I'm still waiting for whatever the hell is supposed to happen after electoral politics has failed us, because it has.

I was told by people pushing for people to not bother voting in 2024 that voting was meaningless and that Trump would be no different than Harris. People told me that the solidarity of grassroots organization was the only way to see any real change, and that we had to reject the DNC at all costs. Well, we rejected it. What now?

PS: I don't even mean this sarcastically or to win internet points -- that are even more meaningless than on reddit -- on this site. I'm actually asking, what are we doing now that this happened?

Their job is literally to get elected...

This is definitely a liberal take. I don't agree with those who didn't vote for Kamala, but removing responsibility from people running her campaign when there are obvious glaring issues such as retracting all populist messaging and appealing to non-existent right wingers voting against Trump was a real stinker to say the least. It's okay to blame politicians who didn't win for not winning.

Non-contributing rage bait. The Democrats were wrong. The Democrats still are wrong. And the Democratic presidential candidate was infinitely better than her opposition.

Nuance motherfucker do you speak it.

Yeah that is the level of self awareness that created this bullshit. Fuck the Democrats. To be clear I voted for Harris but t Still think the Democrats suck

Imagine posting this meme when just today the DNC have announced their “new” leadership and it’s just the same as the old leadership, and they’ve done absolutely nothing to push back against Trump this whole time.

Just like they would have done nothing when Trumpists did a violent coup if the voting results were different.

Liberals only differ from fascists in degree, not the kind of ideology they follow.

What do you mean? Didn't you see their tiny signs last night? That'll sure show him!

Fascism cannot stand against the power of color coordination. (And friendship. Have we tried using the power of friendship?)

I think they were even instructed to be "quiet". And they all just fucking fell in line.

"But maybe next DNC chair you'll get a progressive! Vote for us and we'll give you what you want next time."

I voted for those assholes up and down. They still suck.

[–] randon31415@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

What done is done. Democratic voters PUT TRUMP BACK IN OFFICE to send a message. If the party leaders don't get the message, then 4 years of Trump were all for not.

I voted for Kamala. My parents and grandparents did as well. I do not feel that the democrats were/are doing jack shit to court new voters. The party itself expects to just be the status quo and have people vote for it. Whether people want to admit it or not, the point of being a progressive party is to be... how do I put this... PROGRESSIVE.
