Why are y’all so scared of blaming the people in power who failed reaching voters?

why are y’all scared of taking responsibility for allowing a Nazi to gain power when you decided to not vote?

the DNC is out of touch with voters.

that doesn’t absolve the electorate from failing to rally behind a candidate that was the best choice to stop a NAZI REGIME from taking power.

if you didn’t vote, or voted 3rd party, you’re no better than magats.

The blame falls on people in power not delivering for the working class/poor. There is no better ally for the GOP than modern spineless Dems who center their politics around them. Every third party voter could have voted for Harris and she still would have lost.

No, I’m pretty sure it was the people who refused to vote. All 20 million of them failed to identify the obvious threat to our democracy and react accordingly.

Spoken like a true extremist. Now, the sad thing is, I never considered myself a Democrat. I was something of a hybrid between leftist and Democrat. After this election though, I’m neither. Now I’m an anti-extremist, extremist. And I know I’m not the only one.

We all know that’s a lie. 20 million votes to Harris would have swung it greatly in her favor.

But that’s fine. You keep lying, and I’ll keep hating extremists.

I don’t understand the “we were to small to matter” argument I’ve been seeing. If that’s true, why on Earth would you expect to matter enough to move the Democratic platform, or to shape society after leftists “burn it all down” (whatever that means)?

Should the DNC have put forward a candidate that was fairly selected with grass roots support among the wider voting population?

No, it’s the voters who are at fault.

do you think there was enough time?

use your fucking brain.

Americans that purposely withheld votes cause this to happen. point. fucking. blank.

when it actually mattered 20 million Americans abandoned their posts to protect democracy. full stop.

when a house is on fire, do you save the stuff or the people first?

Nevermind, you just want to blame the fire dept from not showing up faster.

I voted for Kamala but I still blame the DNC

the issue is two fold

a) they played games with democracy, further accelerating the erosion of whatever little faith remains in our democracy institutions. there should have been a primary, not the underhanded switcharoo we got to witness where for the first time in US history since primaries were a thing… we had a presidential candidate nominated without a single vote

b) while voters are struggling and going through a period of profound insecurity - not only financially but in a very real social sense - they offer more of the same. neoliberal status quo. people are desperate for change and the DNC offers them nothing.

you blame the voters but you do not want to put an ounce of blame on the party that would rather lose an election than offer meaningful change

and installing a Nazi regime that has, on record, stated they will never let go of control is the best answer y’all could come up with?

how is any of that going to make the struggle BETTER?

will unbridled fascism help calm the masses and stabilize the inequalities of the previous democracy?

will it restore and protect the rights of Americans?

I blame the DNC of being inept! I never fucking said they weren’t!

I can still blame the electorate for allowing a fascist dictatorship to take hold in American government.

Just because you call out a fault doesn’t absolve the other party, both are at fault here. I’m just disappointed that voters ignored all reason and decided to fuck all of us(including themselves), to spite us.

btw, what kind of “meaningful change” can we expect now that sweet potato Hitler is in power?

Uh…

the DNC is out of touch with voters.

What is this, if not shared blame?

Makes me feel better.

I guess we’ve got, what, the next 80 years to blame each other until the Nazis kill us all?

It is the political party’s responsibility to put up a candidate worth voting for. We do not owe political parties mindless allegiance. You’ve got it backwards.

The government is supposed to work for us, not the other way around.

Harris was always a bad candidate and she had a terrible platform.

Anti universal healthcare, pro genocide, pro fracking. She literally got into a pissing contest during the debate against Trump where she was insisting that she was more pro Israel and more pro fracking than Trump.

The DNC has to put up decent candidates. They have to earn our votes. They are not entitled to them.

I did what I had to do, which is vote.

The campaign’s job was to get other people to vote. They failed at their job.

I blame both groups. Both groups are known to be stubborn to the point of short sightedness. Lemmy has a lot of blaming of both at the moment and it’s fair
