If democrat politicians weren't so shit it wouldn't be so close in the first place
Vote in primaries, run for office.
You know I've had a DNC member admit to me that they intentionally kill primary campaigns, right?
Well some progressives managed to snook in. We need more.
Lose rigged primaries
So true, the Democrats had a fucking easy ass win all lined up and threw it so hard. 1.6B in campaign funds and they ran on, "We are changing nothing, but at least we aren't republicans."
Everyone below the upper middle class knows the government is not working for the people. People voted for trump because he ran on change. We know he is a liar and using politically uneducated people to push the right wing agenda, but the primary message of his campaign was what people wanted. And he won.
3rd party/non-voters didn't help, but the loss is primarily on the Democrats.
I remember having arguments with these Blue MAGA muppets during the election. I kept trying to explain to them why it was insanity to pretend the economy was fine. But they were morons with a 1984 streak that would make Orwell blush, and thought they could just manifest their way to an election victory. They kept citing CPI data, saying, "but inflation adjusted wages have never been higher!" When you pointed out that inflation purposefully leaves out a lot of the volatility in prices people were reeling from, and how not all income groups experience inflation equally? They didn't want to hear it.
Remember the absolutely insulting, just disgustingly condescending term "vibession?" I do. That term alone probably cost Kamala the election. The only thing that makes people angrier than having to deal with a rotten economy is to have their leaders gaslight them and pretend nothing is wrong.
These morons didn't want to hear it. They have a three monkeys belief system. Just ignore all problems, pretend everything is fine, and just try to bluff your way to victory on election day. You point out the suicidally stupid policies that were killing the Kamala campaign, and they just acted like three year olds saying, "harumf, I guess you want Trump to win!"
This is exactly what people are referring to when they describe liberal arrogance. Criticism is unacceptable. Shut up and tow the line. Vote Blue No Matter Who (unless there's a progressive on the ticket.)
🤡
Anyone who says blue maga is a fucking moron
If you don't realize MAGA can be blue, then you are likely blue MAGA. At the heart of MAGA is a rejection of reality, a willingness to embrace magical thinking over objective facts, and a loyalty to the party leaders at all cost. Trying to manifest their way to an election victory, gaslighting the electorate by claiming the economy was fine, and lying through their teeth about Biden's condition? That is textbook MAGA behavior. Biden's people might as well have been up there claiming he aced an intelligence exam like Trump's people are always doing.
Anyone who can't grok the concept of blue MAGA, or think that the blue team is immune to this intellectual sickness...is a fucking moron.
I realize you want fascism
Found the blue MAGA.
Proud moron I see
we need to be honest with ourselves.
Being angry at republicans for blowing up the government is reasonable.
It's also reasonable to be angry at the democrats, who sat around watching them work towards blowing up the government for fifty years and being like "hurrdurr FAIRNESS!" while doing nothing to stop it.
I think most of us are pretty angry at Democrats as well.
Yup.
I’m just reacting to all the “it’s the voter’s fault”- not you, really.
Like, No. the democrats haven’t done anything to stop this. Even when they literally campaigned on it.
Don’t blame voters.
Good thing the republican ones are so much better, them being in power, right?
You're right. Republicans are awful. Trump is awful. The Republicans handed the election to Democrats on a silver platter, and the DNC still managed to fuck it up.
Sure, all the DNC and not, you know, millions of nonvoters and such who decided it didn't matter.
Sounds like the Democrats absolutely fucked themselves if they made millions of voters decide to sit the election out. They told voters they weren't going to change anything, so those voters saw no point in voting
"Blue Circus wasn't entertaining enough, so letting minorities get murdered is aktshually a completely legitimate choice beyond criticism, shitlib!"
That's how elections work. People see their material conditions degrade and watch the powers that be do nothing, so they vote against those powers or decide that elections are a farce.
"It's okay to let minorities be murdered if Blue Circus was REALLY unentertaining"
Fuck's sake, you don't even both denying it. You have fun with simping for the aestheticization of politics, one of the core components of literal fascism. It goes well with your full-throated support of Nazis taking power.
The election was drastically skewed to the right due to tiktok and youtube propoganda.thats whT created the entire move,ent to stay home to protest Gaza. Proor to 6 months before the election, I didnt heard Jack ahit about Gaza.
If we're ever going to fix our elections, we need to do something about influencer astrofurfing. Influencer need regulation and to be held responsible for the ahit they spew.
You want to hand the president even more power? Are you insane?
I had to re-read their comment because this confused me... They said nothing about the president, or handing them more power? It almost reads like you replied to the wrong comment.
Why does this comment have 5 points atm? Who upvotes this?
Wanting the government to regulate free speech is putting that power directly in the hands of the executive branch. that’s why it’s not done… yet
I cast my vote and played your stupid game. What have you done besides lick blue boot?
what about the former statement makes yours occur?
