I was gonna title this "And here I sit so patiently waiting to find out what price you have to pay to get out of going through all these things twice" and then write "Stuck inside of America with the fascism blues again" here, but I'm not sure if that comes off like gloating and that's honestly the last thing I want to do this morning.
Hey! Don’t forget that it also alienated anyone who is even moderately humanist!
Democrats will have two years to build their reputation as Vocally (but ineffectually) opposing Donald Trump.
But I think the bigger question is whether they actually do that. I can see a lot of Dems turning coat after this and just going along with Trump like they went along with Bush in 2001.
Remember when everyone hated Cheney? Not sure why the Democrats thought they would help them win an election.
I think their intention was to appeal to older Republicans who remember the bush years with rose tinted glasses and don't approve or the pivot that the GOP has done post-Obama.
Evidently they don't make up a significant amount of red voters when compared to the frothing fascists who would eagerly re-elect a rapist.
Democrats keep extending the olive branch out of naïvety only to have it used to smack them across their stupid fucking faces.
I was like uhh ok? And?
I figure that's probably one of the better reactions because in hindsight who the fuck cares what that warpig thinks or who it endorses?
I went to check Reddit for the first time in a while. It is interesting to see the difference in reaction on Lemmy and Reddit. At least Lemmy is admitting that running a Republican campaign with Lez Cheney might not have been the best idea.
There is absolutely zero self reflection on Reddit. All blame lies on "racist imigrants".
On Reddit Democrats had the perfect economic plan. Forget Kamala failing to secure the Unions. No teamsters endorsement. Forget the railroad strike shutdown. Forget massive inflation. The genocide is never even mentioned on Reddit. Kamala was 100% perfect in every single way.
No mention of the massive increase of young white voters for Trump either
Democrats will lose again in 2028. They vehemently refuse to learn from any of this. Instead of doing anything progressive they will say everyone is a racist and move right.
So we’re not downvoting anything even slightly critical of the democrats anymore?
Good. Because they fucked this one up.
There is a tiger on the lose. Let's blame the people who are against caging the tiger in the first place.
I can't believe the bullshit with the Cheneys. When a war criminal like Dick Cheney endorses you, you disavow them.
Harris even got endorsed by Richard Spencer, who's a white nationalist, and she didn't say shit! What was she thinking? "I've got the neocon vote, now maybe I'll get the Nazi vote"?

And lemmy's centrists were so goddamned happy that Cheney endorsed. They finally got the party to move so far to the right that they got Dick Cheney's endorsement. That was when they considered it a win and they didn't care about what happened after.
"Stein got a Nazi to endorse her even though she disowned it, she's horrid."
"Harris openly loved Cheney and didn't say anything Spencer, she's the the most progressive person to ever run!"
Every interest group in the Democratic party after a loss: "See? It's because [Candidate] didn't agree with ME enough!"
Maybe if they did your idea the loss would have been worse.
I switched my registration party from Democrat to Independent today. Tired of this shit. Enough is enough I'm voting my values from now on.
Speaking as a hungarian having lived under Orbán's rule for 16 years and counting, don't worry; after this point you will have either no elections or they will be a pointless mockery only.
The fact that you're registered is wild to me. One of the few things my state has right is having open primaries imo
Til a few hundred words by rando dude I've never heard of is an "autopsy".
Less than 50 words!
Oof I was just giving the benefit of the doubt since I didn't feel like counting. What a real absolute take down that 50-word autopsy was.
But it felt like a Harry Potter book to him 😮💨
Harry Potter is liberal political scripture.
Democrats were too busy making sure progressive candidates were banned from participating in democracy.
The Democratic Convention had room on the stage for anti-choice Republicans, but none for Palestinian-Americans. I heard the speech that representative was going to give. There was nothing controversial in there. It didn't mention an arms embargo. Having them present was too much for the DNC.
It's a big tent party for "former" Republicans, oligarchs, corporations, but not anyone the Republicans are making hit lists of right now.
Palestinians can't even attend, "she's talking right now." Meanwhile she just has lunch with the people who made the War ~~for Oil~~ on Terror, and acts like this is true progress and you're the bad guy for not warming up to Dick Chaney.
hey man Cheney and Bush are monsters and we have to stop them by voting blue no matter who
checks calendar sorry I mean Cheney and Bush are moderate Republicans who endorse Kamala let's give them a hand
Isn't it amazing that both the female democratic candidates for president in our history have campaigned with war criminals and then lost. I wonder if there's a lesson there?
Famed pacifist Hillary Clinton
