Political Memes

Keep yelling at those who are so tuned out that they can't care enough to give a fuck about who's running the country. Keep making excuses for the Democrats' decade of mediocre complacency. I'm sure things will change.

ITT Americans trying to justify their apathy at allowing bigotry to rule.

The rest of us across the world are all just aghast at all of you and your lack of duty and never wanting to take personal responsibility.

I’m not going to play the blame game, but I will say that every well-informed but smug jackass who either didn’t vote or voted 3rd party is partially responsible. I hope they feel enough guilt over the next ? years to realize the enormity of their mistake.

The whole "Democrats are to blame" thing just seems like a continuation of the media bullshit that we saw through the entire campaign.

Harris was expected to be perfect, but Trump got a pass from the media because everyone already knew he was a shit show and was numb to it. 70+ million people voted for him, even after seeing exactly what he was like for four years and even after he ran an even nastier campaign than last time.

Am I the only one calling bullshit? Trump voters are to blame for Trump, first and foremost. Could the DNC have done better? Sure, but the armchair generals on Lemmy are making it sound like they have all the answers and if they were in charge at the DNC, surely they would have been able to run a campaign that could have beaten Trump.

Clearly it's not that easy folks, Trump and the current anti-facts movement in the US are a huge problem that does not have an easy solution.

Oh wait, it did... the solution was to unite behind an imperfect candidate like we did in 2020, this time with a younger, better spoken and arguably more exciting candidate.

I voted, but NGL I'm gonna say I supremely doubt his ability to pull off an actual coup for longer than like, a week, maybe. What's the over under on whether or not some Secret Service or CIA agent claps him within 24hr? I'll take the bet so long as "he doesn't even get that far" is a wash.

If your candidate loses, its the voters fault. If my candidate loses, its the candidates fault.

I voted for her. The Democrats are still at fault.

Two things can be true at once.

Everyone who didn't vote, voted third party or for Trump, or encouraged others to do the same, supported fascism coming into power in this country.

Harris failed her country when it needed her, specifically, most; and the Dem leadership in general failed the country grotesquely in the same manner.

It's so fun to blame one single group for a national failure. It's fun, but it just doesn't make any sense.

The sad thing is that we all predicted this blame game would occur. And you can use almost the same words and almost the same reasons and blame a different group, and it sounds about as convincing.

What is important is the next steps. It is obvious that the left will not win unless we are unified. Go volunteer, use these next four years to try to create the Democratic party you want to see. Make them reliant on your help and use that to push the items you are passionate about. Or you can sit on the outside and watch this country fall while complaining that the people who are actually doing something aren't doing enough.
