A politicians job during a campaign is to convince people they are worth electing.
Which is why American politicians stay in the American Overton window. Which is on the right side of the political spectrum. The way we made progress is by voting for the party that was the furthest to the left.
She became Biden 2.0 as her campaign went on,
DNC consultants, including Hillary Clinton, took over Harris’ campaign after the DNC and ran it into the ground. That’s not permission to give fascists a free pass. We are not Democrats. We don’t live or die based on what Democrat politicians do. We find a way to make their campaign work because everyone’s lives depend on it. There’s too much at stake to just throw up our hands and say both sides. Democracy is not we the Democrats, it’s We the People.
Anyway, let’s see, oh yeah: 94% of registered Republicans voted for Republicans in 2024, the exact same amount as 2020.
Yes, Republicans demonstrating they understand how democracy works as they dismantle it.
No one was duped, you sound weird and strange talking the way you do. It’s off-putting and makes me want to actively work against Democracy, because you’re doing exactly what I’ve been describing: dismissing everything I have to say while condescendingly speaking to me like I’m some misguided child.
This is you. Duped. Sounding weird and strange. Actively working against democracy because you didn’t get what you wanted. It is an incredibly childlike temper tantrum.
The options were Biden or Harris or fascism. Through our collective failure we have chosen fascism. As adults, it’s our job to take responsibility for what We the People had control over, which was our votes. Now if we fail to organize we will likely end up in death camps.
You’ve given up your agency the second you had someone to blame your misfortune on. I recommend you reconsider. There is again to much at stake to continue blame a party that is now going to prison. If we fail, we will again have no one to blame but ourselves.
There is again to much at stake to continue blame a party that is now going to prison.
And they have no one to blame but themselves.
I like how you refuse to listen and double down on this “Democracy too important, must vote blue no matter who” nonsense that, spoiler alert, clearly wasn’t enough to drive Americans to the polls.
That’s a failure on the Democrats, not the voters, and you’re the childish one trying to blame the passengers of a car wreck instead of the ones who were driving.
I’m sorry speaking rationally and placing the blame where it belongs, at the feet of those who campaigned, sounds strange and delusional.
Tell me, how many people have you convinced to keep supporting Harris/the Dems with this weird, hippie, grand wisened elder schtick you’re trying to make sound so thought provoking.
The options were Biden or Harris or fascism.
I didn’t realize that in those options, Harris had to mirror every unpopular policy decision made by Biden over the last four years. She chose to.
The DNC chose to run unpopular policies, chose to not listen to their voters who wanted their concerns heard and responded to (not dismissed), they chose to keep Biden in the primaries well past his ability to govern/campaign effectively.
They chose all of this, these were their decisions. Decisions that convinced 14 million Democrats that voted in 2020 to stay home because they don’t feel represented.
But no no, you’re right, Democracy was too important for the Democrats to alter their message, or campaign on different policies, no no, you’re absolutely fucking right, that is ABSOLUTELY FUCKING UNTHINKABLE TO EXPECT OF A POLITICAL CANDIDATE.
No, you’re fucking right, the more I think about it, why do we even fucking vote, the Democrats know better than me anyway, a person living as an actual average American, hurting miserably under the current system.
You’re right, you’re a million billion percent right, guess I’ll go turn myself in because I cost the Democrats the election by criticizing them. We can’t expect change of our politicians, you’re right, ludicrous idea.
I’ll go check myself into a mental institution, that seems fitting since I seem to have this crazy thought that fucking adults can change their opinions to better align with those they’re supposed to represent.
You’re right, from now on, I’ll just vote blue, and I’ll threaten anyone who criticizes them in any way to make sure they understand that this isn’t a joke, the Democrats don’t have to fucking do anything, it’s all on us voters, and I don’t want to cause fascism again!! No no, I, the fucking average American who doesn’t have a national platform or millions of campaign contributions to use to spread my message, myself and every other worthless plebian who forgot their place at the feet of the Democratic elite, should have known better.
You are a fucking joke, dude, let me know when the Democrats decide they actually want to represent the will of the American people.
