/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!
If Democrats knew they’d lose for supporting genocide,.they wouldn’t have done it. It’s precisely because blue-no-matter-who voters convinced them that they were invincible that they ended up losing. They thought they could bully the base into voting for them because enough of the base was willing to be bullied and proud of it.
On the other side, Trump is more likely to lose the war on Palestine.
Really smart to not have a primary. Definitely got everyone on the same page and reduced confusion!
Libs turning into election deniers is actually useful for radicalizing them imo
It’s our responsibility to inform them and get them organized. If we fail, we face the consequences too.
Organize workers into militant labor unions and leverage them for political struggle. Inflation won’t go away, it’s a structural problem that comes from the collapse of the US empire. As economic conditions continue to worsen the unions will only grow larger and more powerful, regardless of what happens to the NLRB.
Do you think most Americans are even capable of thinking mathematically?
Voting for Democrats is not all you can do.
There’s different reasons to not vote.
Some are disengaged. They don’t watch or read news, they often don’t even know what’s going on in the world around them.
Some are disenfranchised. There are obstacles that make voting difficult and confusing, and sometimes even impossible.
Some are dejected. After every election the Democrats mostly fail to help the people they promise to help during the elections.
Turnout is way down. We have to analyze why, not just lump them in with MAGA.
The popular vote is for nobody if you count the people who didn’t vote.
Democrats have at least another year of whining before they stop talking about this election.
Harris spent her whole campaign trying to win over Republicans! The campaign strategy was to take the Dem base for granted and focus solely on people who are swayed by the likes of Liz Cheney.
He wasted it, but he was playing against the Washington Generals in this election cycle.
Every lib who says “you don’t want power,.you want to endlessly critique power”
Surprised they didn’t go for “elekkktions.”
First as farce, second as an even dumber farce.
Damn that’s really gonna move the needle!
Individual persons that happen to be Black, sure.
But to characterize this as “Black voters” paints a picture that there’s some kind of large constituency of Black Trump supporters even though that’s clearly not the case. It’s a tiny minority of a minority population.
They burned a police station down. That’s not something people do when they’re too comfortable.
It was a revolutionary moment, there just wasn’t an organized political force or party to take control of the situation and push forward an agenda. It was merely more of the same leaderless horizonalism that characterized the 2010s. That shit doesn’t work, but that doesn’t mean nothing else was possible. We won’t have a revolution just because people are uncomfortable. It requires organizing, which is what we should be doing right now and immediately after Trump steals the election.
Harris has done a good job appealing to fiscal conservatives, she might have peeled some business owners away.
They were in a bubble of other blue-no-matter-who media and were assured by the consultants from Clinton’s campaign and the Labour Party that they could ignore those polls.
So really, it would have taken a big enough push from the public that MSNBC became anti-genocide. Hypothetically it could have happened, but the Democratic base is too disorganized to pull that kind of bottom-up messaging coup off.
