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
And what did you do to try and keep Trump out of office? Pearl clutch and not vote/vote third party? Yea, that was really fucking effective. At least I can sleep knowing my actions were in direct opposition to fascism, even if they weren't my first choice. You can claim you didn't support genocide while the candidate you indirectly supported doubles down not only on Gaza, but has also brought the fight to the USA.
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.
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.
When some gangsters ask you which arm you want to get cut, you fight them, you don't passively pick one. Coward
And then get killed, which is worse than losing an arm. Where's the fight? You just lost both arms.
False equivalence
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.
No.
I'm not screaming, or happy. Stop misrepresenting the situation to try to feel better about your arguments.
And voting isn't about enthusiasm, it's about evaluating the best choice and then choosing it.
Come and fuck me daddy. Sorry your favorite genocider lost. I hope he forget about Gaza and start internal repression. How does your own medecine taste like, asshole? Pretty bitter, huh?
What the fuck are you even saying? This is the kind of response I would expect from a Trump loving fascist supporter. Incoherent and hateful.
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.
You fucked yourself idiot, you're the one who lost. If all the criminal voters from the "left" weren't so ready to behave like utter scums and vote for a genocider, the left might have won.
Like in germany the first time, fascists happen because the libs start to act like fascist (today by commiting warcrime), not because the left isn't right enough. You did this.
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.
You supported fascism, idiot. Fascism arise because the libs start to look like one, and guess who's sending bombs? Fascists
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.
Did I do that?
