The Democrats ran on an uninspiring platform, and then wondered why the voting base was uninspired.

And I didn't realize "listen to your constituents" was the same as "do anything I say and also fuck you."

Throws your tantrum all you want, the Dems didn't get the votes they needed, and it's their lackluster campaigning that lost them the election.

The voters don't owe candidates shit, especially when they're being promised four more years of Biden, but a pinch more progressive.

Gee I wonder who you voted for.

Harris, with Democrats down ballot. My state also went for Harris, but we're not one of the ones that matters.

As a trans woman, I don't have the luxury of voting my conscience and begrudgingly voted Harris despite her lackluster policies and genocide support.

At the same time, I don't blame anyone who couldn't vote for her and chose to abstain or vote third party, because the Democrats didn't win their vote. The Democrats aren't entitled to someone's vote just because the opponent is a fascist, and maybe if they stopped acting like they deserve every election for simply not being a Republican and actually put forth progressive policies, they'd win.
