Because you now did it to yourself.
I fucking hate our country right now. This country is the dumbest it’s ever been. There are no word as to how stupid this shithole is…
So, we all get forced to use X (twitter) now?
Wait, what? Thats a little bit of a stretch, don’t you think? Under Hitler, 6 million jews and millions of others were imprisoned, starved and slaughtered. I know some Jewish people who are fairly offended by this comparison. I know at first people were largely being hyperbolic, but its become clear that many actually feel this way. He aint Hitler guys, not even close. Thats kinda ridiculous.

The dem message of “we won’t do better but the other guy will do worse” failed. It was a bad message and it lost them the election against a terrible candidate. Voters need to be motivated to vote and that message isn’t motivating enough
The next question now is. Will your neighbors/friends/relatives cooperate with the new SS (ICE)
Don’t worry guys. We’ll run another centrist in 2028 too. But this time it’ll work.
I hope in the last leg of their campaign they dig up Nixon’s bones and get a endorsement from him to try and draw in conservatives that don’t care one bit about Nixon, and alternate and demotivate their actual base of voters!
LOL. Voting in the USA is over. There will be no future elections. And I hope you like church.
it’s sarcasm mate but yeah I hope they like it too
Clearly the problem is that she didn’t move far enough to the right. She only got 2 Cheneys.
I know you’re trying to be an asshole but looking at the election results that apparently actually was the issue. Our electorate wants a right wing fascist
God damn, don’t you fucking get it? Fascists are NEVER going to accept that a Democrat is one of them. Fascists aren’t going to vote for you just because you adopt their policies and throw the right vulnerable populations under the bus. It doesn’t matter how far to the right the party moves, fascists will never buy it.
But the left sure as hell will notice who you want to be besties with and who you take for granted.
Moving to the right has failed. Now do the only thing centrists do besides simp for Republicans and become abusive.
I didn’t suggest we actually do it.
Like hell.
Yes, you did. And clearly you didnt look at the results. They say nothing about right wing policies trump was capped out and harris didnt have a platform to bring out her base. 20 million of them. Instead she shit on arabs, students, working class, lgbt+. She lost a huge upswing in support by tying herself to biden instrad of throwing him under the bus like she should have.
The writing was on the wall in 2020 when we argued about whether biden really committed to a single term.
We warned you, we pleaded with you, we scolded you that this would happen. But what do we know, we’re just russian trolls.

We all went away today, as predicted.
I saw some smug person saying that today all the accounts who criticized Biden/Harris (as equally as Trump, mind you) would turn off today. I think I’m gonna at least crank out more shitposts just to spite that one person.
😶🌫️ im invisible.
Oh, you think Trump won’t break the barriers and sit for life?
statistically, if he wins, he’s likely to sit for life even if he doesn’t cancel future elections (or however he plans to suppress democracy), because, you see, he is very old and likely to die soon (but probably not soon enough for my taste).
Based on how he did with his speech to his supporters, I don’t think that’ll be for very long…
Look at the guy. He’s going to die before the end of the term and Vance will take over. That’s when the real fun begins.
Being a centrist is not Harris’ problem. Harris’ problem was being non-white and a woman in a nation of fickle uninformed voters.
Okay that’s just copium, but it’s jot because she was a centrist either. Harris wasn’t even trying to campaign competently or listen to her constituency; ultimately that’s what did her in.

Sounds exactly like a centrist to me.
Sure, that didn’t help, but she also was a “more of the same” candidate (she’s rhe current VP!)
As much as I wanted her to win, she was always a stupid choice in at a time where voters can essentially all agree on one thing: they want change.
Status quo politics is dead, the dems just haven’t realized it yet. As braindead as Trump and a most of his policies are, people like that he doesn’t give a shit about disrupting things to achieve his goals.
The problem is having a contested convention would have been just as bad. We all know what happened with McGovern in '72. The only chance was immediately unifying behind someone else and Harris was the only one people could agree on.
The main stupid decision was Biden not sticking to his word and choosing to run again despite his obvious unpopularity and age.
yes, his goals.
You’re right, I agree with you and I think his goals are both damaging and stupid… but at the end of the day his strategy is winning and we will obviously have to adapt to beat it.
we will obviously have to adapt
Democrats would rather lose and blame the left.
We ran a centrist in 2020 and it worked.
Biden wasn’t really a centrist in the same way Harris was. Biden ran on a progressive-ish platform, and mostly backed it up with action. He sure as hell didn’t run on fracking and locking up immigrants like Harris is.
… What the fuck are you talking about
The difference is she is a woman. Denying it won’t change a fucking thing.
Barely…
The Dems should definitely move more central on social issues, as the US election system has a huge built in rural bias.
Then focus on more broad-reaching progressive economic topics. Less focus on legislation targeting specific marginalized groups and more on policies which would impact everyone directly. As a potential example, Universal Basic Income (“Freedom Bonus” or whatever it was called) was one such policy which was floated a couple elections ago.
It doesn’t matter.
Europeans know the history of fascism much, much better than Americans do and they’re electing right-wing leaders too.
Hitler didn’t come to power by getting elected.
The liberal SDP split with the communists, supporting “centrist” Hindenburg in the name of unity.
The communists campaigned on “A vote for Hindenburg is a vote for Hitler is a vote for war”
Hindenburg, the liberal candidate, won the election, then proceeded to make Hitler, chancellor and staff positions in government with nazis while purging the government of communists.
The nazis then barely had to do anything to assert complete control.
The nazis didn’t get in power because people voted fascist, they got into power because liberals prefer fascism to working with communists.
Pour one out for America and Ukraine, and the Middle East in general. And Taiwan.
Europe and Asia, you guys better get your shit together, we might be out of this one permanently. Or we might have a very long recovery time spanning decades. Such fucking bullshit.
I don’t understand why you people only kill your good presidents.
I mean… McKinley was only so/so.
Because the good presidents were the ones who stood up against the evil Southern states.
