The message was loud and clear: America writ large is not ready for anything less than a straight, white, male president. Its time to stop being delusional, Obama was a fluke, and not going to be repeated. You might not like hearing it, but its the reality on the ground, don't take it from me.

In retrospect, I think Biden could have shat himself on live TV while asleep at the podium and probably have still gotten elected, the bar was so, so low. Kamala basically ran a prefect campaign, its just not what America wants.

This post proves Bernie Sanders right about at least one person.

The guy won the popular vote. The people who sat the election out would probably have broken for Trump too.

The problem here isn't voter turnout, it's voter preference for a fascist.

Actually, the problem appears to be exactly voter turn out. With a healthy heaping of Neo-Liberal rot in the Democratic Party.

That's just not true. You have no idea what the people who stayed home would have done if they were forced to vote. You have no idea how the campaign would have turned out if Harris had tried to win the popular vote.

When you lose an election this badly, people are clearly not buying you’re selling.

But damn I did not expect so many people to sit out against the guy who did the coup and amongst all the other shit. If there is any light ahead, I think it’s that this L forces the Democratic Party to lean back left with their campaign promises, and whatever power they have left to affect policy.

They are fucking incapable of learning this.

Bernie polled great against Trump but they snubbed him for Hillary and we lost because of it.

The only reason Biden won was because he wasn't Trump and we were tired of him at that point.

Kamala had a chance to swing a little more left but continued to try to court moderate conservatives and the suburbs instead.

They just can't get it through their heads that: Trump and maga are winning as a reaction of "fuck the system". This mostly stems from corporations and the filthy rich not being taxed enough and us not spending enough on social programs. That energy could have been captured and utilized by running a leftist.

But instead we get milquetoast business as usual bullshit

Utterly bizarre. I expected Trump might squeak out an electoral win, but the popular vote as well? Thanks everyone who stayed the fuck home. You sat by as fascism was ushered in to the US.

Yes, a Very Special Thanks to the morally pure angels who refused to vote for Kamala Harris because they were standing on high ground about some issue they disliked her on. Well done, fuckheads.

“He didn’t elaborate on what would be ‘nasty.’”

Bullies usually don't elaborate. Being vague lets you fill in your own demons, which is more frightening.

Also plausible deniability when the thugs he's whistling to go out and bash gays or blacks or Mexicans or whoever (athough in their minds he was giving them permission). "I never said go bash heads. No, I meant nasty as in peacefully, as in not sugarcoating the hard truth, which can be nasty."

"If liberals are so fucking smart why do they lose so goddamn always?"

  • Will McAvoy "The Newsroom"

I don't think it's fair to blame voters when it's the politician's job during s campaign to convince people they're worth voting for.

Adopting unpopular centrist policies and aligning more and more with centrist Biden's policies as the campaign went on is just going to fill voters with apathy.

The Democrats, once again, didn't give us a candidate to vote for, only one to vote against. And I think the American people are sick of that carrot-stick routine, the Dems need to actually adopt popular policies.

And the establishment Dems are going to fight that tooth and nail.
