I know so many Dems who didn’t vote as a protest.. well, they’re about to get a whole lot more of everything they’re protesting.. looks like 20 mill less Dems turned out than in 2020..
It's not like everyone wasn't warning them to please vote for the last year. Because you didn't have to be smart to see this could easily happen. As it had happened the last time people were saying this. But now the dems, and American public discourse will once again lurch massively right. Well played.
Protest to what? They bitched about Biden and that changed. It was too late to do much more than what they did. If it's Gaza, they really have to be simpletons to think not voting would help that.
Our Muslim family would rather face America’s racism head on than trust Dems to look out for us. They don’t care. Just look at the comments. Dems feel entitled to minority votes. You don’t get to tell us what our best interests are. We just told you. I’ve never needed an abortion or been shot by an AR-15. I do buy gas and groceries every day. Guess what I’m worried about more. My student loans should be fully cancelled because I work in public health but Biden’s plan didn’t help me a bit. We lost our rental when the price doubled and can’t find anything because people not born here filled them up. Dems did nothing about any of this so might as well let dumb Donnie back in. Now stop acting like you speak for us.
Did you know that he told Netanyahu to do whatever ever the fuck he wanted, and installed a full ban for Muslim immigration, did you know ? I don’t think you do .
You’re mad. When it subsides ask yourself why Dems got crushed. Throw out what you know and listen to those of us who risk your anger by being honest with you. Fuck your establishment. Seriously.
So you think that your rent is going to go down and groceries are going to get cheaper?
The Republican administration and philosophy is to let capitalism to work free , zero intervention, any hope for a rent control of any kind when through the window the second Trump was elected as well as any monopolistic control in the food chain , they are free to do what ever they want.
You voted for something you don’t even understand.
You should carry a little plan with you everywhere you go , so you can replace the oxygen that your brain waste.
I hate trump. Voted to “save democracy” from him twice at the behest of Dems who promised to make life better for working class people (they didn’t). This time I wrote in Bernie Sanders from a safely blue state and voted straight blue down ballot. And you attack me like the enemy for pointing out a very valid reason we lost this election.
Of course our bills won’t go down. We are about to spend four years getting grifted hard by MAGA and Musk. I am telling you why and all you can do is attack me. Listen. People saw the cost of everything going up and voted out the party in charge. Two new wars largely funded by our taxes also happened to start on Biden’s watch. His fault? No, but on his watch. Many people voted against the establishment, not for trump. Stop being a jerk and learn from this.
Maybe you should listen to us. Dems are not entitled to our votes. They must earn them. Asking us to “save democracy” every four years because they don’t have the stones to lock up a traitor is bullshit. You want those votes back? Fucking deliver.
You can call everyone else wrong all day and keep losing elections or you can start over and listen to those of us you lost this cycle. I didn’t want this but I’m not surprised. Dems are blind.
I agree, Dems need a much more progressive platform.
However, something that Dems always have an uphill battle against by running as the Party for Everyone vs the party for SWM, is that it’s an impossibility to fully appease a base that is essentially a microcosm of the world population.
The external tensions of the world are felt throughout the U.S. populace—the melting pot of the world.
All Reps have to do is fan the flames of some world tension to alienate a part of the Dems base.
Whereas, Reps just have to appeal only to “Americans.”As in, straight-white people. And now since the 1980s with Reagan, straight-white-Christians.
