It's almost as though -maybe, just maybe- the people who are registered Republicans like the Republican Party.
For this groundbreaking insight, I'll take my $20k/month consulting fee from the DNC now.
If you didn't vote, or voted third party, because the Democrat candidate wasn't "Left enough" for you, then like it or not you got exactly what you voted for.
You have to vote like we have the system we have, not like we have the system you want.
Stein got 0.6 million votes. Over a hundred million stayed at home. I sincerely doubt that each of those hundred million is a dyed-in-the-wool anti-electoralist, so why focus on the "Not left enough" people? They had no effect on the election one way or another, just like they kept telling you. Your problem is that the majority of people in this country are completely alienated from politics. If you continue to focus on the left to the exclusion of the Democrats' very real shortcomings, if you continue to ignore DNC's failure to offer a winning platform to everyday people, then you are damning us all to an eternity of the current moment.
I just don't get how these cucks don't get that.
It's simple. If you don't vote against the fascist dictator, you get a fascist dictator.
Judging by the responses by many of them on this platform, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say, that's exactly what they wanted.
"I'm miserable and I want everyone else to be miserable too."
Thanks for cucking America, you Russian tools. Don't even bother making excuses. If you're one of the 20 million Americans that abstained from voting this election cycle, trust me, I will eternally blame you for the horrors that you have unleashed upon the world.
How's that "Schumer Strategy" working out for ya?
The DNC knew it would fail. That was the plan. Perhaps not this spectacularly, but they knew it wouldn't work. They did their job. They defended the interests of Capital.
Yes, pass the buck to the DNC. They're the ones that held the gun to your head and forced you not to vote against a fascist dictatorship.
That sarcasm, by the way. I know how thick you people can be, so I thought I'd just point that out.
Yeah, they're just passing the buck to the people responsible for winning votes who made every decision about how to run the campaign that lost.
That's sarcasm, by the way. I know how thick you people can be, so I thought I’d just point that out.
We’re adults here. It’s our choice to vote or not. I really dislike the implication that handholding voters to the ballot box is necessary. Yeah, the DNC f’s up plenty, but at the end of the day people that should have voted, didn’t.
And I really dislike the implication that voters should be expected to change to meet the campaigns that politicians want to run as opposed to politicians changing their campaigns based around what the voters want.
The blame should always go upwards, but instead it's always pointed downward.
Maybe if they got a couple more celebrities to endorse Harris she would have won. Or maybe all the celebrities could have sung Imagine like what they did during COVID.
No, you ignorant fool... they needed more scorned establishment Republican figures to support her. Liz Cheney wasn't powerful enough, that much is clear now. The absolute genius of having our vehemently pro-choice candidate on stage accepting the endorsement of rabidly anti-abortion figures almost payed off. It's the voters who were wrong!
America's far left is just normal shit.
"Hey how about everybody gets food and can see the doctor"
"How about suck my dick and be my slave"
"Whoa whoa you two, let's be civil. Especially you, first guy 😠"
The awful thing is they don't even see what's wrong with what you just described.
Extreme left and extreme right are both pieces of shit in my opinion. I'm not a centrist, but I'm not an extremist either. I just want people to not be put in concentration camps because of who they love or what they said online.
I guess it's just too much to ask for from some people. Well, at least 20 million of them.
Too scared of the spooky communism👻👻
A spectre is haunting the United States 👻
America's left is normal shit, but the far-left is much the same as it is everywhere else, Marxists and Anarchists.
