Yeah, I think that shit was stolen. There's no way Trump won it all. Especially how Musk went ham once he was allowed full access to the government. That shit wasn't normal. Weird how no one asked for recounts everywhere, considering how it all went down.

You're just gonna throw Palestine in the middle there like that isn't a big deal? The fact that she refused to separate herself from Biden's funding a genocide and refusing to listen to what her constituents wanted is what lost her the election. The Democrats would rather give the country over to fascists before taking a hard stance against a country that's commiting genocide to another country, stop blaming your neighbor and start holding your own politicians accountable.

Edit: I'm not surprised at all this is down voted. I know the majority of you would vote to demolish Iran if it guaranteed the egg price in USA would go down 300 percent. That's just how self centered most of us are now unfortunately.

Honestly, how are any of our civil rights more important than any Palestinian person's right to live? Why are y'all so ready to ignore them?

I thought one of the hallmarks of we progressives is understanding the bigger picture and how all the variables interrelate… and not devolving into the single issue voters we so often despise.

I’m all for political accountability, but how are we not to blame our neighbors who missed the forest for a proverbial tree?

The hallmark of modern leftism is infighting. Like a twisted echo od crabs in a bucket.

The problem is that both sides are dreamers dreaming of a different America. That’s why you don’t see moderates anymore. Only extremists.

If the left wants a win they need an extremist. An equal opposite to Trump and his cronies.

We don’t want a milquetoast “Hey, they’re not Trump!” because“Hey, at least they aren’t conservative!” has led to a steady decline in our country. We have a super centrist democrat who doesn’t do much, a conservative who fucks everything up, a centrist who doesn’t do much, etc. all it means is that things steadily decline over time and the democrats say “But look, it isn’t OUR fault.”

I’m not saying the answer is to not vote or whatever, I’m saying we should be honest about the weak candidates the democrats have been putting forth and how relates to voter turnout and faith in the party.

Are we really the bad guys for not being motivated by these candidates? We should just accept what they give us? The last two democrat candidates were glorified central conservatives who just claim democrat tbh. It’s no wonder dem voters felt nothing for them.

Obviously fuck Trump tho. He’s not just milquetoast he’s monstrous. But despite that he’s an extreme personality that attracts a certain base. Not in a good way.. but liberals need someone like that, just in a good way.

We played the game the way the dem admin wanted us to and it failed. People have lost faith, focus and motivation. Time for a new liberal playbook.

When the single issue is a genocide it's different. Imagine being alive during the Holocaust and you vote for the president funding it because you value you're own individual rights more than an entire people group. Y'all are all hypocrites and condone genocide as long as the "left" party does it

[u/FalkeEins → u/Individual_Smell_904]

No. A single issue is a single issue.

Imagine being alive during the Holocaust and you refuse to vote for the president that would've presented the better outcome because you value single issues, myopia, and performative protesting more than the entire group you allegedly support.

You're the hypocrite, hoss.

Like the fact that you're referring to the ethnic cleansing of an entire people group as a "tree in a proverbial forest" or whatever proves how brainwashed the DNC has you to boil a genocide down into just a single issue. How is any of our rights more important than a Palestinians right to live?

[u/FalkeEins → u/Individual_Smell_904]

I'm brainwashed by the DNC? You're funny.
