Because you now did it to yourself.
So, her failing to be more popular than fascism is the fault of the voting baseā¦ Makes sense.
Tell me again how you fail to clear that bar, and how thatās the voters fault?

Yes. The voters preferring fascism over liberalism is the votersā fault. If the voters werenāt fascists and fascist apologists, Kamala would have won.
Today 71 million fascists, 66 million leftists, and 107 million fascism-apologists decided on the POTUS.
In Nazi Germany, the Jewish survivors had a word for people who didnāt vote against Hitler: Nazis.
Drag, calling @BlitzoTheOisSilent@lemmy.world a āNaziā like this isnāt justified and isnāt the level of civility we expect in this community. Absent other factors like bigotry and disinformation, I try to maintain uncivil comments so thereās an understandable continuity in the comments and so people arenāt afraid to fully express themselves on the sorts of controversial issues discussed. Itās more than understandable to be angry at anyone who enabled this impending disaster to happen. Whatās not is that Blitzo (the āOā is silent) thoroughly debunked every misconception Drag had about them, and then Drag never apologized, especially after realizing theyāre likely going through a similar level of trauma over the election that Drag is.
First of all, Drag, I voted for Harris, and actually voted Democrat down ballot. So from this trans veterans lips to your ear canals: Drag can go fuck Dragself for calling me a Nazi for having the audacity to criticize the party Iām forced to vote for that doesnāt represent any of my interests.
And that right fucking there is why Democrats lose, and Democrats are to blame: they canāt do anything but give us a candidate to vote against, and not one to vote for.
How many voters do you think they would have pulled running on an actual, progressive platform instead of the status quo bullshit weāre all clearly tired of? Medicare4All, free tuition, free school meals, actually funding social welfare programs, actually enshrining LGBTQ+ and bodily autonomy rights into law, expanding the supreme court to actually reflect the countryās wishes, abolishing the filibuster so progress can potentially start again in the Senate, stopping weapons shipments for the Palestinian genocide (or ffs, even taking a stance on the genocide)?
The Democrats lost, and fascism won, because the Democrats refuse to listen to their base. Dem voters stayed home because their party leadership failed to inspire them, and Iām sick of the people asking for policies that will actually benefit them instead of some billionaire oligarchs (whereās the blame pointed at the millions they funneled into the elections) being blamed for everything. This isnāt even considering the four years Biden had to show the American people any progress, any discernible improvement in their economic lives, and failed to do so.
Just like in 2016: the DNC forced a candidate onto the party they didnāt want, refused to listen to any vocal portions of the party while condescendingly telling them that party leaders know best and they need to fall in line, campaigned on uninspiring centrist policies and a return to the status quo, keep preaching about working across the aisle while being slandered and shit on, and then assume the race is in the bag because the other candidate is a fascist reality star.
And just like in 2016, they lost, and they have no one to blame but themselves.
