Yes. That is the ultimate conclusion for me as well. The American people voted for racism and sexism, because they are racist and sexist. America can’t do better because this is the best we have. Trump represents conservatives. It’s really confusing because his actions aren’t conservative… but here we are.
The best America can do is fucking awful. It's been this way for years. We elected Bush II twice. We elected Reagan twice. We elected Nixon twice. It's always been a shitty country filled with terrible people.
I'd like to say I'm glad other people are starting to realize something I've known for years, but people are going to get hurt because "patriotic liberals" didn't have the courage to admit we're the shithole country.
I don't think it's that simple, but it's understandable to think like this just the next morning after such a defeat.
This is insane. This was a failure of the Democratic party.
It was a failure of the voter. No campaign Harris could've ran would've won. Biden needed to pick a different veep, that's why this is happening. Had it been a white guy, we'd be fine. Race and sex do matter
Democrats had a mulligan. Instead of finding a candidate that gave them the best chance, they pick the person next in line. Would have been difficult to pick someone else? Yes. Would it have been worth it? I think so.
We cant really test that theory now
But we can hold the decision makers accountable.
Oh believe you me, the voters will be
Obviously, the people who need to be held to account is the Democratic party. I'm sure they'll fuck that up too.
But how exactly are you going to hold the voters accountable?
Im saying thrh voters will be held accountable by their government. Let the wilm of the people bite the people in the ass
