GOP voters were never going to vote anything other than Trump. Abstainers (and, for the record, FUCK them for not caring about literal fascism) largely saw no point in turning out for the Dems for a lack of inspiring message.
Democrats moved to the right to try to get Republican votes. It failed. They will learn nothing and do it again.
Voters didn’t turn out for Dems because of people like yourself constantly shitting on Dems with FUD
Bruh, I was full-throated in my support of the Dems because I understood the importance of maintaining enthusiasm for turnout. You can check my comment history if you like. Arguing against people shitting on the Dems when the alternative was literal fascism made up a great deal of my activity these past few months.
But the election's over now. We can bitch now without worrying about depressing turnout amongst those with the memories of goldfish who only remember the last comment they read. It's safe, at least until the next election cycle revs up again. And, in fact, if we do not bitch now, we risk not knowing how to correct our mistakes next time.
So you shit on dems for years until right before the election and expect voters to forget about all that shitting you’ve done at the last second…
It doesn’t work like that.
Fuck's sake.
Some people expect unconditional worship of Democrats at all times. You only expected it for like a year. Enjoy being called a trumper for it like you called anyone who dared say boo to Bidenyahu.
