When you lose an election this badly, people are clearly not buying you’re selling.

But damn I did not expect so many people to sit out against the guy who did the coup and amongst all the other shit. If there is any light ahead, I think it’s that this L forces the Democratic Party to lean back left with their campaign promises, and whatever power they have left to affect policy.

They are fucking incapable of learning this.

Bernie polled great against Trump but they snubbed him for Hillary and we lost because of it.

The only reason Biden won was because he wasn't Trump and we were tired of him at that point.

Kamala had a chance to swing a little more left but continued to try to court moderate conservatives and the suburbs instead.

They just can't get it through their heads that: Trump and maga are winning as a reaction of "fuck the system". This mostly stems from corporations and the filthy rich not being taxed enough and us not spending enough on social programs. That energy could have been captured and utilized by running a leftist.

But instead we get milquetoast business as usual bullshit

Yeah, that's what everyone thought after 2016 as well.

If they go far left they'll lose all backing and funding, making them completely useless. It's just the way the system is built. I'm Canadian but I see you guys had a choice to pick a bad but fixable administration, and instead just let the fascist through. I mean you can chide the Democrats all you want for the result, but it was the left who sat out and it's those same people who are gonna suffer

Bernie Sanders set records for both 2016 and 2020.

The number of Democratic voters is reported to be around 49 million. (link) As of 9 a.m., Vice President Kamala Harris had 66.5 million votes to Trump's 71.56 million. (link)

Plenty of the left showed up, in 2020 biden got 81,283,501 in the popular vote. That's near 15 million disenchanted voters who didn't return to the polls for this administration. But let's blame the 15 million people, surely they must all be wrong and not the DNC's strategy or anything.

Meeting Arab American voters is not “far left.” Biden actively diverted his campaign stops in Michigan to avoid meeting them and Harris campaign refused to let Palestinian-Americans endorse her on camera at the DNC.

It’s nor far left to meet Palestinian-Americans and Lebanese Americans who lost loved ones in bombings. Biden routinely met with Israeli-Americans in the White House and family members of hostages and posted photos with them on his instagram. Meeting just ONE Arab-American family is something he never did, and saying that would be a far left thing to do is frankly offensive.
