You voted though, right? For Harris? That’s the only correct answer.

Non voters + Trump voters + Jill Stein voters brought us into this mess. I haven’t heard anything from Jill Stein, as a leader I hope she’s speaking out too to her base. ~~

No it was the democrats who put a candidate forward so uninspiring and indifferent on many different issues that people didn't vote for her.

People didn't want come that had no stance against the genocide and was different from biden.

No it was people who didn't want to vote for Kamala Harris. Everyone who doesn't work at the DNC needs to learn that lesson. Everyone who works at the DNC has a different set of lessons to learn. Like be a socialist and abandon neoliberalism.

The fact that we had a choice of someone other than Biden was incredible from a political standpoint. It's laughable more people weren't jumping at the chance to elect the candidate who wasn't a lifelong, diehard Zionist.

Multiple people can be at fault. The Democratic party definitely fucked up by not holding a primary, but every single person who had a ballot in front of them and decided that letting Trump win was acceptable fucked up even worse

And the worst part?

They probably sleep sounder than you.

We need to be thinking about how 77 million Americans voted for Trump and thought that was a good idea.

And we need to work out how to prevent it from happening again.

One thing is clear, billionaires and politicians are unwilling to relinquish power or wealth, even when their holdings are obscene or they are incapable of governing.

We will have to threaten either their lives or the structures on which their holdings depend, and can't bluff. And they will likely choose death over surrender.

BUT WAIT, THERE IS MORE!

Had a discussion with my wife's parents the other day. They thought it was hilarious. They laughed, alternating between mockery of the poor and "nobody helped me so everybody should suffer!"

She said maybe it's time to go no-contact.

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 72 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Going no contact is a lot easier than it sounds: the biggest issue is "them" not respecting your new boundaries.
My biggest piece of advice is to never respond to them. The 'keeping silent and ghosting' part can be a challenge.
Ultimately, though, you owe them nothing but your happiness.

Didn’t vote for it isn’t good enough. 90M people didn’t vote. We needed 2M more to vote against it. Remember this when the midterms come around next fall.

[–] misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

If 2M more voted Democrat, Musk would have donated a bit more to make up the gap. I think we're flying past actual Democracy pretty soon. We'd need 20 million more before skewing the vote is prohibitive.

We also need a political party that also understands this. The entrenched democratic advisers lost 2 times to Trump and I havent seen any mass firing. If anything, the establishment dems are attacking anyone trying to change.

I’m definitely taking a dump on that bitch Virginia Fox’s grave when she dies and you know it’ll be soon cuz she’s an elderly, geriatric, expiring, old bitch.

Fun fact: everyone who didn't vote for Hitler made it through the war with a 100% clean conscience, and did not regret any other inactions. /s

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 38 points 2 days ago (12 children)

Reminder that Hitler lost the election. The liberals endorsed a conservative candidate in the name of unity, who won, and proceeded to staff the government with Nazis and made Hitler chancellor, in the name of unity.

The left, cursed with Casandra Syndrome, campaigned on "A vote for Hindenburg is a vote for Hitler is a vote for war."

Because there is nothing new under the sun, you even had the liberals who announced their endorsement of Hindenburg immediately start attacking the left for not supporting their best shot at defeating Hitler..

In the end, many of them did end up supporting Hindenburg. But liberals will always see the left as a greater threat than fascists.

these manufacturing guilt posts would work if we were not seeing dnc sabotage mamadani to favour predatory stooges just like trump. the “blue no matter what” is only for trash candidates that superpacs want. everytime we get close to a leader that we want like bernie or aoc or mamdani, dnc shows they work for the trumps not against them.

i am not a violent person so pls suggest how we can help get aoc elected in 2029 without doing a luigi on likes of pelosi and schumer ?

It’s fucking depressing though. I voted for Harris, went to college, worked in IT and was a good little worker, got a decent credit score, barely got a starter home…

By all accounts I did everything right. But I’m still fucked. Going to be laid off this year and this IT industry is fucked. We all are. We can’t do anything because the wealthy always win. I’m depressed most days and only find joy in reading sometimes but other hobbies don’t feel the same.

Every time I’ve voted, my candidate of choice loses. I’m powerless. I’m not well.

I have a relative who has been on medicaid on and off who "doesn't pay attention to politics". I frequently explain current events to them- like efforts to cut medicaid that may cause them to lose their coverage.

The obliviousness (or complacency, in many cases) of some people is unbelievable.

[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 45 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (11 children)

By not voting you did vote.

First past the post system and all of that.
