Elections aren't a sporting event where a candidate "loses". It's actually the people who are the competing athletes.
The American people chose to elect the child rapist.
I think they're referring to the DNC's insistence on a transparently corporatist neoliberal agenda who's candidates are barely electable versus even open fascists, and their habit of deflecting blame for continual strategic failure onto constituents.
It's called a primary. Biden/Kamala were the options because people chose them in the 2016 primary. But even with the DNC picked corporatist that wasn't primaried it shouldn't have mattered because a monkey flinging poop should have been elected over the child rapist. But America chose the child rapist.
What is this mental gymnastic nonsense? Elections are contests that absolutely do have winners and losers. You're also claiming in your first sentence that "elections aren't a sporting event" but then call the people "athletes"
That user is correct that the DNC shares all the blame with the RNC and Trump for what we're now experiencing. They've demonstrated election after election that they're unwilling to govern this country correctly and do what needs to be done to fix the mess we've been falling into for decades. It's always complete inaction, excuses, or half-measures that do little more than generate good PR. If they had accomplished anything truly meaningful in all this time, half the voting population wouldn't be looking to a child rapist as "the better option."
Sorry, I stopped reading where you "both sides".
You're not going to stop fascism by attacking those that are opposing it.
American culture has become rotten. It's all about greed and laziness. The real winner of the last election was laziness. More people didn't vote than voted for either candidate. Then there was those that voted for a fascist under the false belief they would somehow share in the profit from being cruel to others. Over 2/3 of Americans were either hoping to profit from cruelty or were too lazy to prevent it.
I'm not American and I'll tell you that the Democratic party is a completely normal political party in a democratic system. All parties in democratic countries are like that. The reason you hate them is because deep down you just hate democracy.
Americans are incapable of any kind of introspection, so you just look for someone to blame rather than recognize how rotten American culture is. You're just not the brave freedom loving democratic people that you loudly proclaim to the world you are. You're cowardly, greedy, lazy, and hypocritical people. You'll never improve your country if you just go on looking for scapegoats rather than taking a cold hard look at what America is really all about. The first step is admitting you have a problem and you can't do that.
You ignored the important modifier to the sentence which is, "where the candidate loses".
That is it isn't a sporting event between candidates. It is a sporting event between the people. The candidate isn't the athlete. The candidate is the goal that the people kick their ball into.
Oh okay "politicians are goals that people kick their ball into" therefore it's okay for Democrats to enable the Republican agenda at every turn. Thanks for clarifying things.
It's what people voted for.
As opposed to the senile pedo or the black cop that spoke like an old white liberal?
The senile pedo won and is currently president
Can't believe how easily he walked into that one.
And liberals claim they are different, they don't mind senile pedos as long as it's their senile pedo
Oh you're just spreading conspiracies gotcha
Sure is interesting how you're seeing a lot more of that same rhetoric ever since the Epstein files and they're obvious cover-up has become bigger and bigger news. It's almost like they were given marching orders.
It's no conspiracy that this country was run by a senile pedo, now being run by another senile pedo.
I don't know how you can look at all the pictures and video clips of Biden creeping on girls, read testimony from some of them from the past who have grown up, know that Epstein's Island wasn't some politically partisan affair (how the fuck did Trump suck off Bill Clinton at an Epstein event if Bill wasn't there)... and decide that of all fucking people, Joe fucking Biden deserves the benefit of the doubt on being a pedo.
Hands down he was better than the sack of fat and bronzer we have now. That doesn't mean he wasn't an obvious as fuck pedo.
It is in fact possible to understand the horrors of the Democrat fuckstains while understanding the Republicans are monumentally worse.
