Why do people keep saying Democrats. These were not Democrats. They were political apathetics who were so dumb they didn't see a difference between an existential threat to America, convicted felon, and pathological liar... And a woman with a clean record.
No actual Democrat gave up voting for Harris because of the obvious reach to Republicans who saw that existential threat.
They gave up because of disinformation silos and the economy, stupid
Remind me again when Biden had a supermajority in Congress?
Dick Cheney is 83. McConnell is 83. Kissinger was 100.
Evil old fucks are afraid of death for obvious reasons. They aim to live forever.
Then you've got the "Did Joe Biden step down?" crowd just completely oblivious lol.
In the aftermath the number of fuckwits I saw not voting or voting against their own interests has been insane.
Socialists sitting out because of Gaza.
Black women complaining Trump won but not voting.
Working class woman whose husband is in a union and he himself voted Harris; whose son is gay... Yep, she voted Trump.
I'm so tired of trying to drag along stupid people.
This fast-tracks us to a Russian level of oppression.
I truly cannot grasp how uninformed one has to be to claim to be for Palestinians but think helping Trump's odds was strategically better. Such profound ignorance is on par with maga, themselves.
On another note I want absolutely nothing to do with Mehdi Hasan. I supported him for quite some time but he got tunnel vision to such a degree he ended up thinking completely irrationally and contributing to the problem. He's venturing into Jill Stein territory for me.
This not to mention down-ballot congressional races.
Social Democrat, here. Harris wasn't even my 4th pick in 2020 primaries. That said, I campaigned like crazy for her and voted for her because of the very obvious reasons you mentioned.
My wife tried to reach out to one of her cousins who self-describes as a socialist and noted how important it was for his niece and her rights. He wouldn't even respond.
Alright, fuckers... You're going to learn really quickly just how much easier it is to smash a puzzle than put it back together.
My poor wife had the same experience this morning. I got up with her, hugged her, we talked for a few after seeing the news. 12 hour shift surrounded by trumpers and no outlet to vent.
To be fair, they should've voted Dem, but instead sat out against their own best interest.
The electorate is incredibly fucking stupid.
The strategy made sense to anyone with half a brain. It seems I overestimated the median American, though.
She's probably on AIPAC payroll. Can't upset America's boss.
Voting Democrat temporarily does not make you a Democrat no differently than Liz Cheney voting for Harris or the first-time low-propensity voter who thinks "they're all the same, but since covid impacted me I'm getting rid of the current guy." People just voted against Trump more than they were voting for Biden or his policies. They just wanted him out and to try something different purely because of covid.
This time around, those people just said, "Both Sides." And sat out. Presumably because they drank the Russian Kool-Aid and live in media silos.
That said, I misread the title and paragraph not referencing Democrat, but Democratic support, so my mistake.
