This is a must-read article for all who care about the Democratic Party. If Biden voters had not stayed home, we would have won.
The bottom line?
“They’re deeply disappointed with the Democratic Party. They’re skeptical of government. They’re skeptical of politics in general —

Did anyone learn? Nope. They voted for the orange mouthpiece— once, twice, three times an idiot and kept the dusty pre-civil rights dinosaurs mixed in with the participation trophy crybabies.
Democrats voted. Their votes were not counted.
I pray she runs again, because the only real challenge she faces is from Pete Buttigieg.
People have agency over where they get their information, if they did this knowingly, & they would have had to, they’re responsible for the shit show that the world finds itself in, and they can look in the mirror when the world no longer comes back to the US
Well #they can go to that RACIST side for all I care
I will never not be angry with the voters who stayed home in 2024.
They need new marketing.

possibly more then some native born citizens.
2020: vote Dem like your lives depend on it!!!
2024: vote Dem like your lives depend on it!!!
Meanwhile, what have the Dems done to give us better candidates? Zero
No progress on gun control either, and these kids are now voting age and pissed off. Rightly so.
The "establishment" needs to go.
Do as I say!
Don't look behind the curtain!
How DARE you have critical thinking and concerns about the world!!!
Good grief, just stop it.
But the point is to learn and reach
1) Supports the Israeli genocide
2) Supports cop cities
3) We didn't pick her, Biden screwed up and said he'd run again and we didn't get a primary.
5) No plans for real change, just more of the same.
And yes, everyone I know believes the Dems are wimps with NO PLANS to fight back.
Put @jasminecrockett.bsky.social in a leadership role!!!
Well how are they feeling now???
Geeze.
When naive / gullible people believe
“ they’re eating the cats, they’re eating dogs “ …
nothing the Dems did or say would win over those maga voters.
.
If Democrats don’t put up a fucking candidate worth voting for then we go out and find our own.
The goddamn performative status quo motherfuckers are not getting it done now.
Any democrat who hasn’t Stood Up against this needs to be primaried immediately.
Do you think he will leave?
Do you really think he will let an election occur?

They stayed home because they are selfish stupid people
And here we are.....
The bottom line is that these people are selfish, childish, irresponsible idiots.
Harris wasn't perfect. No candidate is. But if someone couldn't see the difference between a generic politician and an outright fascist, they're a fool and nobody should value their opinion.
But I am neither, just a regular dude with a job that might disappear in Trump's economy, a sister-in-law who got fired from USAID, and a foreign-born girlfriend I'm now worried will be deported, so I will continue to rage at them.
I volunteer too, but I'm going to stick to paths by which I don't have to interact with these idiots.
Wtaf?
They have nothing to complain about because they’re the reason we are here. I give no fucks abt their flawed logic and I hope they suffer as much as MAGA
#FAFO
They need to court non voters and apathetic dem voters.
Why the advice was to try to swing shitty republicans to care about things they never cared about before is mysterious.
* VP Harris was not weak.
We didn’t fight back hard enough in 2024. We were too nice. We let too many cooks in the kitchen.
But we need young people to run. We need to retire everyone over 75, including Schumer.
Yeah. That too, ffs.
Expecting a perfect candidate is foolishness. No one stops people from involving themselves in the party.
People simply aren't pragmatic.
Especially the gEnoCiDe jOe assholes.
We. Need. Better. Candidates.
We need better candidates.
Biden ignored Gen z completely. These kids have grown up with school shootings and the government has done NOTHING. They are pissed at an establishment that is stuck in the 20th century.
We need to clean house and get rid of the elderly in Congress, get term limits, etc. instead it's more of the same.
They don't want fascism or the establishment.
The younger voters are sick of being ignored and maybe this was their statement, and the dems should take citizens more seriously.
For whatever reasons the demonstrably progressive and pro-labor accomplishments did not get out clearly or loudly enough.
Someone else get them back right now. I just want to punch them.
Hope: they are appalled at Musk and Trump and motivated to turn out in 2026.
But: "there was an overwhelming feeling expressed across all of the groups that the Democratic Party is “weak,” ..that Democrats “need to grow a backbone,” ...
They aren’t gettable.
A Donald Trump will turn anything into a weapon, and so will his followers. Dems need to return the favour.
Get out there & fight! Get creative! Get aggressive! Cuz, the old days of us supporting any D are over.You have to earn it.
You can do something also.
The kind of leader they are looking for?
"Hint: That person is more in the mold of Rep. [AOC] than Senate Majority Leader ...Schumer"
I voted for Kamala and really nearly disgusted with the establishment Dems . Weak , ineffectual and seemingly apathetic mostly. No guts , no glory . Essentially Republican lite
92% of black women, and 78% of black men.
Grrr.
The point is we have to be real.
The kind of leadership exemplified by Schumer has to go. There must be some semi-populist message from the left.
