The democrats objectively were wrong.
They lost the election.
That’s the only measure of right or wrong that actually matters.
They literally had only one job and they fucked it up again.

"Democrats are not doing enough to encourage people to vote for Democrats." is a warning, not a threat.
People who make and post memes like this seem to think that the people complaining about conservative Democrats and pointing out problems in the party are not voting for Democrats. I think they largely wrong about that. We are voting for all Democrats all the time, but warning you that your messaging sucks and you are not going to get the turnout you need. It is not our fault we were correct.
The whole genocide joe Gaza bullshit proves this wrong. There were plenty of ‘protest’ votes this round. But their protest issues were stupid because trump had worse direction on all of them but for whatever reason that was ignored and everyone focused on Harris and Biden. As if trump wasn’t just waiting to glass the whole place and turn it into a resort or golf course already.

Wrong! ANY criticism of the party means you’re a secret maga Russian plant. The democrats are perfect and don’t need to improve in any way!

I voted for Kamala. My parents and grandparents did as well. I do not feel that the democrats were/are doing jack shit to court new voters. The party itself expects to just be the status quo and have people vote for it. Whether people want to admit it or not, the point of being a progressive party is to be... how do I put this... PROGRESSIVE.
The democrats are a liberal party which is why they got almost 49% of the vote instead of under 1%.

Elections are a popularity contest with weird rules more than anything....
But the DNC kept trying to force uncharismatic candidates with conservative policy down voters throats, and stole funds from state parties to focus on that costing us down ballot races making losing have even more consequences.
They haven't just been putting all our eggs in one basket.
They put it in the basket of a 20 year old shitty child's bike and then put Biden on and pushed him into the interstate.
Voter can't fail a party, but Dems have been failing their voters for decades.
I'm optimistic Martin will change that, enough to give him a fair shot and not just a month.
Dems have absolutely been failing to be an effective political party, but good lord I'd rather have the milquetoast incompetency on democratic control of the government than this abaolute shitshow that Republicans have been running for the last... God it's only been a month and a half since the inauguration.
Milquetoast incompetence makes them lose elections.
Them losing elections allows republicans to have a shit show.
Then the Dems get a modicum of power and do milquetoast incompetence again, and the cycle repeats.
It’s been this way my entire life.

Or, you know, be the party that at least promises popular things, instead of the party that just exists in idle opposition.
At least we'll never have to worry about Dems after 2026. Maybe some better parties can take hold

Parties are essentially dictatorships, and at the top of my list of things wrong with our system
The good part of that, is the party can change even faster than trump can destroy America.
Partie’s will always exist. They are a natural progression of people aligning their values. You can call them different names but a ‘group of politically aligned people’ will always form.
Parties can be dictatorships, but should be a reflection of the ideal governance of the system they're trying to run. In the US certainly nearly all parties are oligarchical dictatorships, since that's just what the US has been from the start.
Ideally we'd have a coequal party spring up or at least a co-op party. But I fear both of those are too complicated for American brains since even PSL has a fairly strict hierarchy based on funding potential instead of merit or internal democracy.
Parties can be dictatorships, but should be a reflection of the ideal governance of the system they’re trying to run
They 100% should be. And we just took huge steps towards that
But I don't think you're understanding. This isn't an analogy, the Party Chair has absolute power, and zero accountability.
That's what all that noise with Donna Brazile was about. She was a high ranking person at the DNC who took an interim chair. She was expecting everything to be fine because that's what the prior chair had kept saying...
Then she disclosed that the party had been bankrupt for years, and was being funded by Hillary since before the primary started which came with many strings, one of which was that Clinton's campaign had final say on anything they DNC said.
I really think the people who don't think the party has changed much, just aren't truly aware of how bad shit has been at the DNC the last 30 years. Most don't even know why it didn't improve under Obama's presidency

Even the existence of the phrase "vote blue no matter who" is a dead giveaway as to why the Democrats failed... Again.
You cannot run entirely on simply not being the other party. That is not enough to entice voters on the fence. You might think it is and those people on the fence are too stupid so they should just "vote blue no matter who", but clearly that hasn't been fucking work for the Democrats.
That is not enough to entice voters on the fence.
It’s your hellscape, fence-sitters. Idiots. If only you could have done something, any one goddamn thing to have avoided this gutting of democracy, this looting of generations of social capital, demonizing of progressive causes and the establishment of a russian vassal state.
But I understand the candidate was not exciting enough to get off the fence.
You coulda been somebody, Charlie, you coulda been a contender.

Trump begging to be king should have been enough. The fact that it wasn’t shows it’s not just ‘what the democrats do’ it’s that people are fucking stupid and hateful. Hell the VP doesn’t even know where this country came from. These people are not American. They’re traitors to the red coats and don’t even know what that means.

You ignore one simple fact.
The GOP always votes Red, no matter who.
It takes two sides to have a reasonable discussion, but only one side to start a war.
It's a war and you've been invaded.
The fascist party always votes for fascists without thought? Who woulda guessed.
Guess we gotta be fascists and vote without thought to beat them! Why has no one just tried to out fascist fascists before, it's so simple and you're so smart for coming up with that strategy.
