The dem message of "we won't do better but the other guy will do worse" failed. It was a bad message and it lost them the election against a terrible candidate. Voters need to be motivated to vote and that message isn't motivating enough

[–] CasualPenguin@reddthat.com 7 points 1 week ago (3 children)

That was never the democrat's message.

What you are describing is the disinformation that you fell for.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Harris's nomination acceptance speech was around 70% right wing positions. Undeniable.

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml -3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It was RINO talking points. That's different than the restructured right. RINOS are now the DEM party. Enjoy Liz Cheney, we were trying to get rid of her for a while. She's your problem now.

Not a Nazi, the Dem party adopted the fascistic playbook of control and censorship and it got them here. Who's the Nazi again?

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You literally described yourself, Nazi. The right censored the fuck out of everyone not toei g their line, both online and in legacy media. Not Dems. The Right. Bezos. Musk. Zaslov. Not us, you. Now fuck off Nazi punk.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ummm, hey outside observer here. I saw a lot of dem leaning media during all this. Their was clearly ether little or ineffectual censorship in the left/right balance in media.

Case in point why would these results be so shocking if the media coverage was all against the Dems?

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It's NOT shocking because the media made it a point to not question or challenge trump while constantly questioning Biden and Harris. When trump became the oldest person to ever run for office they stopped talking about age.The media WANTS trump and always has. They don't gaf about policy; they want clicks and eyeballs.

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

What are you talking about? The media constantly questions and accuses trump. There's been numerous hoaxes about what hes said because they take every single thing out of context.

The recent Liz Cheney one is a great example. He talked about sending her to the front lines, and the media was talking about nothing but dissection and twisting his words to say he wanted to put her in front of a firing squad.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You wanna explain to me how literally half of the country swears that Biden and Kamala are communists and that they are worshipping pedophiles who eat babies in blood rituals?

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Kamala is an authoritarian. Lots of words get thrown around to label her, but that's the base commonality between all those words.

Half the country doesn't believe they worship pedos or eat babies in blood rituals, though peos are certainly a problem in the Dem circles. The other stuff are mostly memes and few people take that seriously.

I refused to vote Kamala because she won't explain what actions she'll take to do the things she talks about. That lack of explanation means she either doesn't know how, or she doesn't want to say how, and whichever it is, it's a bad outcome.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pedos are a GOP/christianity problem. That's why they deflect with so many accusations. We aee that all the time when they're caught. This is why I am 90% confident that you are a pedophile.

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The issue with voters is the lack of supporters who are willing to call out pedos in the party. That's why Diddy's list is a huge deal. It's why Epstein's list is such a big deal. And yup, RINOS are part of that group as well. It's why the trump campaigned of getting them out of the government. They protect each other.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Trump is literally top of those lists. He is a loud and proud pedophile. Your refusal to hear his very words is going to be a major part of future social studies and psychology papers.

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Absolutely so. An Epstein cohort known for walking in on young women changing clothes and who stole children at the border and made them disappear. You are in a fascist bubble.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wrong. The media bragged about how Dems have even won over Liz Cheney and that it was great to have so many right wing endorsements instead of Bernie Sanders and his "ilk".

But you are an avowed Nazi so I'm sure you wouldn't get it. I'm sure you can turn on any legacy media right now and you'd hear nonstop coverage about how old trump is, right?

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Lol. I think you're confusing "avowed" with " accused by conspiracy theorists."

And yeah, I agree, the Dems celebrated having the support of RINO war mongers. Liz Cheney Republicans are not Trump Republicans.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

By "avowed" I mean "avowed", as demonstrated by all of your rhetoric here and your nonstop defense of Nazism.

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Haven't defended any Nazis. People who disagree with you aren't Nazis.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

By the way, if I haven't told you yet: I hope you get EVERY. SINGLE. THING. that you voted for. All of it. Every bit of it. I REALLY want that to happen.

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

Thank you! Me too. :)

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nazis are not a "difference of opinion". MAGA are Nazis. Period. You have zero evidence otherwise. We got this impression from the things that they say and do. We did not make this up.

