Doesn't change what I said, though. Trump won because the average voter wants fascism.
Unless you are willing to criticize the Democrats they will not change this losing strategy. Admit they ran an awful campaign and push them to run on good policies next time.
I am willing to criticize the Democrats. There's a lot I would have done differently.
But Jesus himself could descend from heaven preaching love for mankind and the American people would still vote for Trump instead.
The average American voter wants fascism, it's as simple as that.
Comparing Kamala Harris to Jesus while she is facilitating a genocide... Really shows how much of a cult the Democratic party has become.
That's a misreading of analogy.
Let me put it this way. I am a leftist. I believe strongly in fielding more left-leaning candidates. However, I accept I am the political minority. A leftist administration could be the exact thing needed to fix everything that is wrong with the United States, but they would never win an election because the support just isn't there.
Americans don't want leftists, fascism is an easier sell.
Bernie was winning in 2016.... Until the Democratic party turned against him in the primaries.
The American people want a progressive. The DNC would rather have Trump.
He was winning in 2020 too and everybody panicked and GAVE their fucking delegates to Biden lmao. All that for the most milquetoast social democrat, imagine if it was a real socialist.
Bernie lost the primary. I am in a solidly blue state and Clinton won it by a large margin. If he couldn't even get enough progressive votes to win the primary, he'd never have won in the general.
This isn't correct political reasoning. Primary voters ARE NOT general voters. As an aside, the primary is just a fiction the major parties use to give their candidates legitmacy. The outcome of a primary doesn't matter what-so-ever and the candidate could get zero votes from people like me or you and still legally be on the ballot. For example, Harris.
Bernie lost the primary because the DNC conspired against him https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/07/23/487179496/leaked-democratic-party-emails-show-members-tried-to-undercut-sanders
The leaked emails are not the smoking gun you think it is. Plenty of people in the GOP "conspired" against Trump too, but now he's on his way to the White House. Twice.
The voters in 2016 knew what Bernie was about. That's why I and many others voted for him. But it doesn't change the fact that he didn't win.
One could argue that, with the electoral college as rigged as it is, the states that would be written off in the general election shouldn't be considered, but he lost to Clinton in most swing states, too.
No wonder the US is so fucked if half the voters are deluded like this and the other half might as well be living in a third reich film
motherfucker you voted for fascism as well
