Gosh you mean pivoting right to get moderate right wing voters (whatever the fuck kinda unicorn that is) didn't work and the base of democratic voters were given basically nothing to be excited about so they just stayed home? I'm shocked. Shocked! Well. Not that shocked - ThreadSky

2024 voter file data is finally coming in, and it confirms that Democrats who stayed home in November helped tip the election to Trump. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Yeah I could have guessed the dem messaging of "enjoy the camps" and "Welcome to the stage, a Cheney!" wasn't going to pan out well with voters either.

But now supposedly California voters overwhelming want her to be our next governor.

People that stayed home can still fuck off - zero excuses for not voting against the oncoming tyranny.

shut the fuck up

Truth hurts

mbletst.bsky.social•10 days ago

it must, if you cry like that.

mbletst.bsky.social•10 days ago

there was the genocide

stu4calde.bsky.social•10 days ago

Now its worse.

mbletst.bsky.social•10 days ago

it's the same at worst

stu4calde.bsky.social•10 days ago

Wrong and stupid. You (non voters) helped condemn LGBTQIA people and refugees all over the world, for what? Dems to learn a lesson? Such a juvenile and pathetic mindset.

mbletst.bsky.social•10 days ago

you're actually just upset that your support of genocide means your own life might be slightly less comfy cozy all the time, so stop using us as shields for your myopic selfishness.

mbletst.bsky.social•10 days ago

as someone in both of those groups, fuck your support of genocide.

It's closing in on May, and you still haven't figured out that the only options that didn't involve voting for tyranny were to stay home or support third parties.

stu4calde.bsky.social•10 days ago

I think that is an increbly naive and juvenile thing to believe

Which President sent stormtroopers to brutalize student protesters on their own campus? Which president spent his term shovelling billions in weaponry to Banderite nazis? Which president refused to close GITMO when he was in office?

You can't recognize fascism when it's staring you in the face.

Again, if you think the gross incompetence and Un-American bullshit going on then is the same as now then I can't help you, it's night and day.

inb4 you have 5000 people screaming at you that any and all disillusioned non-voters are all just racist Nazis, and another 5000 people screaming at you calling *you* a racist Nazi.

Love this website.

I'm ready to block people who are incapable of facing the literal facts

travisteatime.bsky.social•10 days ago

Which is really the only rational approach that also noone else ever even seems to consider.

wefeelgroove.bsky.social•10 days ago

Oh hey a free block list

Its weird how self sabotagey they are not even for any other reason than a sort of pervasive cowardice to simply not fight or stand up for anything.

striderhlc.bsky.social•10 days ago

They really thought 2024 was finally gonna be the year that suburban white people flipped, huh.

eniko.bsky.social•10 days ago

Every presidential election year is the year they think suburban white people finally flip

To people on this thread bashing the messengers. I personally voted for Kamala because yes, I knew Trump 2.0 was going to be this bad.

But I also knew lots of people would stay home because of the mainstream dems futile attempt to appeal to "moderate Republicans" that no longer exist.

safty.me•10 days ago

Left-of-center folks warned the Dems back in the aftermath of the 2020 election that Trump would return if they did not change course and continued to pretend they still exist in the political environment of the 1990s.

They didn't listen, and Trump is back.
