    Oh boy, now you’re gonna get all the “no, it’s Democrats’ fault that I didn’t vote!” people desperately trying to assuage the guilt they’re feeling for the idiotic decision that they made in the face of countless people pleading with them not to.

      I voted for Kamala. The blame is 100% on her and the Democrats for losing. Let’s forget policy entirely and look at their strategic choices. They didn’t hold a primary despite 60% of their own voters wanting a different candidate. They hid signs of Biden’s cognitive decline until they were too public to ignore. When it was clear he could not win, they appointed a successor who failed to win a single state in 2020. She then went on to hire the same people who lost to Trump in 2016, and they lost again by running the same strategy of, “court disaffected Republicans,” which failed n 2016.

      It is the job of a political party to get people to vote for their candidate. The party failed to do this through spectacular incompetence. They are the only people who should feel guilty.

      lololol i have zero guilt over 3rd party vote. harris failed to do her job and present a case that would have made her an appealing candidate and therefor lost to fucking trump, who would have lost to a wet sandwich. Thats 100% entirely harris’ fault for the campaign she ran which was built on ‘not trump, not going to do shit for working class, oh and fuck arab americans genocide is a okay’

      Im going to enjoy every minute of this cycle watching tears from a party that has been fucking over americans for my entire life and gaslighting them about it.

        FUCKING SAME. it’s schadenfreude drinking liberal tears at this point. They’re so out of touch it’s laughable how much the country hates them.

      This is a real “whatever you need to say to make yourself feel better”. Somehow everyone is compelled to vote for politicians who are complicit in a genocide, but not to vote for anyone else - by the overwhelming argument of “it’s what a lot of people voted for last time so we have to keep doing it”.

      And it’s not the fault of the people who voted for the fascist that you’re focused on - or your own fault for voting for someone who’s also a fascist, but more subtle about it - no, it’s only the people who didn’t vote for any kind of fascist, who are at fault for the fascist being elected. I’m sure you think this logic is completely sane and not just the entire reason we have bipartisan fascism and support for genocide in the U.S., not to even get into the global empire.
