There’s a perverse bunch here on lemmy that are blaming the Democrat Party for their failure to vote. They justify it by essentially saying that because they weren’t catered to (being further left than centrist platform Harris ran) that it’s the democrat’s fault we got trump. That’s some republican-level victim shit. “We did the opposite of what we should and things didn’t get better!”
No, motherfucker, you sat this one out in a battleground state so we got a fascist and that’s better than Harris? WTF kind of logic is that?
They get to blame everyone and pretend to be smarter than other people because their third choice candidate can't be wrong. This way they can blame the DNC for themselves not caring about all the groups trump will adversely effect and they can then also blame republicans when they eventually do it, all from the top of their high horse.
Those groups were suffering under democrats, currently. Why do you think even minorities and immigrants voted for him.
The democrats wouldnt even acknowledge peoples suffering, much less admit they had a hand in it.
Why dont you repeat the lines about how america is great under biden, all sunshine and roses.
They'll suffer more under trump
Maybe maybe not.
Theres no reason anyone could justify thinking "maybe not." I'm glad you'll be alright tho. It's good to know that you're sufficiently insulated from any of that.
Every. Single. Election. People. Blame. Voters. And. Nothing. Changes. Maybe it's the lame ass corporate candidates that need to change. I voted Kamala, but it was fucking obvious as shit she didn't stand a chance.
The vote is the only thing we have control over.
You think allowing a dictator to take the reins is gonna get you what you want? Really? Explain to everyone how sitting this one out, an election that may cement Republican power and place Democrats as a token but useless party fore the remainder of the foreseeable future, will fix what you see as wrong with the Democratic party?
Any other election I might have agreed with you.
But not this one.
Own it.
I didn't say that, I voted. I've just heard this same argument so many times through the years and it's not working.
Sounds to me like she would of won with a more leftist policy. Sounds to me like the campaign failed to do the thing that would of won them the election.
Like, I voted harris as a harm reduction vote, but I cannot be mad at people for refusing to vote for the party who abandoned them and everything they stand for on the hope that they (the voter) would back them regardless of running on pro Israel, pro border wall, half ass abortion and status quo when status quo is the thing everyone fucking hates right now.
They went in with a bad gameplan and it didn't pan out. Blame the fucking party for doing nothing.
