I was gonna title this "And here I sit so patiently waiting to find out what price you have to pay to get out of going through all these things twice" and then write "Stuck inside of America with the fascism blues again" here, but I'm not sure if that comes off like gloating and that's honestly the last thing I want to do this morning.

Only on liberal echo chambers was Kamala too centrist. This is just perpetuation of delusion.

Manchin would have won in a landslide, along with a dozen other candidates who were closer to center.

Every interest group in the Democratic party after a loss: "See? It's because [Candidate] didn't agree with ME enough!"

Maybe if they did your idea the loss would have been worse.

The number prove what they were saying is correct.

There are no numbers that say being less moderate would have won the election for Harris.

Hey! Don’t forget that it also alienated anyone who is even moderately humanist!

Democrats will have two years to build their reputation as Vocally (but ineffectually) opposing Donald Trump.

But I think the bigger question is whether they actually do that. I can see a lot of Dems turning coat after this and just going along with Trump like they went along with Bush in 2001.

Remember when everyone hated Cheney? Not sure why the Democrats thought they would help them win an election.

I think their intention was to appeal to older Republicans who remember the bush years with rose tinted glasses and don't approve or the pivot that the GOP has done post-Obama.

Evidently they don't make up a significant amount of red voters when compared to the frothing fascists who would eagerly re-elect a rapist.

Democrats keep extending the olive branch out of naïvety only to have it used to smack them across their stupid fucking faces.

I mean the over-65s (turned 40 before bush was elected) leaned heavily to Harris. It was the Hitler youth that was a shocker.

I was like uhh ok? And?

I figure that's probably one of the better reactions because in hindsight who the fuck cares what that warpig thinks or who it endorses?

I went to check Reddit for the first time in a while. It is interesting to see the difference in reaction on Lemmy and Reddit. At least Lemmy is admitting that running a Republican campaign with Lez Cheney might not have been the best idea.

There is absolutely zero self reflection on Reddit. All blame lies on "racist imigrants".

On Reddit Democrats had the perfect economic plan. Forget Kamala failing to secure the Unions. No teamsters endorsement. Forget the railroad strike shutdown. Forget massive inflation. The genocide is never even mentioned on Reddit. Kamala was 100% perfect in every single way.

No mention of the massive increase of young white voters for Trump either

Democrats will lose again in 2028. They vehemently refuse to learn from any of this. Instead of doing anything progressive they will say everyone is a racist and move right.
