The Democrats, in the eyes of liberals, can only be failed, they cannot fail of their own accord. Now, more than ever, is a good time to start reading theory, as many liberals are disaffected by the US election. I wrote an introductory reading list for Marxism in case anyone wants one.
This wasn't the Democrats being failed, it was the whole country being failed. It wasn't about voting for the Democrats, it was about voting against Donald Trump, and there was only one way to effectively do that. Everyone who refused to do that got exactly what they voted for with Trump, whatever ends up happening, but rather than accepting that maybe this was the worst option, they're just posting memes about how everyone didn't push back against the democrats hard enough, so I doubt it'll sink in.
Do you think continuing the slide into fascism as Capitalism continues to decay is a good thing? If not, how do you plan on stopping it?
The fact of the matter is that the Democrats ran to the right of Biden in 2020 and committed fully to genocide. They lost the support they had, and they lost enough to lose the popular vote as well as electoral college. This was a massive failure, and if your plan was simply to vote Dem and hope for the best, then it's clear that your plan A failed. What's your plan B?
Hence why people didn't vote for Democrats. They had no reason.
and there was only one way to effectively do that.
Do you think it was about voting democrats. You just think they should be able to do literally whatever they want, including genocide.

More like they're posting about how the Democrats should have listened when we were posting the same things before ethe election, but you not only willfully ignored us, you distanced yourself. Now that it over and we were right, you're mad at the messenger.
Yup. I don't understand why people are talking like Harris isn't also pro-genocide. Obviously more Americans are going to die under Trump and that's a tragedy too, but why are people pretending the election was about Palestine?
Good thing never once has a common citizen ever voted on issues of diplomacy and international relations, otherwise some idiot who can't handle anything but a white ethnostate would be left in charge because of hand-wringing simpletons. Fuck off with the high and mighty act. Democrats aren't responsible for this, it's been happening for nearly a hundred years and you tools just found out about it and made it your whole personality. Fuck you for giving us Trump again.
The Democrats can only be failed, they can't fail, can they? If they lose, it's the fault of the masses, each individually, and not on the Party running the campaign and trying to connect to its base, is that right?
The fact of the matter is that Trump was more successful in getting his base to vote, and Harris went against her base by running to the right of Biden in 2020, despite polling telling her it would lead to electoral loss.
None of us individually made any difference, no matter who we voted, the ones with the ability to change the course of the election are the parties and candidates running for it.
IMO I think the common thread of democrats policies... is they keep thinking if they put one foot in both camps, that they will get both camps.
So, on Gaza... they took the stance of. "let the genocide continue, send the weapons, but also send sternly worded letters".
Result: The stand with isreal crowd hears "The democrats don't support isreal". The stop the genocide people, hear they are still supporting the genocide. Result, everyone hates their stance.
Hence why musks superpac sent 2 ads, one to jewish areas pretending to be the harris campaign saying "I stand with palestine", and an ad to the muslim populated areas saying "I stand with isreal".
Same on the border, instead of announcing how BS the "Migrant crime" claims are, or how bad for everyone mass deportation is, she just said "I tried to give you everything on the border, you stopped me".
Democrats did not put foots in both camps. Their foots were 100% in the israeli Genocide camp. 100% behind Netanyahu. The only reason for those letters was to pretend they did not violate Leahy law. By the end the clown circus called the state department meeting looked exactly like how a liberal describes CCP propaganda.
The Democrats are a business that sells policy to Capitalists, those Capitalists would rather the Dems lose than run left. Support for Israel is because it is a foothold for the US Empire and pressures into place the Petro-Dollar. It's all economic.
