    What part? Pointing out that the Democrats clear failures led to Trump being elected?

    It seems like people who point out why Trump got elected should be taken seriously instead of being dismissed. Maybe learning and avoiding the obvious mistakes of the past is a good idea.

      It’s the part where no one was actually pointing out that the Republicans were the same or worse. I’m not defending the Democrats. I’m just calling you all out for helping Republicans.

        Me and a lot of others were pointing out that the Republicans were worse, and that’s why we wanted Democrats to pick a candidate that the voters actually wanted. Your revisionist history is a bad faith attempt to shift blame from those that refuse to learn why they keep losing elections to a fascist party.

          I was one of those people by the way. So why are you even arguing with me? And it’s not revisionist history. It’s open history for all to see. The coverage was massively one-sided. So much so that many Palestinians legitimately thought Trump would be better. The only one practicing revisionist history here is you If you deny that. Or the fact that everyone constantly and only was criticizing Biden, if that wasn’t you then why you defending the ones that did? Because the receipts are all over lemmy and the mass media

            I’m arguing with you because you are lying. Plenty of people said that the Republicans are worse. I don’t think the coverage was one sided, it’s just that the Democrats couldn’t see how bad their candidate was. Yes, some voters are dumb, and thought Trump would be better, that’s how voters are. Maybe if we could have pointed to a party that was actually trying to fix things, we could have had better ammo to sway them.

            I saw plenty of people criticizing Trump AND Biden. Saying that everyone constantly and only criticized Biden is openly false.

              Then point out a single lie. Yes plenty of people said it in isolation. It wasn’t enough. Has the same goes the road to hell is paved with good intentions. And we are here.

              If you don’t think the coverage was one-sided that’s literally on you. Pick any day span from the last election cycle and count the average of anti-biden post and compare that to the average of any post criticizing trump or republicans. Even here in leftyville it was wildly skewed. And then understand that the mass media was far far worse

                Those are both completely untrue. I saw the election coverage. I saw a bunch of shit being thrown at Biden/Harris and Trump. The idea that it was one-sided is just ignoring how bad the Democratic candidates were.

                  Neither are a lie. You are just misrepresenting them and being disingenuous. When taken in the context and the understanding of course they were intended. They’re unfalsifiable. This was never about the you that is personal to just you. It’s about the you that is the group of you. Breathlessly reposting the same stories day on day. That largely only called out Biden Etc. Dance around it all you want. We see you for what you are. I pushed back against the one-sided narrative every day. And I received so much hate for it. But in the end I was right. I would give anything to have been wrong. But I was right
