The guy at the switch represents dem "leadership".
It took the combined efforts of a lot of people to accomplish the Trump presidency. It took Harris' weak platform, it took tankies' attacks on Harris, and it took voters believing that Harris was worse than fascism. It's a democracy, and that means millions of people share the blame.
Jesus Christ stop with this "tankies" bullshit already. Go outside. I fucking wish there were millions of "tankies" out there swaying US elections, but there aren't. Attacks land most solidly when they are based in truths. I personally did not vote for Harris because of her unapologetic support for Israel's genocide. How many other people did the same? A hundred thousand maybe? A couple hundred thousand?
The democrats fucked up by assuming that "not Trump" would get out the vote like it did in 2020. Unfortunately, they haven't done shit for people since then. They've had 4 years to get shit done that nobody could argue with, but they didn't. Instead, they took a hard right turn in the campaign (Gaza, border policy, "muscular military", etc). Predictably, this didn't " energize the base".
Democrat leadership decided fascism was preferable to any capital concessions to the working class. It wasn't the first time, and it won't be the last.
Go away.
I get that you're grieving right now. I hope you'll come back in a week and read this again.
GO AWAY.
