The whole Democratic Party, and many of the 75 million who, like me, voted for Kamala Harris, need to read a book on "misplaced anger." The amount of misplaced anger I am seeing on social media—people blaming the election on everything but the people actually responsible for its outcome—is stunning.
Comments
1. Am I grieving over the election and America's fate—and have I named my grief "grief" yet?
2. Am I in either the Denial or Anger stage of grieving?
3. Is that causing misplaced anger?
That has to stop.
Everyone who opposes the fascism of Donald Trump is on my side.
Democrats lose because we are disunited.
I question the wisdom and vision of anyone spending this extremely dark moment in American history trying to convince any liberal or progressive to turn on any other liberal or progressive. That's shameful right now.
That happened for most of my life til 2020.
DNC had the chance to use the Beshear playbook and didn’t.
We had FOUR years to figure this out and took for granted that people were tired of MAGA.
This is on us.
IF the numbers in this article are correct, then it's worth looking into. A handcount wouldn't be weird.

Was it when the dog whistles became about eating dogs?

Fetterman posting about how excited he is to confirm Marco Rubio. Democrats in America are going to be paid for the next two years to just sit in a room and say "no I don't like that"
Now the Gazan deaths under 47 will be on THEIR HANDS.

They have a better network of message outlets, and they stay on message.

If The Democratic Party were to skip the current infighting, what would be the purpose of such unity?
Simply blaming the voters for not seeing the light comes across as hubris.
If that’s the path Democrats take, they are Doomed!
Stepford Republicans & self loathing Democrats?
I am watching civil rights stuff and they say anger isn’t the answer. It’s human but not the answer.
Fool me once ...
You mean Biden/Harris supplying genocide right now and for the last 13 months is Trump's fault?
C'mon. Blame him when he gets in and does bad stuff, but right now we have a DNC admin.
YOURE WELCOME GANG 🙌🏼
The American People saw the injustice and Trump's popularity grew.
🔺You've now been fooled TWICE by a CONVICTED FELON.
Think about that.
🔺When you can't breathe, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.
🔺Ask the people of New Delhi INDIA.
I also blame the 6M who voted for Joe in 2020, and apparently sat home this round.
-Haitians are eating pets
-boys go to school and come back home girls
-prices will go back to 2019 levels.
If yes to any - fvxk them and block.
I'm a little angry at the phenomenon you're talking about. mostly because holy hell a whole ton of democrats were quick to...
I wrote alot of the policy adapted for Chase's campaign.
I'm not a Libertarian anymore and ....
My criticism of Kamala was that her campaign fucked up in ways that exhibit a symptom that they picked up in the Obama era - hubris.
She had decent policy proposals to be honest. Or at least in line with Democrats goals.
But she never stepped outside the role of Veep...

When a Cult Leader projects?
Believe them.
Believe them.
That said. I am a Democrat and like the policies but they need a think tank that understands politics strategies and tactics.
Also, to comfort those of us, who are not comfortable with the election result, we have this: https://jonbell.medium.com/trumpism-will-die-in-100-days-4df9700f4006

after four filthy years of Trump…
after four great years of Biden…
after Harris’s great campaign…
after his doddering campaign…
after all the decent people
in the nation warned them…
after all the decent people
in the world did the same…
they voted for him anyway.

Is that misplaced?
1. Non-voters
2. Trump voters
That’s it.
Just learned what Bullet Ballot means. Why did Dems let the deadline 11/19 to investigate pass?
No concept that trickle down and assault on middle class is the cause.
IMO.
That’s where my anger is focused.
Absolutely embarrassing to see Joe Scarborough and Mika acting like groveling apologists this week out of sheer desperation…
I am sooo sooo very tired of all the people who are trying to analyze and tell me “what we as Democrats did wrong “. It’s not what we did wrong, it’s should be about what else we can do.
You can say what you want about the corporate Democrats but … the alternative that we’re going to have and all those folks that stayed Home, thinking that there was no difference. Jokes on you. And all of us…
Bobo & MTG outwitted you.
Perhaps dems need a smarter think tank?
I look forward to reminding them that:
"THIS IS WHAT YOU VOTED FOR."
in the coming years.
Add that to 40+ years of Hate Media… State Owned TV (Fox), MAGA cable stations, podcasts, radio shows, Christian stations, social media platforms, entertainment (NASCAR, WWE)…

158 million 18 and over didn't even vote.
How many you suppose are on social media spouting off about one candidate or the other that didn't even vote?
Trump and Musk have enough money to last them for the rest of their lives, but they have malignant narcissism which needs feeding, and it's insatiable
Musk now has the power of a president
Trump has ensured he won't be held accountable for his crimes and he's about to go after his critics
putin playbook
C'est La Block.....
Now, who in your opinion *IS* responsible? Extra points for nuance and multiple concurring answers. ;)
start - and end - with the 75M or whatever who voted for trumpov: post-J6, post-felony convictions, post-classified doc-stealing charges, and more.
literally everyone else is either an ally or a potential ally in the fight ahead
Voters😡

Biden has the power of a king, according to the Supreme Court, he can decide whatever he wants and nobody can say anything. Let the insurrectionists defend themselves from jail.
2. Housing and bill costs.
3. Unchecked inflation (even if most is carry over from Trump).
4. Ukraine and Israels war rages on with no end in sight at US tax payers expense.
5. Transgender operations to minors.
6. Interest rates through the roof
“I’ve gone through it. Believe me. I don’t know what to tell you, but this isn’t you.”
How do I reckon with that?
Maybe when *you are in the minority* it’s time to engage in self-reflection, rather than saying the majority is just too racist or sexist or dumb
Everyone from the intolerant pronoun-patrol to the “genocide!” crowd owns a piece of this
