i can't even guess as to why they went quiet. not one guess at all. we will never know.
edit: well they're not quiet now once they get called out
The Democratic party or a campaign can't fail, they can only be failed, right OP?
They voted for a worse genocide.
In 2 different places no less and possibly more.
They just don't know it yet.
Last I checked Trump lost 3 million voters since last election, and Harris lost 10 million.
The couch won. It's not like people were suddenly won over by a person they've likely seen through 3 election cycles.
You forgot at home, where the marginalized groups are also gonna feel the brunt of turnips policies.
I get you’re mad that Trump won, but you’re blaming the wrong people.
Amazingly, nobody's happy that the dems decided to sacrifice the whole country rather than budge on exterminating the Palestinians.
I mean, Kamala really wanted Republicans in the white house with her. I bet she's elated to see how many will be in there now.
Had nothing to do with it.. or at least insignificantly. The Dems on a platform of "were not him" and the economy is booming.. while people where hurting and got shafted by the wave of devaluation.. people are angry.. and the let's keep going on the same path and change nothing and so nothing party did not get people out to vote.
They should be so happy to have achieved what they voted for. This is their utopia too and they deserve to enjoy the fruits of their single-principle voting as well.
When they see people sick and poor with no support or hope, young girls risking life and limb to bear the children of their rapists, rotting infrastructure and a rampant xenophobic kleptocracy, they need to stand and say "I helped make this happen!"
Be proud of the utopia you helped build by voting for the Russian agent; either one.
If only the 7 million leftists in this country had voted for Harris instead of abstaining. /s
Leftists just pointed out the flaws in Harris' campaign. Dems ran a shit campaign in an attempt to appeal to "fallen Republicans".
You're welcome to blame leftists for Kamala losing the election. But in doing so you are failing to see why Harris really lost the election. Though I'm sure the Dems will do the same. They learn from nothing.
well they’re not quiet now once they get called out
If you call people out, they're gonna respond, lol. (edited this part to not be accidentally included as part of the quote above)
tl;dr is we need more options than Democrats and Republicans, and voting third party should be only part of the solution to educate and mobilize the working class.
I think it is a false narrative that "voting blue no matter who" is the sole thing preventing the USA from succumbing to fascism. The reason government power see-saws between Democrats and Republicans is because it is hard for either party to maintain any legitimacy of being helpful to working class people when the only people both sides are helping are the wealthy. People get fed up with Democrats doing nothing for them and vote Republican. They then get fed up with Republicans doing nothing and vote Democrat.
Are the Democrats current policies better than Republicans in some areas? Sure. But the Democrats have also continued some of the worst Republican policies, and the ones they have better stances on are small and in my opinion offer no long term solutions to help the working class. So one proposed solution is to use our limited power of voting for another party that aligns more with working class needs. That should also only be one part of a larger scheme to educate and mobilize the working class.
