It's entirely possible for both the Dems and you to be wrong. Yes, the Dems ran a bad campaign. But you also chose not to oppose Donald Trump. You don't get a pass on tacit approval of escalating genocide, deportation of minorities, destructuon of Ukraine, war with Iran, oppression of trans and homosexuals, and the gutting of the w9rking class just because the not-fascist wasn't progressive enough for you.
Any blame for what comes next lies with you as much as anyone else who didn't oppose Trump. Every child who is separated from their family will be partly because of you. Every time someone does of a preventable disease because the medication has been banned by Kennedy, you'll be complicit in the death.
I would hope it keeps you up at night, but your head is so far up your ass feeling superior you don't give a fuck about the damage you've caused to the Palestinians you claim to be supporting that you don'teven know what you've done. You've uplifted the man who will authorize and celebrate the removal of Palestine from the map.
I voted for Harris against my moral principles precisely because i understand the damage that Trump will cause. I live in a state that trends blue, but I wasn't confident enough that it would do so this time around. So you can quit with your moralizing about all the things that are now my fault because I'm angry that the party I've supported my entire adult life abandoned their principles and abandoned the country in favor of their own wealth and their own egos. Since I voted for her, hell yeah I have every right to blame them for their own willful errors.
Even if I had not voted for Harris, I actually do get a pass on that. The Biden, and then Harris campaigns dropped the ball and they deserve the blame. They knowingly gambled the election, and the future of the country, in favor of AIPAC and other big donor money. That's disgusting and the blame lies on them.
Notice that every frocking liberal that doesn't want to hear how the party failed immediately turns and pretends you must not have voted right?
Apparently they yearn for the authoritarianism they expect the other side will get away with and want to do it too. Dissenters getting silenced and problems ignored is somehow the policy of the Democrat liberals now. No wonder they lose.
