Maybe y’all should have gotten out there and voted Harris instead of being babies, you and us allies wouldn’t be dealing with an orange turd. Keep blaming the democrats , Putin loves it, and it distracts from trump. You wanted Dems to oppose this? Should have given them power. But as an outsider this American election looked like the voters telling democrats to eat shit, then demanding they save you. And yes I’ve heard all the “it’s their fault for not courting my vote” yeah well they’re gonna take 4 years off and stay rich so who did you really punish? Yourselves
You're misunderstand the frustration. We've been seeing Republicans bending the rules and stacking the deck for decades and have been shouting at the top of our lungs that they're not playing fair. The Democrats didn't just fail in 2024, they've been fucking up since Reagan, and all of us that have been warning this was happening feel like we were betrayed. From where I'm sitting it feels like the Democrats don't really have any ideals past getting elected. The correct response to Trump 1.0 was throwing the criminal in jail and issuing hundreds of executive orders (a la Trump's throw out so much shit they can never clean the mess doctrine) to cripple voter suppression and ensuring another quasi dictator didn't end up in office.
We needed radical leadership and we got the status quo, and frankly if speaks volumes about how disconnected liberal leadership is from their base.
