    It can simultaneously be true that the democrats did a god awful job campaigning, and that people are fucking idiots for not voting for them.

      If Kamala would have won the neoliberals would have maintained control of the DNC another four years, would have squashed the primary again, and we’d have been stuck voting for someone we don’t want who won’t fix anything for 8 years…

      Shit is too bad to keep not fixing it.

      It would have been kicking the can down the road another couple years and we’d be in the same scenario again. Meanwhile the wealthy would continue winning and 99% of us would keep losing.

      Maybe it wasn’t bad for you till now, maybe you’d even be fine waiting a decade before we fixed anything…

      But most Americans weren’t

      Getting upset that they didn’t care about you after decades not caring about them makes you look at best uninformed about the entire last 50 years of American political history.

      So…

      How about you stop bitching that the people you wouldn’t help didn’t help you and start working with everyone else that needs help.

      That’s the way to actually get anyone help, if you’re not in board, don’t be surprised when no one wants to listen to you

        So true bestie, glad we voted in a fascist so we don’t have to worry about elections at all anymore. Really stuck it to those pesky libs.

          Maybe you voted for trump, but I held my nose like I always do.

          Crazy you all think everyone explaining why Kamala lost didn’t vote for her.

          Like, I guess it makes sense tho, without the empathy to understand why some people couldn’t or wouldn’t hold their nose, you also can’t understand how anyone else can empathize with them.

          To someone like that, it would make sense why they’d assume anyone explaining this didn’t vote D.

          It’s sad, but thanks to empathy I can understand why you’re saying the things you’re saying, and why you can’t understand anything that’s happening

            Ooo, someone learned a new vocab word.

            I hope your empathy feels great when the fascist boot presses against your neck. I have zero empathy for the confidently incorrect.

      They didn’t do a bad job campaigning, they told us exactly who they are, barely left of trump Republicans

        Remind me how many times Biden violated the constitution?

        Don’t get me wrong champ, shit needed to change, but you do see how the situation now is a lot fuckin worse? Right?
