In a linked article at the bottom, about Dems still hoping to take the house, there’s a brain dead quote:
“We swung the pendulum too far to the left,” Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y.
Is THAT what they are thinking? What in the ever living fuck.
Lmao yes famous things leftists ask for like:
- Stating your difference from Biden would be to have a republican in your cabinet.
- Campaigning with Liz Cheney.
- Enacting the rights border policies.
- Walking back a commitment to ban fracking.
- Walking back support for Medicare 4 All
- Walking back support for the green new deal.
- Supplying and funding the genocide leftists and Arab voters explicitly wanted stopped.
They can’t even blame third party voters this time around because from the current tallies it wouldn’t have made a difference.
They didn’t activate what should be their base enough and instead tried to court neocons and these mythical moderate republicans that would abandon trump in swaths for a righter wing democrat (hint: they will always prefer the actual republican).
If the democratic leadership takes this result as anything but an indictment of their attempt to abandon popular left policies to become the Republicans of 20 years ago they are hopeless. I’m not holding my breath though.
Nah we’re done dude. What voters where told this election was “Its not your party, its our party. We’ll do with it what we will.”
I can’t imagine voting for a Democrat again, should we even get to vote again. Its too risky. They lie about who they are. Its all lip-service. They have no plan. There is no commitment to a broader project.
Why are you pretending like the democratic party didn’t push through the Civil Rights Act, DACA, Marriage Equality, the ADA, Affordable Care, Decriminalization of Marijuana, almost every minimum wage increase, student loan forgiveness, reproductive rights, etc.? If you haven’t benefited from policies of the Democratic party, then you must be living a very charmed life indeed.
Leftists blaming the right for people on the left not voting is some backwards hoop-jumping logic.
Yeah, believe it or not most middle Americans don’t care about Cardi B’s take on economic policy or that Kamala is a big supporter of drag queen story hour. If democrats stopped worrying about asinine social rhetoric and focused on giving the working class a chance at a future without being buried in medical debt for getting a cold then they would have won in a land slide. Nobody in Jasper Indiana gives a shit about some kids being blown to bits in Gaza when they can’t afford to feed their own kid. Nobody in rural Alabama cares about the sanctity of Ukrainian borders and funding that war when they can’t afford their rent payment.
Oh, Kamala is going to be the first woman and black woman at that for president? Who fucking cares when I’m working two jobs to pay off college debt for a STEM degree I was told would give me a comfortable life.
Most people who voted for Trump aren’t racist Nazis, they are broken people who’ve had shit shoveled in their face by politicians, crony capitalism, the media, and celebrities so when George Clooney and Brie Larson call them idiots and tell them to vote for Harris of course they are going to do the opposite.
You have to be a brain dead moron to lose to the wannabe fascist, small dick energy, piece of shit, geriatric, brain mush, pile of dirt that is trump, but somehow Democrats continue to not meet that low low low bar.
I get the feeling of disillusionment. I’ve been feeling that with the democrats for the last decade. But, to your point that most Trump voters are not nazis, they could have simply stayed home and not voted. Plenty of democrat voters did that, so no reason they couldn’t have as well. Anyone with two functional brain cells could see that Trump is not going to make a positive impact on much of anything, especially when his message was almost entirely driven by hate for marginalized groups. His first term was proof enough. You don’t get to vote for a nazi and not call yourself one. These people are complicit in the hell they’ve now helped create.
The democrats have been such shit lately that if a middle of the road republican would have ran I most likely would have voted for them. The problem is that Republicans are spineless morons who let trump walk all over them. I know a lot of people here will act like only Republicans are the ones in big businesses pocket, but news flash pretty much everyone except Bernie sanders is in big business pocket, and democrats made sure that Bernie got thrown out with the trash.
Guess what democrats, if you run old middle America white dudes who understand the working class you will win by unfathomable margins every election. But I guess keep running upper class women from San Francisco and New York City and see where that keeps getting you.
"many Harris allies blaming her loss on Biden and his late decision to exit the race.
“Joe Biden is the singular reason Kamala Harris and Democrats lost tonight,”"
Or, you know, like I said from the start, Biden can’t win and Harris won’t win.
Too much baggage from being AG, and the same plastic insincerity Clinton had.
Waltz could have been top of ticket and won. The sense of being genuine glows off that guy.
Harris could have won, she just needed to throw Biden under the bus like he deserves. Her written platform is honestly fine, I think she could have run a progressive campaign of change, but instead she chose to run on upholding the staus quo. Maybe she wasn’t given the choice by the DNC.
“Joe Biden’s the reason”
Maybe Harris shouldn’t have adopted his platform then.
Worthless cunt will continue to live in comfort
