Yep. You literally see it all over the place.
‘I personally did not get 100% of what I wanted including free puppies for everyone, so I’m never voting again.’
Sweet, so now you get 0% of what you want, instead of 50% of what you wanted. Congrats. Have fun with that sense of moral superiority.
Obama had an entire republican party and Joe Libermann stopping medicare for all. Blame Joe Liebermann, not the guy who tried to get it done.
Biden had one of the thinnest congresses in history, yet his ledger is still full of progressive asks. That apparently isn’t good enough, because he didn’t get you 100% of what you wanted.
This is the entire problem. You expect 100% of what you demand, and when you don’t get it, you’re ‘done’ and don’t want to participate anymore.
Thank you for highlighting this for me.
Yeah I’d agree to all of that.
Sweet. Democrats had plans for a lot of those things, and you guys stayed home and now we have a Nazi in the white house.
The left cannot message, because every liberal has their own individual hierarchy of what the top policy issue should be.
And the left cannot accept that peoples’ priorities are not the same.
Sure, the Israel stuff is awful. Do you see these people complaining about Myanmar, or El Salvador, or any of the other human crisis areas in the world? No. They aren’t. They’re complaining about the hot topic item and being slacktivists online, then convincing themselves that making a statement by not participating will some how get people to pay attention to them.
I’ve seen it since the 2000’s, and frankly, I’m fucking sick and tired of terminally online liberalism. It does nothing but complain and then offers no solutions to actually get anything done.
‘We want ranked choice, we want better healthcare, we want better education’ blah blah blah then they sit at home and let a Nazi win. Twice.
Like, have fun riding your moral high horse down to the cattle cars. I hope it was worth it because the democrats didn’t prioritize giving queer pets more representation at shelters or some shit.
‘Rigging the primaries’ as in picking the person who had the most votes?
Cmon man. Did the dems play politics? Sure they did. Do you honestly expect people who are part of an established party to not rally around a candidate that has been a steadfast loyalist in the party for decades, who championed the original version of public healthcare, and instead, rally around a dude who says all the right things but can’t legislate for anything?
This is letting perfect be the enemy of good.
They’re also coopting far left groups to further their goals as well. Lets not kid ourselves.
Where do you think all the ‘don’t vote because X’ reasons suddenly came up a few months before the election in leftist circles?
Easy. They got enough progressives to care about it to not vote, and now that wedge issue is done and they have total control over the government because somehow, Israels actions are the fault of Democrats.
Simple as that.
Precisely. They almost solely are responsible for him. The news companies wagged the dog for clicks.
A man of culture I see.
You think the guy who could never form a single coalition to pass any major legislation is a good choice?
No offense but that’s dumb.
Bernie has good politics but he’s a horrendous politician. Standing off to the side saying the right things, and never getting any legislation passed, is not being a leader. Part of politics is getting people on your side.
He tried to come in and tell everyone he wanted to be the team captain, while never playing a single inning for the team he was wanting to lead.
Are you shocked that people who played on that team didn’t want him to be the leader?
I totally blame the media for a massive part of it. Biden has one bad debate and the news talked about it for over a month.
trump literally did the handjob dance and stood there doing nothing for 40 minutes, and it was out of the news cycle in 24 hours.
The news is why he got elected both times. Which is why I refuse to watch news anymore.
Two extremely qualified women both were defeated by the worst candidate in our countries history.
I love AOC and her policies, but this country has proven it’ll vote for literally the worst encapsulation of boomer greed than vote for a capable and competent woman. Twice.
The Democrats are morons if they pick a woman to run next time. Simple as that.
Let AOC kick Schumer out and take his senate seat. She would be much more effective there.
I live in LA. You can find apartments here for cheap if you look.
The whole reason southern California and the Bay Area are both expensive, is because they are some of the most desirable places to live in the entire country.
Simple as that.
You have no idea what you’re talking about.
We gave the gov’t 80+ billion dollars in taxes. Texas took 70 billion from the gov’t.
I live here. Shit’s better here than any red state I’ve lived in that’s for fucking sure.
Do you live here? Or are you just another conservative who shits on my state without having ever stepped foot in this place.
He had one bad choice and one meh choice. There was plenty of progressive legislation in Harris’ platform. These people didn’t get 100% of what they wanted and sat home like entitled children.
I voted against the fascist, thank you very much.
Apparently, that was too hard for you.
I hope that you enjoy your moral superiority as you’re rounded up by trumps gestapo.
Red states voted for this. Fuck em.
