Donald Trump is arming Israel with bombs today so spending all your energy attacking democrats doesn't make sense.

But apparently spending all you time attacking "tankies" makes perfect sense.

Democrats did the same exact thing. Democrats are just polite fascists. Democrats don’t want a socialist Revolution. They just want imperialism light to keep their private donors happy

Yes it was the "slight corruption" that "tankies" are criticizing Dems for. Give me a break.

Why would you expect media outlets mostly owned by the Oligarchs to criticize the people the oligarchs want to put into power?

That's why people need to read more independent media and the NPR instead.

independent media and the NPR instead.

The population is being dumbed down by our education system and smart devices/ social media. In addition to that, Republicans' media strategy completely dominated with this election cycle. Democrat campaigns were being run like all of them were a bunch of seniors citizens who couldn't navigate the current media environment.

Republicans controlled the narrative on most all of the issues.

Punching down by portraying people you theoretically want on your side as villains is not a winning strategy for anyone left of centre. Dividing people only helps the right, no matter who is doing it. I don't even think ordinary folks who've been conned into believing (Maple) MAGA-esque propaganda should automatically be bashed in every case-- just persons in positions of significant power. The priority should always be to seek opportunities to genuinely win folks over.

Yeah no. You're trying to make a simple question a more complex debate than it ever was. Either you voted for Kamala or you didn't. You can have lofty opinions and idealistic aspirations, but that isn't how the US electoral system works. If you didn't vote for Kamala then you have a part of the responsibility for the current state of affairs.

If the US had a different system of government then you might have a point, but within the system we have you had a choice. If you didn't make the right choice then you're part of the problem. This statement isn't specific to you, it's to everyone who had this choice.

Part of the US system, whether you like it or not, is playing the game. Even Bernie Sanders played the game when he ran for office. The only fools are the people who think they can ignore the game, play stupid games, win stupid prizes, and still act like they aren't part of the problem.
