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.

"A jewish black trans woman would have won Alabama in a landslide, but only if she was a really outspoken socialist" - Half of Lemmy users

I think a lot of left-oriented people are in denial that Trump made no secret of who he was the past eight years, and Americans got exactly what a majority of them legitimately wanted. Trump voters know he is a bigot and that is why they chose him. There is no degree of populist social welfare rhetoric Kamala or the Democrats could have said that would have moved the needle when for most voters, electing a bigot was the priority over all other issues.

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.

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.

The tactic of shaming and blaming voters LOST. I understand where you're coming from but stop doing LOSER shit if you don't want to keep LOSING
