Then Dems should have done a better job of motivating their base to get out and vote. Should they have just voted regardless? Probably. But if they see no hope for relief, then I can’t blame them. Voter apathy is the candidates fault. Not the voter. - ThreadSky

Many of us think Kamala Harris did win and that Musk fixed the election.

Base came out to vote though. The missing demo was White Men aged 35-65ish that voted for Biden in 2020.

Those WM? They aren't motivated by M4A or Gaza.

PS, FD Signifier is a Leftist. This is analysis from THE LEFT.

And this is why the ROW has little sympathy. Democracy has to be fought for. We this argument again & again. "Hillary was a weak candidate" "Kamala wasn't tough enough" Both were intelligent, fair-minded leaders with morals ðics,fighting against one of the most morally bankrupt ppl on the planet.

I didn’t say either of those things. I voted for both of them.

I said, Kamala spent too much time pandering to moderate conservatives. That has nothing to do with not being tough enough. It has everything to do with why Dems didn’t get out and vote. They were disenfranchised.

Then voters need to do better. This is where letting the imperfect be the enemy of the good leads us in a two party system. And you now have huge challenges just to be ABLE to vote, so your future & ours) looks pretty grim. All because Kamala didn't tick all the boxes-whereas Trump ticks none.

So yes, I blame the voters.

Now THAT is shortsighted. “Just vote because they aren’t republican" isn’t going to get people out to vote and if that’s the Dems new platform from now on, we’re fucked.

womaninterrupted.bsky.social•71 days ago

You look pretty fucked from where I'm sitting.

fishfps.bsky.social•71 days ago

You’re right. Because people like you think “I’m not Trump “ should be good enough. Who cares about policy and progress on social issues, right?

We literally just watched that fail for Harris. When will Dems learn? Telling people to just vote, doesn’t work. Clearly.

Your position might hold water in another system. Until that changes, you will always end up with the worst of all worlds and it's already becoming almost impossible to change. Good luck.
