    So, her failing to be more popular than fascism is the fault of the voting base… Makes sense.

    Tell me again how you fail to clear that bar, and how that’s the voters fault?

      Treating politics as reality show entertainment is fault of the voting base, yes.

      Democracy requires informed voters and Americans have shown to be anything but that.

      Yes. The voters preferring fascism over liberalism is the voters’ fault. If the voters weren’t fascists and fascist apologists, Kamala would have won.

      Today 71 million fascists, 66 million leftists, and 107 million fascism-apologists decided on the POTUS.

      In Nazi Germany, the Jewish survivors had a word for people who didn’t vote against Hitler: Nazis. Drag calls you the same word: Nazi.

        First of all, Drag, I voted for Harris, and actually voted Democrat down ballot. So from this trans veterans lips to your ear canals: Drag can go fuck Dragself for calling me a Nazi for having the audacity to criticize the party I’m forced to vote for that doesn’t represent any of my interests.

        And that right fucking there is why Democrats lose, and Democrats are to blame: they can’t do anything but give us a candidate to vote against, and not one to vote for.

        How many voters do you think they would have pulled running on an actual, progressive platform instead of the status quo bullshit we’re all clearly tired of? Medicare4All, free tuition, free school meals, actually funding social welfare programs, actually enshrining LGBTQ+ and bodily autonomy rights into law, expanding the supreme court to actually reflect the country’s wishes, abolishing the filibuster so progress can potentially start again in the Senate, stopping weapons shipments for the Palestinian genocide (or ffs, even taking a stance on the genocide)?

        The Democrats lost, and fascism won, because the Democrats refuse to listen to their base. Dem voters stayed home because their party leadership failed to inspire them, and I’m sick of the people asking for policies that will actually benefit them instead of some billionaire oligarchs (where’s the blame pointed at the millions they funneled into the elections) being blamed for everything. This isn’t even considering the four years Biden had to show the American people any progress, any discernible improvement in their economic lives, and failed to do so.

        Just like in 2016: the DNC forced a candidate onto the party they didn’t want, refused to listen to any vocal portions of the party while condescendingly telling them that party leaders know best and they need to fall in line, campaigned on uninspiring centrist policies and a return to the status quo, keep preaching about working across the aisle while being slandered and shit on, and then assume the race is in the bag because the other candidate is a fascist reality star.

        And just like in 2016, they lost, and they have no one to blame but themselves.

          If the Democrat party didn’t want Kamala as you claim then who did they want?

            That could’ve been a typo on my part, but in that sense, I meant the constituency of the Democrat Party didn’t want Kamala.

            Biden didn’t drop out until well after the primaries had begun, do the members of the Democrat party weren’t given the chance to choose their candidate. A few names were floated around for a week or so, and then the party establishment basically all got behind Harris.

            So we don’t know who the voters of the Democrat party would have wanted, they were having Biden forced on them until they moved to Harris.

            I’d say the idiot is the career politician who lost to a fascist, convicted felon who gained votes by insulting his base. 🤷‍♀️

            And instead of reflecting on her own shortcomings and those of her political party, we’ll blame and insult those who supported her regardless of her lackluster campaign and policy promises.

            And huh, 98% of Michigan is in, and Harris is behind by about 100,000 votes, roughly the same amount as those who protest voted during the primaries… Good thing we completely wrote off that entire demographic of our party in a key swing state, fucking voters should have known better.
