Dems lost due to their inability to rally the voters. 8 million stayed home because dems doubled down on their typical bullshit to protect their own status quo rather than fight for the working class. Failure to recognize this brought us here and until we can call it what it is were gonna stay here.
Who is this we? Because you seem to get it. Most of Lemmy does. So the issue isn't we. Unless one is willing to primary their local democratic leader, there is little we can do other than rally others to vote and vote blue.
However, most of what I see on Lemmy are people rallying against democratic leaders. It's doom and gloom. No real solutions.
So we Lemmy users have our own issues to recognize and reconcile. Pointing the blame outward is one of them. Anyone pointing out this issue of ours tends to get downvote so we Lemmy users aren't ready to be part of the solution with no signs of that changing anytime soon
I understood the dem line on things, yet i voted to not make things significantly worse.
If only non-voters understood what they allowed.
Clearly that wasn't enough. So perhaps people should not be discouraged to beat the Democratic party into shape so that hopefully next time around they do more instead of less than enough. Because if the Democrats change nothing and win by default next time due to the Republican clown car running off the cliff, we're gonna be playing the same game again in the next-next election. And the ratchet clicks to the right a few more notches.
They will understand too late, as usual.
The irony of people that have been letting the Democrats get away with complacency for decades being all "you'll find out..."
They're an ineffective out of touch party because you keep letting them get away with "vote blue no matter who" as their only cohesive strategy.
If you joined the left in pushing back on the Democrat ratchtet effect many elections ago, we wouldn't be here. The second best time is now.
Keep voting blue no matter who. In 8 years when they parade the Trump family around in front of you as allies against the current Republican you'll be chastising us for not supporting Trump's party. It happened with Bush and Cheney.
What an amazing thing to say to someone else. No arguments at all honestly. Maybe tell it to Greg Proops, he still likes Biden.
Perhaps I misinterpreted your comment in this thread, I'm addressing the people that keep picking on voters that couldn't stomach voting for genocide or more of the same from the Democratic party. Liberals are making bigger enemies of leftists than they are of conservatives.
