Most the people I know that did vote for them blame them for not being in charge. Yes, it is a clown country.
Dems gross incompetence is the exact reason they can't get enough votes to win what should have been the easiest election of all of our lifetimes
What do you expect from a party that has no power? Honestly Republicans should be more pissed off, they have all 3 branches of government and they're doing symbolic bullshit with 0 chance of success to appeal to Trump specifically, and it'll work because he never watched School House Rock. Not that I'm complaining.
The right found themselves someone who champions their values in as much the same way as the left finds a champion in the Roosevelts.
I think it's pendulum swinging to the right in general as is nature of politics. Hopefully it won't last long and someone doesn't stick a knife to stop the pendulum swinging back. There is still plenty of hope considering that many Americans are still resisting. I don't know who is who in both the Senate and the House, but I'm sure the Democrats will vote down the proposal to allow a third term to a president, and a Republican one at that.
The fact that people actually believe that this is all the democrats are currently doing clearly illustrates exactly why we had so many protest voters.
It seems as if the far left won’t ever be convinced of anything unless it-
A) Agrees with what they already believe
B) Is in an easy-to-read meme format
C) Comes from their communal clipboard of copypasta marxist rhetiric.
I’m incredibly angry that trump won, but not at all surprised. These people make up not just a portion of our voting body, but also a huge portion of our NON-voting body.
The Democratic Party is in a timeloop for thirty years if they believe that courting centrists and right wing voters still work in the age of growing wealth inequality. Actually, forget that, the Democrats still want to court centrists and the right in order to send signal to the true rulers that are oligarchs, that they are just as right wing as the Republicans in order to keep receiving corporate donations and make money from stocks.
What are they doing? Wait I'll do you one better. What else can they do, but re-evaluate what they've been doing?

Can someone explain me what was the tuna melt moment? All I get is literal tuna sandwiches in the Google search
Yeah, if that's the most viral they went in the last 5 years, they're in trouble. I don't remember anything like that happening either.
it was that time Biden walked into a Subway and said "you're telling me a tuna melted this sandwhich?" and everyone laughed
Dear lord. I guess that explains everything about how the Democrats failed to win. They live in a different world.
They were never going to save us. Bernie tried to play by their system...
They were going to save us and a bunch of assholes didn't show up to vote for being saved.
Can't someone make a new party that actually represents working class people and just get rid of Democrats? By many other countries politics, Democrats look more right than left
Democrats have political and financial capital, which tend to be powerful assets in running a successful campaign. Any new party needs to:
- Inform the general population that they exist
- Inform the general population what their platform is
- Persuade the general population that their platform is desirable
- Convince the general population that they're capable of implementing their platform
These are not trivial tasks, made more difficult without a track record or money.
Without a PAC funded by the ultra rich no unapproved canidate will ever make it to the ballot.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
You could also just vote in any mix of dems and indies to get 60 votes needed to pass the H.R. 1 For The People Act and undo the damage caused by the Citizens United decision.
We should do this with the sole intention of throwing a wrench into the process and making the Dems pay attention. With the distinct understanding that we should not allow it to divide the progressive vote under any circumstances.
This is done all the time. Think the Tea Party or the Green Party etc. They're just extensions of existing parties meant to bring attention to certain topics.
The Right never hesitates to use this kind of tactic and we need to grow a spine and do it as well.

Something something enjoy your republican overlords for the rest of time.
Seriously what the fuck is the democratic party doing anymore. It seriously feels like the second Obama left they collectively forgot what the fuck they were doing.
The people running the show since Obama left are the ones that are still pissed he beat Hillary in 08.
Instead of reshaping the DNC, Obama ignored it and Hillary's people have had a hold of it except the brief few months Donna Brazil got in. And since she went public with all the shit they'd been doing, we haven't seen anything else for 8 years.
They know exactly what they're doing won't win elections.
They know exactly what will win elections instead.
But that's not what fills their campaign coffers, so that's not what we'll get from them.
The goals of Dem voters and Dem leadership haven't been aligned for decades.

I spend WAY too much time online and see all the stupid viral videos because of it, and I pay attention to politics a LOT more than the average American does getting their hour of ~~news~~ propaganda from billionaire-owned media each night from the TV and facebook posts from their bubble of "friends".
What fucking viral Tuna Melt moment?
Only 80 year old geriatric with dementia would consider that viral, wait.

Alternative title: "What CNBC is reporting on vs What FOX News is reporting on"
Correction: "vs What FOX News is tweeting about"
We are so fucked.
I’ve posted it before but the way to get “media attention” is to be controversial and a bit shameless
Republicans are great at this. “Ban immigrants”, “all weapons should be permanently legal for everyone”, “ban abortion in all cases”, “ban gays”, these extreme messages are embraced by the party. Algorithms pick up on content that is engaged upon. People engage on this content regardless of their viewpoint. Even if you hate these views you are more likely to click and view out of rage, to comment your disbelief and to say “fuck this stupid bullshit”
Democrats are terrible at this. They abhor the controversial messaging from the left. They embrace weak messaging that sinks like “maybe some mild economic reform”. They embrace weak counter messaging like “gay people are actually valid”, “abortion should be left alone”, “maybe regulate guns a little” and then it gets trampled by right wing commenters and voices.
They need to embrace the right wing formula, frankly. “90% tax bracket for income over 10 million dollars”, “state funded abortion mills”, “ban all guns”, “mandatory lgbt education in public schools”, “death penalty for oligarchs”, etc. stop softening the message because you’re worried about alienating 4% of old white voters. It’s clearly not working
