Of course it can work that way, we just saw it happen on Tuesday. Look at all the votes the dems lost between elections. All those protests, all the people demanding an end to the genocide in Gaza, all those people asking about cheaper rent and healthcare, those people asking about why there's still kids in cages at the border. Inaction, regardless of the outcome, does not equal support for the victor. But sure, let's homogenize the two major parties and make elections even more of a farce than they already are.
What we saw is the majority of american voters decided they want the right. If the majority did not it would have turned out different. No one makes left turn by not turning the wheel left or trying to turn it right in the hopes of doing a 270.
Very true, the vast majority of america is right leaning, even diehard dems, as the democratic party is easily center-right as it stands. The left, the actual left, sees they don't even have a hand on the wheel, and the moderate dems were alienated by Harris's commitment to genocide. It doesn't even matter, as the corporatocractic oligarchs are unchanged and unthreatened by democrats and republicans alike.
With the first trump win I had not lost all hope but now its like the old saying. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Just like with climate change I will continue to make my choice the better outcome but long term I see what the reality is and I have no real hope outside of hoping for the slide to be as least steep as possible.
I try to look on the bright side, we get to watch an empire collapse in real time through memes and stupid little videos on tik tok.