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're the accuser, and nothing you have is evidence.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Everything I have is evidence...what they say, what they do, what their value system is. Pure Nazism.

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The legacy media is controlled by the Dems. That's why so many quit watpo when Bezos stopped them from endorsing Kamala Harris. An unbiased news source shouldn't be endorsing either candidate, and they all have been, for years now, and it's been the Dem candidate every time.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Absolutely the wrong read. Fuck off, Nazi

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ah, the word that no longer has any meaning. Thanks to you, the universal reaction to accusations of Nazi are now an eye roll, not shock or horror. But keep it up. The more you accuse, the more people realize you're actually the authoritarian hack.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ah yes the classic "those who oppose Nazis are the REAL Nazis"

Fuck off, Nazi punk

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It's the classic "boy who cried wolf" story, actually. You fling around that label to so many people that it doesn't have the bite it had before. You don't oppose Nazism, you oppose anyone who doesn't agree with your very narrow, very extreme views, and you become pro control/censorship to those you oppose, and would be happy with them being arrested for their views. Thus, you become the Nazi yourself.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nazis are pro control/censorship. Trump MAGA have openly advertised that their full agenda is control/censorship and a destruction of freedoms. You have been duped. They ARE nazis. They are proud Nazis. The Naxi Party endorses them. Nazi voters support them. They are Nazis. We saw they were Nazis last time around, and they openly said they were Nazis this time around. That's why I say they're Nazis: because they're Nazis. And the fact that you are one of them and try to pretend you aren't a Nazi is proof that you KNOW that you are evil and unAmerican and that this isnt a "difference of opinion"; you are a psychopath that wants to hurt people. I come from a family of patriots who proudly killed your kind and got parades for it.

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nazis are pro control/censorship

I agree, any authoritarian government is. The Twitter files and Zuckerberg coming out to say that the government requested they censor information that would have benefitted trump is a prime example. I don't see a single policy or line of thinking from the maga part that is pro- censorship.

I haven't seen any proof of actual Nazi support that the maga party works with or accepts. Richard Spencer came out supporting Kamala Harris when he realized maga wanted nothing to do with him and didn't agree with his or the parties ideas or goals.

Some ass tried to join a trump boat parade in Florida with a Nazi flag and parade members drowned his boat out, lol. Maga is anti-nazi in the actual sense, not in the everybody-who-disagrees-with-me-is-a-nazi sense.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Twitter literally censors and bans anyone who objects to MAGA or Nazism. The entire point of Musk's control was to censor opposition and promote apartheid and Nazi-style racism. There is no news item whatsoever that you can present that changes that.

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's not true at all. I follow lots of people on Twitter who object to MAGA. Don't follow any Nazis so I can't say about that.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

It is absolutely true and lots and lots of examples have been exposed since the rebuild. You live in a bubble of fascism.

[–] shadowfax13@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

remind me what was their message on funding genocide, inflation and housing crisis ? sorry we might have missed it among the war criminals, millionaire celeb endorsements shoved at our faces.

[–] MisterScruffy@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I watched multiple speeches given by kamala and I watched the debate. This is the message I came away with and judging by the outcome of the election Im thinking that's the message most people got. Intention is irrelevant perception is what matters and they failed

[–] Uruanna@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Except Harris did mention Trump's age a few times (after the first debate). If you didn't see it, you only looked at the disinformation channels, or it got drowned out by them.

[–] SquatDingloid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Well no dems voted for Trump, and his voters don't care about his age because it's a cult of personality

[–] Uruanna@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Oh totally, attacking Trump's age was never going to do anything, regardless of media hypocrisy; it was still righ to mention it. It's also true that Biden was too old and people wouldn't have voted for him.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So far it looks like that is not true. Just look at some of the swing state exit polls. Or hell that little town of 6 people that always announces first, 2020 all 6 voted Dems and this time it was 3 and 3.

[–] SquatDingloid@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Try actually looking at trends instead of a town of 6 and you won't say this stupid shit

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

? I did. That was just an easy example.
