Do you have a sauce for that claim?
Excrubulent
"We are legion."
You live in a different universe where talk matters more than actions and individual voters have more power than the systems and people that consistently screw them over.
That's not a gap I can bridge.
If all of the people who stayed home would have been kamala voters then it sounds like she failed to inspire them to vote. It sounds like she lost an election.
Yes, if an unprecedented, impossible turnout occurred then dems might've won, but that's not actually a strategy, that's fantasy. Assuming there isn't some level of divine intervention, then people are right that their vote doesn't matter, because this is the real world where we already know a plurality of people don't vote.
It's almost like voter disenfranchisement works.
I don't know why liberals can't get this basic concept: if electoralism is meaningful at all, then the electorate cannot be wrong.
If the electorate voted "wrong" then your democracy doesn't do what it claims to, it does not represent the people. <- this is actually the correct answer btw
Blaming the electorate achieves nothing.
The electorate didn't fail the dems, the dems failed the electorate.
It's hard to blame the people who stayed home when disenfranchisement is an intended feature of your electoral system. The vast majority of people know for a fact that their vote mathematically does not matter and a huge number cannot get time off on the weekday it is scheduled for.
If a full third of people stayed home, that's a systemic problem, not an individual responsibility problem. Your electoral system is completely captured by capital and you are stuck blaming the electorate.
Folks please: US corruption is not a cultural or personal issue, it is systemic. Power corrupts, not just people, but systems. The US has been at the head of the global hegemon for most of the last century, they have most of the billionaires, of course they are corrupt. That's where capitalists focus their efforts to get the most returns. It's not an accident that the guy doing DOGE just happened to be the richest man on the planet.
Maybe focus your energy there instead of on the people who have literally no power.
Iran getting nuclear weapons would be an immense boon to peace and stability in the Middle East.
I think you just put your finger on exactly why the US doesn't want that to ever happen.
That was me, actually, and I didn't run out, it is still valid. You are denying that we should criticise the dems for their genocide, and you haven't gone back on that. That is a kind of genocide denial.
Your entire point in calling me a pedophile was that you literally could not substantiate it. You were talking out of your ass. You were done with any sort of argument.
It's amazing that you don't see what that says about you, just like you don't seem to see what an absolute repudiation of the democrats it is to say that it is useless to accuse them of genocide because the choices in your "democracy" cannot exclude genocide.
And you wonder why so many people stayed home.
It was already turbo genocide, and the idea that what's happening now is somehow worse is just your fantasy.
I just want to point out that you've given up trying to make an argument and are now simply calling the other person a pedophile. That's about the biggest admission you can make that you have nothing to say.
At least you didn't spend that comment on genocide denial, so let's call it an improvement.
That's weak, doesn't explain anything, and I think I'm done giving oxygen to a genocide denier.
I think you think the electorate likes genocide, or at least you said so, so I don't understand why you think accusing Joe of genocide would have lost an election.
If the American people really didn't want genocide they would elect candidates in primaries that were anti genocide (they didn't) or they would vote for the candidate who wanted to just maintain the genocide as it is instead of accelerating it (they didn't).
people complaining about dems support of genocide while being silent about gop support (including "genocide Joe" chanters, 3rd party voters and non-voters), helped trump win and are responsible for the next 4 years of turbo genocide
This isn't hard to figure out, but I guess my brain isn't broken by genocide apologia so I maybe I can't understand.
This has a similar energy to, "Lend me a dollar, but give me fifty cents. Then I'll owe you fifty cents, and you'll owe me fifty cents, and we'll be even."
