And the fault for that lies squarely with Democrat politicians.

it's absolutely not politicians, it's the people.

This is like being presented with "would you rather stick a nail in your arm, or in your eye" and then doing nothing, only to have the nail get stuck in your eye by a third party.

The fault lies squarely with people who make assinine claims without any evidence, pretending they hold some deep wisdom when they really don't know shit.

You are the evidence to support my claim, Poopster, in case that wasn't obvious.

What's a politicians job during the campaign?

To convince people that they're worth electing.

If they could understand that you need to appeal to voters to win an election, they'd be very upset.

I love this, you made me smile on a very shit day, so thank you for that.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago

If I don't laugh, I cry. I have to make comedy out of a shit situation or I'll wonder how far I need to jump.

You know there was 14 million less people this time l than last. You don't know if they were Democrats. Literally low information, high opinion person. And we know what happens to them.

(Hell, you don't even know that 14 million didn't show because we don't have the final vote total.)

Trump also has less votes than last time and almost all votes are tallied at this point, there isn't millions left. Voters in general didn't show up as much for this election.

Lowest turnout since 2020. Second highest since 1920.

Exactly. Trump got less votes than he did last election (which he lost).

What definitely didn't happen is people changed their mind. That's impossible!
