i can’t even guess as to why they went quiet. not one guess at all. we will never know.
edit: well they’re not quiet now once they get called out
You can continue blaming everything but the DNC, but it won’t change the fact that they are complicit in genocide and no matter who was in charge, the US will continue it’s legacy of genocide worldwide.
The only people making noise are the centrists looking to blame everyone but themselves for a sweep of all the levers of government, and a gradual loss of the judiciary that will doom the republic. It was an epic asswipping of historic proportions with you lot leading and owning the losing strategy. You dont even have the diginity to be embarrassed about it.
You geniuses lost voters across every single demographic except college educated whites, flatly ignored the economic hardship of the lower and middle class and told people they were delusional to talk about it, and on top of that they enabled and participated in obvious far right war crimes. You lost minority and youth support and trust across the board. And you have no way of earning it back beyond your same tired playbook of being slightly better than Trump, on just a few issues.
Even if Harris had done the right, legal, moral thing and indicated she’d halt the shipments, she still would have lost on her idiotic low-polling economic policy that polled the same as Joe Bidens presidency. So you all supported war crimes and soiled the dem name for basically no gain at all. You doomed the republic, soiled the global understanding of “democracy”, and showed the western world order to be a hollow shell of what it once was, where laws and justice dont really matter. All so the DNC elites could take some zionist bribes on a single election cycle, which you then lost. Heck of a job. Its hard to imagine screwing the globe any more thoroughly. Its breathtaking. You couldnt have done a more thorough job if you were maga republican fascists yourselves.
fuckem. And honestly, if i get banned from a sub for calling out their bullshit then that’s a sub I’m not interested in being in.
What’s this, a sudden influx of votes and comments that visibly oppose the votes and comments that came from the intended community, made apparent by older, lower-visibility comments such as those under folds having completely opposite positions and ratings? Why that almost sounds like a brigade! Surely not, we left those behind on Reddit, right?
They should be so happy to have achieved what they voted for. This is their utopia too and they deserve to enjoy the fruits of their single-principle voting as well.
When they see people sick and poor with no support or hope, young girls risking life and limb to bear the children of their rapists, rotting infrastructure and a rampant xenophobic kleptocracy, they need to stand and say “I helped make this happen!”
Be proud of the utopia you helped build by voting for the Russian agent; either one.
If only the 7 million leftists in this country had voted for Harris instead of abstaining. /s
Leftists just pointed out the flaws in Harris’ campaign. Dems ran a shit campaign in an attempt to appeal to “fallen Republicans”.
You’re welcome to blame leftists for Kamala losing the election. But in doing so you are failing to see why Harris really lost the election. Though I’m sure the Dems will do the same. They learn from nothing.
You are talking about Gaza right
The Democratic party or a campaign can’t fail, they can only be failed, right OP?
Dems failed and people who abhor genocide unfortunately had little to do with it, though listening to Lemmy libs you’d think they personally destroyed her campaign
I have been seeing this online, leftist, superposition where people not voting Democrat, to protest the genocide, are not a significant enough portion of the vote, to have tanked the election for the DNC, and that enough of the 15 million who sat out clearly did so due to the genocide, to make them lose. I have seen it argued both ways from a number of the same people, in different threads, when the messaging behind either, works in their favor. No these people are not russian bots, they have been around lemmy, doing normal poster stuff, for a while now. They just want to not take any blame, and also claim their issue was far more universally important than it was.
“My vote for Jill Stein/My non vote for protest/etc. isn’t what killed her chance, it was people being mad about other things the DNC didn’t do well!” Then, on another post, seeing the same user name, “15 million people wouldn’t have sat out had they stopped supporting Israel!”
Yes. This but unironically.
Tell me, throughout history, how often have atrocities, mass slaughter, and genocide been claimed at the time to be justified on the basis of self-preservation? Say, “securing a future for our white children,” for example. Out of those, how many times have the people saying, “better them than us” actually been on the right side of history?
It blows my mind how genuinely prone to evil Americans are, as a culture. There are people who have actually experienced the horrors of war, watched their houses burned down, watched their loved ones die, who still refuse to turn to something as evil as genocide as a solution. But liberals sitting comfortably on their couches worried that they might have to deal with a shitty politician for the next four years will immediately jump on board with being Hitlerites if it means they can go back to brunch instead of doomscrolling. Like, y’all don’t even consider Trump bad enough to actually start opposing the US government and treating it as an enemy. I can only imagine what horrors and atrocities you’d resort to if you were ever actually faced with bombs dropping outside your homes.
I’ll go to my grave before I vote for genocide, and nothing anyone says or does will ever make me budge, and you’d best remember that because if you wanna blame me for Kamala losing, know that I’ll fucking do it again.
Hey did you forget the dems are supporting a genocide? Better vote for them anways! Hey did you forget the dems are supporting a genocide? Better vote for them anways! Hey did you forget the dems are supporting a genocide? Better vote for them anways!
Like fucking clockwork.
“But but genocide joe, such a catchy name! Why do I have to think further than some meme?” -💩
In this thread: morally superior busybodies absolutely malding and calling OP an enlightened centrist for making fun of them
it’s a lemmy classic
That is quite the projection given this entire post is morally superior dnc shills scolding the stupid drooling masses for their own parties historic failure.
But Alas, you’ve drawn yourself as the Chad and everyone else as the soyjack with this comment and thus can receive no criticism
I like how you’re accusing me of le strawman fallacy via jumping to conclusions and making shit up. Tilting at windmills isn’t better than beating up strawmen, though it’s easy to see how you’d think otherwise since that’s clearly all you’re equipped for.
Oh dang you sound mad. Do you think you can cool off enough to define malding for the room or would it put my earlier comment in context too well? Im just not equipped for that kind of analysis according to Democrats.
The “trembling with rage but pretending to be aloof and bemused” act is better on reddit, you should go back and do it there instead.
How edgy and cool and full of substance.

I still see them around. But it will be really quiet in January and February.
But you did
If you thought the people who were critical of the Democrats went quite after the election, you’re saying more about the echo chamber you’ve built for yourself than anything else.
Blame the at most 2 million or so antigenocide protestors, instead of the 75 million who voted for Trump. Considering Harris was short 8 million votes, it didn’t really matter.
Blame Trump voters first, but also blame Harris for running a dog shit campaign where she leaned right to pickup Republicans, and ended up picking up zero R voters while completely alienating the progressives and losing 14 million votes from Biden’s 2020 performance.
The Dems don’t seem too upset though. They would rather lose to the republicans than let progressives have any sort of power.
