Everyone of these dumb fucks can just go shut the fuck up. They are one of the main reasons for the Trump victory. All of them knew Trump would be worse, but they were all too fucking stupid to just go with the least bad option. Kamala was not a good candidate, but she was better than Trump in every facet.
https://youtu.be/GcNPymD8wlM?t=51 exactly you
The vote was down to preservation of democracy or end democracy and start FACISM. Murika voted for fascism.
Democracy died a long, long time ago. The options were preservation of our neoliberal corporate order, or fascism. The status quo died in 2016 and Dems are hodling hard until I'm guessing America is a completely hollow husk of its former self. But at least they played fair!
More than half of the US never votes at all.
If voting were mandatory this would never have been the result.
Saying people deserve to be put in camps because they try to stay sane living paycheck to paycheck is kind of a little bitch take on this whole situation
They were too insignificant to listen to. They're too insignificant to blame.
And now insignificant enough to be forgotten
...until you need someone to scapegoat for the party's next loss.
Their rhetoric and decision to not vote for the only viable non Trump candidate is plenty reason to blame. They aren't as bad as people that directly voted for him, but they are the next worst thing and the difference between is borderline indiscernible.
Hillarious coming from a guy who literally voted for a genocider in the name of pragmatism
If democrats can blame them, they were fools to ignore them.
It's true but they still made the choice they made, and that's unforgivable. Fuck em, Trump lovers.
...but you want to blame people whose families were getting genocided for not being happy to vote like you ordered them to.
Your party shat the bed. They knew who they had to appeal to in order to win. But since that's beneath them, they lost.
No, it's not about them doing what we "ordered" them to. It's about them doing what would result in the best outcome for themselves.
You say that to people whose families were just murdered with weapons you provided and intend to continue providing.
You then scream that they're morons for not being as happy as you are about it.
You then wonder why they're not enthusiastic to vote for that to continue.
Dems don't have the emotional intelligence to understand that most Americans don't know which policies will benefit them, most don't know any policies at all.
They have to put money in people's bank account and take money from the rich if they want to communicate a good economy instead of telling everyone we are the best while their quality of life rapidly erodes.
Centrists ignored them on the grounds that they could afford to lose them. You were wrong.
There is nothing centrist about acknowledging the fact that they fucked both themselves and everyone else.
Except blaming people you screamed at for a solid year.
They were and still are idiots. They knew what was at stake and made their decision. They decided to support fascism and Trump and defending that decision is the same the same thing.
I know. And they lost votes because they wouldn't give up support for genocide. Naturally, since no centrist can ever admit when they're wrong, they blame the voters they hate.
Downvoted for intentional misinterpretation of a quote. It's not clever.
Paint it however you want. The people that were rightfully upset about Gaza made the choice to support Trump knowing it would be worse. Their actions directly supported putting him in power and hurting Gaza further. No amount of complaining about how bad Harris maybe would have been matters because the other factor was always known. When someone knows all of the facts and still makes the choice to support Trump, they're a Nazi sympathizer. So I say again, fuck em for supporting fascism.
At least you showed them who's boss. Can you imagine the mere anarchy that would have ensued if democrats had listened?
Gee thanks, next time we'll singlehandedly change the democratic party's platform
It beats the hell out of screaming that anyone who is unhappy with the party is a russian trumpist.
