    You voted though, right? For Harris? That’s the only correct answer.

    Non voters + Trump voters + Jill Stein voters brought us into this mess. I haven’t heard anything from Jill Stein, as a leader I hope she’s speaking out too to her base. ~~

      No it was the democrats who put a candidate forward so uninspiring and indifferent on many different issues that people didn’t vote for her.

      People didn’t want come that had no stance against the genocide and was different from biden.

        Multiple people can be at fault. The Democratic party definitely fucked up by not holding a primary, but every single person who had a ballot in front of them and decided that letting Trump win was acceptable fucked up even worse

          I do find Harris and the party worse. They held all the cards and stupidly decided not no give an inch. Madness.

          Just give it up, theyre the same as Republicans who can’t admit they were wrong.

          They’ll act like theyre morally superior while millions more die because of their vastly misplaced arrogance. More Palestians died and will die. More vulnerable people reliant on USAID will die, and rather than admitting you should try to shift left (And I agree the democratic party is center right at best) they just let the worst possible outcome happen.

          Theyre not morally superior, theyre morally bankrupt and mentally deficient.

        No it was people who didn’t want to vote for Kamala Harris. Everyone who doesn’t work at the DNC needs to learn that lesson. Everyone who works at the DNC has a different set of lessons to learn. Like be a socialist and abandon neoliberalism.

        The fact that we had a choice of someone other than Biden was incredible from a political standpoint. It’s laughable more people weren’t jumping at the chance to elect the candidate who wasn’t a lifelong, diehard Zionist.

      I am seriously tired of hearing this shit, what point does that matter now? Are you going to change the election? Move forward, we can’t do anything about how people voted now and it’s just alienating and irritating people.

        People needed to vote for the not fascist candidate in a choice between a not fascist candidate and a fascist candidate.

        It’s not hard. Learn the lesson or die to fascists. People will be too dead to be alienated.

          Okay. Got anything other than time travel as a solution? If not, I need you to get the fuck off the internet, go talk to some neighbors, and do a moral-action to save some neighbors lives.

          Is that moral action a crime? Depends on who you ask, which state you’re in, and how you choose to do it.

          I recommend dragging a full-sized cross in front of an immigrant’s door as ICE tries to raid. On camera. In Los Angeles. With bible verses burned into the wood about “love your neighbor” from KJV. Even if you have to make the cross yourself.

          Maybe you’ll get a good photo op for the movement, maybe you’ll psychologically break a gestapo or four.

          I’m sure you have other ideas.

            If we have another election vote in it. Vote for the Democrat candidates. Fill out the ballot with a pen. No larping fan fiction necessary.

              https://www.aclu.org/news/immigrants-rights/speed-over-fairness-deportation-under-obama

              I’d rather larp on the internet than enable fash to larp at court until they can drop the facade.

              This blood is on Democrats’ hands too, and I’m tired of your Team Sports mentality pretending otherwise.

              if we have another election

              And if we don’t? Or if its such a farce that its Russian-style ballot-stuffing?

              Tell me the plan. Lemme guess… Brunch?

              https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/48128843

              And when these are the people your party will FIGHT to put on the ballot? I’m sorry, even when I do vote, I vote alone. I dont get to bring a group of almost non-voters into the line with me.

              Or your party could try to… Vote Blue No Matter Who in NYC. Back the party candidate. Offer support. Embrace a platform that starts to work.

              No? No real Democratic presidential primary since 2008, and we’re supposed to trust that name? Thanks Kim Jong Un.

              Then again, we wouldn’t be in this mess if Trump’s 6th Amendment Right to a swift trial were respected, so his name could have been taken off the ballots in time for a real election. Thanks Obama appointed judges!

                What does any of this have to do with the Democrats being the correct choice in 2024 and being the correct choice in the next two elections if we have them?

                There are still people advocating for not voting after it is now clear that was the wrong choice.

                (Voted for her too, btw, I’m mad her rhetoric didn’t let me bring friends)

                If that’s not you then you shouldn’t have a problem with this.

                And if we don’t?

                Then voting wont be an option.

                We’ve had real primaries since 2008.

                  The fact is, Democrats refuse to learn from their mistakes. Y’all Liberals refuse to learn anything from your own voters. Ever.

                  The fact is, your party is responsible for making Austerity politics (and mislabeling it as “abundance” with Ezra Klein) bipartisan for more than 30 years.

                  This strategy is how we got Trump. I don’t blame Romney for Trump - I blame Clinton ratcheting to the Right.

                  When Bernie can win States’ popular vote and lose it because of Party-appointed “super delegates” in 2016? That’s not fucking Democracy.

                  When the entire party rallied behind Biden so thoroughly that half the country didn’t even get to vote in the Primary before Biden was the presumptive Nominee in 2020? That’s not Democracy, and Bernie was arguably a Coward for not calling you on it. But… Voting out the fascist was priority. And Biden promised to be a 1-term president.

                  2024 - that 1-term promise? SIKE!!! Until his failing mental condition lagged out so hard that his VP took over, no voting allowed.

                  Fuck you. Sincerely, and deeply. You deserve Trump as much as anyone in his Simp cult. Blue Maga gave us Red Maga.

        “Look, I know that these people voted for you and yours to suffer, but you just need to get over that so that we can come together and be a happy family again. You not getting over that one little tiny bump in our past just alienates everyone that wanted to see your life destroyed. It was a tiny blip from our past. Just get over it already.” ~You…for the most part.

          Yup, and the whole “she wasn’t a squeaky clean and perfect candidate for me so I couldn’t vote for her in good conscience” sounds like such a fucking dumb argument in the face of what we’ve seen the other guy has done/will do.

          And to the user you replied to: yes, it doesn’t do anything to change reality, but points like this should be noted so hopefully people learn. You vote so a piece of shit like Mango Mussolini doesn’t get to power and dismantle the U.S. government.

          P.S. I proudly voted for Kamala Harris
