I think its important to ask the people saying that to name specific examples of HOW they were too left leaning. People just want to hurt someone now because they are hurt - it doesn't matter if they are punching left or right, if they perceive something as landing, it makes them feel better.
I am seeing Liberals online blaming minorities for not showing up when the reality is, across the board Dem voters didn't show up.
The most I've seen anyone able to manifest is that she wasn't an old white man, and instead, she was too radical, because she was black, indian, and a woman. I have seen milquetoast liberals saying this, black people saying this, indians saying this, and women saying this. I don't really know how true it is, and I guess I never will know because she really didn't run a good enough campaign for me to actually run any sort of postmortem analysis relative to someone else's real turnout, because she wasn't even a baseline democrat, she ran below the baseline in terms of promises. She campaigned with dick "killed a million people" cheney and his wife. I dunno. somehow I don't believe that it's because democrat voters are just super racist or sexist or whatever.
Thats why Im blaming all the dem voters who didnt show for not showing
Stop blaming the voters. It's the same shit every damn time. The DNC failed America. After Clinton they should've learned, but they just do the same shit every time.
They double down every time they roll Clinton out like we care. What we need is a party that's fighting for us, not one that expects votes because the other guy sucks.
We all should be pissed at the lack of leadership that has enabled this outcome. Pointing fingers at each other solves zero issues. What'll happen is 3 years go by and Democrats roll out another neocon establishment pick and we'll just go oh well it's too late to fix anything. Things need to change now before the next cycle starts. We have a lot of work to do.
Exactly. Blaming others before recognizing your own shortcomings is a shitty strategy and it will only serve to alienate people who could otherwise be your champion if you didn’t attack them.
When I do I get nonsense about hope and change and how leftists didn't show up when they should have to prevent fascism.
