      I voted for Harris, but she did a fuck of a lot trying to convince me not to.

      “I arrested people for smoking pot” “I’m an ex cop” “No, I’m not going to do much about the genocide.” “Here’s Liz Cheney” “Trans rights aren’t important.”

      It’s not really a fucking mystery why she lost.

        It genuinely is. It’s unimaginable to me that people could be so stupid.

          I literally posted a list of reasons why people didn’t vote for Harris.

          Running on “I’m not Trump” while also campaigning on a moderate Republican platform, is why she lost. If the election was so important, why didn’t she run on electable, popular policies?

          It’s the DNCs own fault for failing to put out a candidate or campaign that could beat donald trump, world renowned loser and hitler wannabe.

            Uh huh. Which of those were “she wants to be a dictator”? Because that’s what she was literally running against. And that’s what people didn’t fight hard enough against.

                  As if you really care about what position the US is in. You just want to win elections and dont give a shit what happens after. This post is about a guy snatched up off the street and sent to a foreign gulag, yet you haven’t uttered a single statement in support of this guy and instead derailed the entire discussion toward your team-sport politics and how upset you are that your team wasn’t the winning team, how it’s everyone else’s fault the team didn’t win, how people are stupid for not supporting your team, etc. That’s all you care about.

        why aren’t you holding to task the actual elected representatives from the DNC

        Why do you assume they aren’t? It is possible to voice dissatisfaction to the DNC for their failings and also voice dissatisfaction to non-voters for theirs. I don’t know where this idea comes from that a person can only do one political thing ever. It is very possible to do multiple things.

          Because they’re bending over backward to “white knight” for the Dems and shield them from any criticism here in the comments. They’re no different than the MAGA sycophants.

            Are they? It certainly looks a lot more like they’re just refusing to white knight the people who were bending over backwards to boycott the Dems in the face of actual fascism. That’s not sycophancy, that’s fighting against the “leftists” who poison praxis with vain ideology. A noble contribution to the leftist cause.

              You were voting for fascism with either one of these candidates. The Dems lost because they’re just watered down MAGA at this point, which appeals to no one. They ran yet another shit campaign with a shitty candidate and got Trump elected again, almost as if that was their intent all along, but maybe it’s because Harris didn’t parade around with the Cheneys enough.

              You can’t even make a defense for the Dems here other than “they’re not Republicans,” so maybe you should point that anger toward the very people running the party and making the decisions that make them less appealing than an elderly reality TV host and not at the people who are sick of their shit.

        How’s your vote working out for you?

        Not great - a bunch of morons either didn’t vote or voted for an authoritarian.
