Maybe, just maybe, the Democrats will someday realize that political parties are supposed to stand for something other than “what are you gonna do, vote Republican?”
If people didn’t vote for you, it’s because you didn’t appeal to them. Don’t blame the voters for not liking the shitty options presented. Actually represent the people, not the donors and consultants, and you might get some traction.
Good to see this take without 100 down votes.
Dems offered zero leadership, just an anti-Trump.
Dems need an actual leader.
This is lemmy and you better blame the voters that were empathetic to Palestinians undergoing genocide or else. >:(
You can't honestly think Palestine would have been worse off under Harris. Trump has put zero pressure on Israel and has plans to turn the Gaza strip into a resort for the ultra rich
the beatings will continue until morale for the neoliberals improves.
Everything I said was true.

Is this what you non-voted for? Marching the rest of the Palestinians into the desert and building a golden theme park on what remains of their graves?
Infrastructure, student loan forgiveness, improving economy, sane leadership that doesn’t result in almost daily headlines about the next worst thing happening, environmental stewardship through green energy initiatives, opposition to the Palestinian genocide…
None of that was enough? Had to go full MAGA, huh?
Ah yes, I definitely went full MAGA.
No, I voted for her, just like I always vote for the Dems. But I also understand why she lost, and the Democratic party’s tendency to blame the voters rather than self-reflect is exactly why we’re in the situation we are.
If that was her platform she would have won the election
Not everyone who doesn't like Kamala is Maga.
After this being the status quo for the last 50 years, I'm starting to think the Democrats are an opposition party.
who did you vote for?
Kamala, begrudgingly. Just like how I voted for Biden and Clinton. I live in a swing state, so I felt like voting tactically mattered.
Exactly. No one I know wanted to vote for an ex cop, but it better than a current felon, pedophile, rapist, demented septuagenarian
