So Dems don’t turnout to vote and this is the Republican propaganda machines fault? The day the Dems actually take accountability for their continual fuckups is the day I might vote for them again.

People act where they think their actions will do something. The fact that you intuitively channel your rage at the democrats is a kind of proof that you understand the republicans are beyond hope and infinitely, infinitely more at fault.

This is something the left has to start getting right. Pointing the rage at the right place. It starts here.

I don’t think that tweet is saying it’s the democrat’s fault, but that we have to give more attention to this fact.

I mean Matt McDermott is a democratic strategist himself.

IMO, partial blame on the Democratic Party for not successfully countering rightwing propaganda techniques and for executing some flawed policies; partial blame on citizens who chose not to vote or chose to protest vote against them; and mega huge absolute blame on the Republican Party for promulgating bigotry and lies and on their voters for not critically examining this disinfo, not having the heart to care about their fellow persons, believing that they must adhere to their in-group, and for also repeating the aforementioned disinfo and bigotry.

Each of these is a point of failure and must be remedied if we want to actually have a decent society to live in.

15 million missing voters, that’s not protest votes, that’s a fundamental flaw in the dmc’s tactics. Trying to “reach across the aisle” never works and only drives away normies.

Maybe it’s time to start focusing on reasons to vote for a candidate instead of against one. Trump got less votes than 2020 and won.

Just because the election is called does not mean we are done counting votes.

The largest state (California) only has 50% counted.

Trump will likely surpass his 2020 total.

I have to second this one.

Most of the people I hang with tend towards 3rd party. All of them proudly touted their votes for the democratic candidate in this/the last election, but each was also very clear they were only voting that way as a way to vote against Trump.

They all hate Biden and Harris.

If only they had compromised more and reached across the aisle harder. That will surely fix it next time.

Democrats have the energy of that kid in high school who wanted to sit at the popular kids table and were willing to lose the friends they had in order to get there.

But all they did was look like fools and jettison allies.

It’s obvious that Liz Cheney wasn’t enough. Next time we must revive Henry Kissenger to get his endorsement. Surely that’ll win the moderates

And an AI clone of Ronald Reagan, just to be sure.

This is such a good way to put it.

And they’re both dumb enough to scowl at you for pointing it out.
