      Stop blaming the voters and start blaming the democrats for being completely dogshit at selecting popular candidates and running an engaging campaign.

          Keep on acting like that. I’m sure it will do wonders in attracting more voters and winning elections :-). Democrats lost to the couch, not to trump. People are apathetic to their milquetoast neoliberalism.

          Like look. You were up against moronic hitler and you lost. Thats says more about you than the voters.

            Maybe you just need to come to terms with this is what the electorate wanted. I’m sure you can find something wrong with any candidate the Dems put on the ticket but the choices this last election were clear on differences and we saw how that turned out.

        I say we blame both. People that abstained, voted 3rd party, voted for Trump out of spite, etc. deserve their share of the blame for allowing the absolute worst president in history to have a second term. The DNC is to blame for running a campaign and candidates so milquetoast that people felt the desire to protest vote. Both things are true.

        Oof true but Lemmy doesn’t want to hear that. The “Beatings will continue until you vote for Wall Street’s Candidate” crowd hit Lemmy hard during the campaign and they convinced a lot of people that it was the voter’s fault if Democrats lost.
