I'm not sure the incessant chorus of 'I told you so's is really helping the cause.
Personally, I'm watching the dumpster fire from up on your hat, without any option to participate in your elections either way, but it's still getting pretty grating. Surely, there's a better strategy.
I've heard so much MSNBC bigotry in the last month.
"Palestinians cost us the election!"
"Trans people cost us the election!"
"Hispanics cost us the election!"
"Everyone under 40 cost us the election!"
This is typically followed by some sickeningly smug "I hope they enjoy what they get" from the most vile and repulsive insider slime the party has to offer. And now Dem Leadership is just throwing up its hands, insisting Trump's just a dictator now and there's nothing any of them can do.
Hell, the fucking CIA - the agency that exists to topple foreign governments - seems equally indolent and feckless. So, idk. Maybe saying "I told you so" isn't impacting the cause one way or another.
Wow I'm glad I don't watch MSNBC, that does sound truly sickening.
Yes, because hopefully if we point out how much not voting has hurt us and everyone else, these dimwits will actually choose the lesser evil next time instead of letting the greater evil win
Oh yes, calling people dimwits will totally win them over.
We absolutely will not. Take that into account and stop thinking it's a bluff you can call.
Better to let the greater evil win, eh? If some Palestinians are bound to die, better that American transes die too?
*I have literally seen people on Lemmy share this sentiment

You need to update your rhetoric. The Democrats have already started talking about how they lost because of their support for trans rights and plan to move away from that. Your line in 2028 is, "If Palestinians and trans people are bound to die, we might as well let the Republicans win and go after bi people too, eh?" But maybe you should start practicing for 2032 and say, "Oh, so if Palestinians, trans people, and bi people are bound to die, we should let the Republicans win and go after lesbians too?"
Or, instead of walking down the list of "then they came for's," we could draw a red line and say that if they keep walking down that path, we will make it impossible for them to win. And if enough people do, then they will either have to give in or be replaced.
Edit: You posted two removed comments that nobody upvoted lol. Reminds me of that Bloomberg ad about random Twitter users saying mean things lol.
