I blame both groups. Both groups are known to be stubborn to the point of short sightedness. Lemmy has a lot of blaming of both at the moment and it’s fair
why are y'all scared of taking responsibility for allowing a Nazi to gain power when you decided to not vote?
the DNC is out of touch with voters.
that doesn't absolve the electorate from failing to rally behind a candidate that was the best choice to stop a NAZI REGIME from taking power.
if you didn't vote, or voted 3rd party, you're no better than magats.
Should the DNC have put forward a candidate that was fairly selected with grass roots support among the wider voting population?
No, it's the voters who are at fault.

The blame falls on people in power not delivering for the working class/poor. There is no better ally for the GOP than modern spineless Dems who center their politics around them. Every third party voter could have voted for Harris and she still would have lost.

No, I'm pretty sure it was the people who refused to vote. All 20 million of them failed to identify the obvious threat to our democracy and react accordingly.

Spoken like a true extremist. Now, the sad thing is, I never considered myself a Democrat. I was something of a hybrid between leftist and Democrat. After this election though, I'm neither. Now I'm an anti-extremist, extremist. And I know I'm not the only one.

We all know that's a lie. 20 million votes to Harris would have swung it greatly in her favor.
But that's fine. You keep lying, and I'll keep hating extremists.

IMO some of that blame game is more right wing trolling to further undermine the Democratic Party.
Don’t stop kicking them when they’re down. Keep kicking.
I'll keep kicking them because fuck extremists of any kind.
Yeah fuck all extremists, "I want all people to have healthcare and housing" vs "I want to eradicate non-white people" are the same
Yeah, fuck extremists that are willing to gamble the future of 125 to 200 million Americans because they "want to win".
The road to fascism is paved with the best of intentions.
There was no way for these sham elections to be a 'win' for anyone but fascists and corporations. I am just impressed so many people believe that leftists actually had enough sway to tank Kamala's campaign.
How do you know Kamala's winning would even be better for vulnerable people? Roe v Wade was nullified under the administration she was a key part of. On trans rights she said she would 'follow the law'. We would have the most 'lethal military' and a stronger border. They have sent billions in defiance of international law to support groups committing genocide.
And how many people voted for Kamala in her primary to earn the nomination? To protect democracy from Trump apparently we had to forego democracy.

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?

It may cost a lot of lives, but at least you got your moral high ground. Must be nice having the mental age of a 5yo and be content.

Yes you should have voted for Kamala and yes it's the Democrats at fault. Both are true.
If you voted it's the Democrats fault. If you didn't vote it's your fault.
And the DNCs fault.
