Russia 🤝 Ukraine 🤝 Femboys 🤝 ඞ: Fuck Chinese Imperialism
Your “ignoring kids on TikTok” is hilarious because it’s so far down the list of the ways in which they routinely fuck up.
It wasn't an important issue in the grand scheme of things, but it probably had a larger impact in driving away kids than most people want to admit. Voters often ignore actually important issues in favor of what they see in their daily life.
Also not sure where you got the idea that I thought Jewish cabals were why Democrats lost. AIPAC strategies to sink Democrats that oppose them are well known and explain their influence in the party, but the Gaza issue alone was only one brick in a very large wall. I'm not sure why you think being condescending is helpful. I'm not even sure if you're coming at this from a bone headed liberal perspective, or a boneheaded ml perspective; I guess they're both the same at the end of the day.
Ugh.
What? Is it so hard to believe that the Democrats dropped the ball? Do you not remember how they said nothing as police attacked student protesters during the free Palestine protests? When they said nothing as a group of random Israeli aligned thugs attacked people doing a peaceful sit in? When it took months for them to even acknowledge that Netanyahu wasn't exactly looking out for hostages? This is all without missing the even bigger issue, "the economy stupid," that they are still in denial about. Just because Trump's actively crashing it doesn't mean it was heading in the right direction before.
I'm not justifying anyone sitting out the election, but I am explaining why some people probably did. It doesn't matter how competent they were in office when they lost to a fascist who told everyone his intentions to be a dictator. They weren't even clear enough about it being the last election to prevent collapse of liberal democracy. They didn't fear monger hard enough quite frankly, and they still don't. It's disappointing beyond words.
Have fun on your knees
Nah, what I'm saying is we need to take over the party and purge the feudalists acting as controlled opposition. That requires recognizing that there is a problem with the shit they feed us, not pretending that it's anything but shit. That requires not doing the same fucking bullshit party elites do of denying that the situation is terrible. That requires not giving up and believing there is no other way than sucking corporate dick.
Fear is how MAGA radicalized their base, and we have nothing but reasons to be afraid right now.
A shame you don't recognize how much of a problem the Democrats are. I voted blue just like I had in every election before then, but I was so angry and scared, because I saw all the mistakes they made that cost us everything. I saw them ignore young people on TikTok and Israel. I saw them shy away from every possible hint of populism. I saw as they denied that the economy was terrible, praying the inflation would even out even though inflation was merely the tip of the iceberg.
Life would be 1000 times better if Harris won, but the fault lies squarely on the ruling class and the party elites. They refused to do what was necessary to unite their base, and as disappointed as we can be in the voters working 9-5s with no hope of ever owning a future, it was the party's responsibility to win them over. Instead they underperformed in all those demographics because they refused to acknowledge problems or propose solutions. A party that has only become worse and will only fight the left.
I don't know about your country, but our "non-fascist" party lost to a cartoon villain, so I wouldn't call them competent. All it would've taken was not treating their voters with disdain and acting like they cared, but apparently that was too difficult.
And before anyone tries to direct blame at the base that got demoralized by shitty leadership, actually consider why you never direct that blame at the people with all power to shape their campaigns; the people who are supposed to "represent" their constituents.
I'm not even interested in checking. Don't be mysterious, what is it?
wtf were they thinking?
bark
I can neither confirm nor deny such a label on myself
We all probably would've been better off for it.
