I literally see voters saying the Democrats were too left leaning, jfc.

With parties like this, painful collapse is the only way to avoid multigenerational destitution.

There is no saving the United States as a framework. It is far too compromised, with too many methods installed to keep the people willfully ignorant and infighting as the owners suck their life forces dry for profit.

We can limp along and pretend that isn't the case, but climate change, aka the reality that doesn't give a shit about our self-delusion and greed worship, will force that collapse sooner rather than later. Reality can't be bribed, deluded, disappeared, or discredited.

Enjoy living in delusion that a society can function in capitalist competition against itself, the ability to do so is coming to an end.

I think its important to ask the people saying that to name specific examples of HOW they were too left leaning. People just want to hurt someone now because they are hurt - it doesn't matter if they are punching left or right, if they perceive something as landing, it makes them feel better.

I am seeing Liberals online blaming minorities for not showing up when the reality is, across the board Dem voters didn't show up.

If only the consequences only applied to the people causing the issue. We're all in the blast radius. I hope I live long enough to see hope returning. So far it's just been a constant decline.

“To all those growing skeptical of this party’s strategies and overall agenda, let me just say we hear you loud and clear. Rest assured we will be doing everything short of interpreting that sound into words and responding to those words in any way shape or form.”

This is an all-timer.

Pffft!!! If your idea of "learning" is to copy any of the fascist ideas of trump, then yes, they should NOT learn anything. Did Jews after Hitler go fascist...... Oh wait.

What trump does well is saying things that people want to hear. Obama was good at that as well when he first ran. That is what all good candidates do and it's what the dems should do regardless if they learn it from trump or not

Then again, most of what trump says is lies lies lies designed to scapegoat immigrants, and trans folks. Obama did not do that. And Obama won cos folks were tired of Repukes, and he was a feelgood candidate for some whites who could now say to themselves: "See? Imma conservative, kinda but I'm still a good guy cos I voted for the black dude with the cute little girls". I doubt Obama would've won against a young white man with pretty blonde kids. It would've been a lot closer. This time around, we can't exclude some hacking took place, given the size of trumps win. Since he won so convincingly ALL swingstates, not just the ones he needed, is a thing which makes that likely. Either hacking or the Putin paid influencers Men, young men, just do NOT vote in those numbers. It's all very unlikely.
