time for plan B, love didn't work out :/

yeah, it's only Ukrainians hopping into the meat grinder, after all

that's right, history started in 2022!

lemmy.ml rule 2, be respectful. it's public in the modlog at the bottom of the page, you can even go see for yourself if you want.

disobey, by waiting around with a trump hat in hand, hoping they don't come for you and your family? seems not much like disobeying at all, to me, and in fact seems like quite the opposite.

why are dems trying to appeal to trump supporters?? they will never ever vote for you! that's the entire point! this campaign failed because they tried to appeal to trump voters and ate shit!! holy fuck, maybe they should focus on appealing to their voter base, the people who might actually vote for them. jesus christ lmao democrats are fucking doomed.

both parties experienced depressed voter turnout compared to 2020. trump lost about 5m compared to his 2020 numbers, but the Dems lost about 20m compared to 2020. people are not going to get out and vote for a Diet Republican campaign that ignores their concerns to court a mythical moderate conservative population that both does not exist, and would not vote for them if they did. it's the EXACT same unforced error they made in 2016, and it caused a complete collapse of the democrat voter base.

Go ahead and blame the Democrats

I will. they ran an absolute dogshit campaign with no intention of winning, to appease their donors, which cost them the election. everything that happens under trump is on their hands. for a party supposedly fighting against the rise of fascism, they didn't try very hard at all.

Democrats elect their people through primaries and they rise.

this literally did not happen this year.

man, Hard Times really was right on the money, Dems aren't going to learn a single thing from this. I don't know how to tell you that people are not going to get excited to go vote for Diet Republicans that don't represent their positions. they will simply stay home! that's literally what happened here, and you're sitting here going "errrrmm they're actually just lazy 🤓 don't they know about DRUMPF???"

the system is broken, and continuing to work within it will only lead to more losses. there is no salvaging the democratic party, it is fully co-opted by neoconservatives and billionaire donors who only care about fundraising off of losses. if there is a single lesson you should take from this dogshit election, it's that. they do not care about you, or your rights, or your life. they care about donations. their dedication is to the bag, first and foremost, above everything else.

it's because the dems tacked hard right to appeal to the mythical "moderate conservative" while telling everyone to the left of them to fuck off for months and months on end. people were shouting from the rooftops that this was going to cost them the election, and damn wouldn't you know it, it looks like it did! will they learn from it? probably not!
