going to be much more difficult than it is tearing them down. If Democrats win the next election, I wonder if they're going to be blamed for not fixing things fast enough after their predecessor... Like, oh I dunno... The economy?

For some, that time is coming. Come nov 2026 midterms all class 2 senators are up for reelection (and then class 3 in 2028). While there are more Republicans up at that point than Democrats, the strategy will be the same, and many of those Republican seats seem pretty safe.
