True! One is an ocean of random people with their own beliefs, reasons and personal choices. The other is an institution. An organization with a plan. A plan they wrote themselves. A plan they get detailed statistics and polling data on. A plan in which they saw what they needed to do to win and chose not to, effectively betting on anti trump sentiment to keep them from doing the thing parties in their position are supposed to do. Concede to the people and make concessions. Instead they said "status quo, steady as she goes" mid genocide, mid rent crisis, post covid and they lost that bet. No one is to blame other than the gamblers who played power politics and lost to fascists.

The people are not an organized voting block able to strategically maneuver their votes. That's what a party is for. That's it's whole purpose. And the Democrats failed as a party in that election due to their inability to stop committing a genocide, to stop pandering to mid right voters via radio silence on trans issues and active abandonment of immigrants via the adoption of 2016 trump immigration policy.

I mean come the fuck on, she was talking about FINISHING THE FUCKING WALL, the thing we all agreed was the dumbest thing ever. What do you want when the party runs someone like that?

I get you people who wanna blame the leftist in your life or on the Internet you saw saying they wouldn't be voting. I get that you blame them. But you should blame the party who thought they could win without conceding anything whatsoever to any of the marginalized groups who had no other choice. They learned that there in fact was a 3rd choice and now we all suffer the Democrats incompetence

Hi. Former officer of the Texas department of criminal Justice. They train fear into you. This is the intended response. This is the optimal outcome. This is exactly what he was trained to do. Half of the training is watching videos of police officers not reacting quickly or violently enough and dying and being told "always act first and monopolize the violence in the situation". Once again, I am a former officer of the Texas department of criminal justice. This is my personal experience.

ACAB. Fuck the police. It bastardizes everyone. Including me.

What do you mean hysterical headline? He said exactly what the headline said. In the full context he looks stupider but what he said is the same.

Why are you trying to defend a guy saying the Nazis were gooder than Hamas? Why would you ever take that fight unless you are a liar or stupid?

Trump is a diva lightning rod. He lives on attention. As well by blaming him directly you indirectly absolve his surrounding Republican party. Meaning when trump dies or goes away, they can slot in JD vance and because trump ate all the complaints they will be given leeway to continue their fascism

Here's my point of view on the situation. I voted for the Dems as a lesser of two evils but I cannot fault those who couldn't bring themselves to do the same. In the end the Dems lost because they were more willing to risk a Donald Trump presidency than they were to stop actively committing a genocide. I blame them. I blame the party for being so willing to risk the election on an issue they knew was going to hurt because at the end of the day supporting that genocide was more important than any other outcome.

Why is it you blame random fucking people and not the party who had all that data, all that polling, all that info that continuing to support the genocide was hurting them and chose to plow forth anyways? You are blameing people who don't want to vote for a genocide instead of the people that threw the election to continue it?

Genuinely. Man to whatever gender you are, level with me here. Do you really see the Dems as having less responsibility for losing that election than the random faceless amalgamation of leftists who couldn't bring themselves to say yes to a genocide? Is that truly where you want to stand?

Once again. I voted for the Dems. I made that lesser evil judgement. I am saying it's the Dems fault for losing that election.

I somewhat agree, as I did in fact vote for the dems myself. Lesser of two evils is a valid arguement. However alot of these people are not making that arguement. And even as a lesser of two evil situation, i cannot fault those who's morals prevent them from choosing any evil, especially one as large as genocide. But once again, that is unfortunately not the conversation alot of people take this in, Instead I'm arguing with people who are talking about "fixing their own back yard first" or "saving their ship".

But at the end of the day, I cannot blame the people who didn't vote. I cannot find fault with people who morally could not bring themselves to make that lesser evil argument to themselves and instead, ultimately, the fault lies with the left most party refusing to drop their genocidal bloodlust and instead chose to stand on it and lost for it. They make the plans, they make the campaign, and they blew it. Case closed.

Complicated nuances of how to continue a genocide. Very adult. Much old. So old the brain rotted and turned grey and ghoulish

Violent doesn't mean dangerous. Just means violent. A cat is violent. A cat is not dangerous.

Personally, I voted for the lesser of two evils in Harris. But now that it's over I cannot blame anyone who couldn't bring themselves to debase their morals for their own personal salvation.

What I find so fucking frustrating is that now the Dems have been shown they cannot stand on genocide and still win and instead of that legendary pressure your talking about, instead we get people blaming Dems for being too woke and attacking anti genocide folks for not playing ball.

AT THE END OF THE FUCKING DAY, THE ONES COMMITTING GENOCIDE ARE TO BLAME. PERIOD. END OF STORY.

Violent fucker exposes his violence for the world to see.

No, your not bombing anyone. That's why it's so fucking weird how you are defending the people who are like your own fucking life depended on it. Do you get that?

Save our ship? How can you be like "oh yeah let's save our ship guys. Oh you want to stop firing the fucking cannons? No can do chief, we are too busy bailing this water out of the ship first".

NOT DOING A GENOCIDE IS STEP FUCKING ONE OF FIXING OUR SHIT. YOU CANT START FIXING YOUR SHIT WHEN YOU ARE COMMITTING A GENOCIDE.

Mf out here saying to keep the fucking Holocaust going while Nazi Germany reforms itself.
