Why are Liberals are taking expedited genocide of Palestinas as consultation price?
Love the font. Reminds me of Rexlia, but it's slightly different.
ignores core voter issues
spends entire campaign talking about how opponent is worse
Tells entire uncommitted voter base to fuck off
"Why did the voters do this to us? Those must be 10 million russian/maga/chinese shills in disguise."
Clearly it's the voters who are wrong.
In the context of people that claimed to care about the genocide, yep - the voters were undeniably wrong. That doesn't make the Democrats any more right.
Libs would rather cry for months about how they completely botched an election than do anything to stop a genocide.
Rashida Tlaib won 62-38 in a district that Harris lost 43-32-15 R/D/G. The idea that Libs can't win or that Libs won't stop genocide is flatly false. They exist. But they're also at the top of the AIPAC hit-list (Cori Bush and Jamal Bowmen were two other staunch anti-genocide candidates forced out during their primaries) so they have to fight for their lives in their own primaries rather than turning out the vote nationally for their candidates.
The dirty truth is that Dems can be gaslit and railroaded by a fascist white nationalist press as easily as any Republican. We saw a hard right tilt this election because we were flooded with hard right propaganda over the last two years.
Pinning the results of a tsunami of fascist media on individual voters is just blaming the victims. When your social media is owned and operated by apartheidists and gusanos why are you surprised to see voters adopt their views? Garbage In, Garbage Out.
I'm sure some of these strawman exist in a field somewhere keeping the crows away.
Democrats need to get rid of First Past The Post voting in the blue states they control. Time to admit they need help and shouldn't be going alone against the republicans
More democracy.
More chances to defeat the republicans.
More people engaged and involved in the political process.
More people voting = more votes for democrats.
More chances of republicans electing a more moderate candidate.
Electoral reform is an absolute win for the people of this country. Except for the legacy poltical parties. They will unfortunately have to compete for your vote. If they are unable to stay relevant, that's on them for becoming weak and frail using FPTP as a crutch.
Why would the democratic party want democracy? The people in positions of power in the party got a lot of great fundraising this cycle, and they'll be able to use the threat of this incoming disaster to raise even more!
Why would people vote for Republican Lite, if there's the real deal? At least now we know chasing these Republican votes was foolish and that we should campaign on universal leftist points. Right? Right???
