Because the DNC would rather get Trump elected than listen to their constituency.

That’s right.

Like is 2016, the Dems have to own this. Like 2016, they won’t.

You can’t offer sweet fuck all to most of the electorate and then ask for their vote.

You can’t back a man perceived as infirm, say everything is fine, only to ditch him 6 weeks out.

Can’t send billions to Israel and Ukraine when the price of food & shelter has skyrocketed.

You can’t maintain the system that creates billionaires but increases poverty and expect the masses to show up for you.

The dems lost to convicted felon. That is how shit they are at doing this.

While yes I’m sure it contributed, I think a lot of people voted because their rent and groceries were too expensive, so that means “vote for the party not in power”. It makes zero sense, but I have to hope that they’re just uninformed and desperate and not eager for what Trump and 2025 crew want.

Ultimately though, it’s on them. It was their responsibility to know what they’re voting for, and they failed. Now we can only hope they’re too incompetent to do what they want.

In the US, people are apparently convinced that every week, the president decides on the price of groceries, petrol and rent.

Yeah make sure you never ever ever ever ever ever ever blame voters. It’s always Democrats and never voters responsible. God fuck this world and every moron in it

The fact of the matter is: People need more than sticks to do anything; they need carrots. Nobody, me included, cares if you don’t like how people didn’t fear your preferred stick enough; that’s just how people work. The failure remains squarely on the DNC who, having the perfect stick in Trump, refused to prepare a carrot and opted for a piece of shit hoping to attract some flies from the neighboring mountain-sized pile of shit. Getting angry at voters is like getting angry at the wind for destroying your paper house; I mean okay but maybe don’t build a paper house?

Great mental gymnastics to pretend voters aren’t responsible for their reprehensible actions! I’ll try and adapt that to dodge blame every time I fuck up
