      True, but I love how the first we blame for this outcome are the American people.

      I blame Kamala Harris and her botching her campaign. She had amazing momentum at the start, then slowly threw it all away, instead politicking to small businesses and Republicans instead of workers and their own base: Democrats.

        They voted for a con man, a fascist, a criminal, someone who tried to steal the last election. Kamala could be a bowl of day old warm potato salad and voting for him would still be one of the dumbest things imaginable.

          Doesn’t matter.

          Self-interest matters. What politicians will do for voters matters. That day old potato salad may be better than Trump, but it’s not at all inspiring.

          If Democrats really took fascism as a threat, they would have activated Tim Walz and his views and pushed as fast and as hard as they could with the time they had to make the most progressive campaign since Obama’s.

          But they went after the base who would have voted for a fascist anyways.

          This is Democrats’ own doing. Sorry.

    Women: he told you he’s taking your rights away and is already letting you die in hospital waiting rooms

    Tradesman: he told you overtime and unions are gone

    Veterans: he told you he hates you, pissed all over the sanctity of Arlington and is gutting the VA

    Hispanics: he told you you and yours are getting deported and doesn’t care if you’re legal or not

    Those on social security, Medicare, Medicaid or ACA: he told you he’s cutting/gutting these

    Anyone with ties to Palestine: he told you he’s going to help Israel finish the job

    Well the entire multiplatform astroturfing campaign from people who call themselves leftists worked! Democrats stayed home instead of voting.

    Now Palestine will be completely flattened with 0 resistance at all, and redoubled support and bombs for Israel! Way to go! You really showed your support for Palestine by helping this happen!

    They will probably come back saying “it wasn’t our fault, we just pointed out the truth” while they shouted that a vote for Harris was a vote for genocide [so don’t vote for harris] from every platform that they used.

      Most of the leftists I know voted for Kamala.

      And I love how Democrats’ first move after losing is to blame said leftists. We were the only ones calling out the bad moves of Kamala’s campaign from the beginning and warning what might happen if she didn’t adopt a Walz ticket (or mostly a Walz ticket).

      Democrats did this to themselves. It’s the reason why they kept supporting a corpse of a candidate with Joe Biden for so long until the first presidential debate, and it’s also the reason why Hillary was picked over Bernie in 2016 at the DNC.

      Leftists weren’t the issue. Democrats’ own willingness to ignore what was happening right in front of them was the issue.

        What would have happened if you hadn’t done that? What would have happened if the average dumbass center left capitalis liberal had heard nothing but praise for Kamala from the left?

        She would have won. You had a choice. But you decided to tell the truth even when it cost trans people their lives.

        Would you have told the truth to the Gestapo asking if there are Jews in your basement?

      So fucking predictable.

      Remember when Biden stepped down? Do you remember how unpopular he was and the massive wave of hope and support for Kamala that showed itself? Well, what the fuck did you think was gonna happen when Kamala glued herself to Biden, and tried to appeal to center right voters? They refuse to make compromises with the left, try to appeal to the center-right, and then blame the left for not voting for them; classic center/lib playbook, the same thing happens in Portugal, same thing happened in 2016 USA elections.

      I thought that Democrats would win DESPITE the absolute dog shit campaign, given everything about Trump, but it was still an absolute dog shit campaign by people who claimed this was the most important election of people’s lives, but then dug their hills in ideologically and refused to compromise with people on their left.

      If the situation wasn’t so dire, it would be hilarious to see the double think by Dem voters in this thread:

      • “How can Rep voters not hold Trump accountable despite everything he’s done!”

      • “It’s not the Dems fault that they lost, despite trying to appeal to the center-right instead of the left; it’s never their fault! It’s the leftists fault for not voting Dem! Kamala did nothing wrong!”

      I lived in the shithole parts of the country, it made perfect sense.

      Many ‘Americans’ would eat shit if they knew the smell would piss people off.

    “Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.

    That word is “Nazi.” Nobody cares about their motives any more.

    They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?”

    Wait, what? Thats a little bit of a stretch, don’t you think? Under Hitler, 6 million jews and millions of others were imprisoned, starved and slaughtered. I know some Jewish people who are fairly offended by this comparison. I know at first people were largely being hyperbolic, but its become clear that many actually feel this way. He aint Hitler guys, not even close. Thats kinda ridiculous.

    Hitler got his ideas from people in USA because USA has always been a racist slave empire.

    USA has had several Hitlers before and after Hitler. It’s no surprise when there’s another one. Kamalacaust was just Hitler lite.
