Democrats lost because of 1 of 2 possibilities:
1. Most Americans are some combination of lazy, feckless, bigot, or fascist.
2. Trump cheated.
But it had nothing to do with Dems being worse than Repubs on policy or messaging quality, because no damn way I'm buying anybody trying to sell me that.

"Blue MAGA" has always been behavior projection. If you want to claim you're leftist while actually white knighting Trump and helping Republicans attack their opposition, I can't stop you, but I can expect you to own up and admit you're the one who joined up with MAGA.
Nor does Trump winning mean he had better messaging from the POV of anyone sane and anti-fascist.
We have hard statistics that show the more effort you put into informing yourself on topics, the more likely you were to vote Democrat.
But this is an issue that laypeople need to solve, as it's laypeople that built the right-wing social networks.
When it was wealthy right-wing laypeople who built the right-wing network, so it needs to be wealthy or other socially well-connected left-wing laypeople who build ours.
We already accuse anything/one pro-Dem of being a paid shill, there's no way in hell we take it seriously if those people ACTUALLY ARE paid shills.
Please be realistic about the social landscape, I beg people.
They plan for the long run and don't give up and sit home based on temporary setbacks.
They understand the concept of voting reliably and voting *against* someone if needed.
They build support networks aimed at working the system.
Which the endless amount of people I see still screaming bloody murder any time anyone *doesn't* blame Dems for everything or expect Dems to do everything, suggests that acceptance is not happening any time soon. Sigh.
Wishing Dems could have been better = Fair
Calling me Blue MAGA because I didn't irrationally blame Dems for what logic shows couldn't be their fault: DDS.
Rants about patently illogical common narratives I'm tired of hearing where I can't understand why people constantly refuse to do any sanity checks on narratives before repeating/coming up with them, are my specialty.
