They were running against a batshit insane senile cheeto and couldn’t win the election anyway. They refused to go left, they collaborate with devils like the cheneys and when we pointed out the writing on the wall, we were met with “russian disinformation farms” and “tankies” for having a fucking brain and seeing that moving right will not make racist sexist republicans vote for a black woman. And lo and behold, 94% of republicans voted for trump, FUCKING OBVIOUSLY. The only fucking reason Kamala didn’t run on being progressive was because at the end of the day, there’s no “lesser evil,” and we’ve all been saying this for fucking ever, the democrats are genocidal capitalist ghouls, and they will support america’s interests no matter how much blood is spilled and no matter how many people get stomped on by bigots controlling the white house, the senate, the supreme court (which the democrats just let get stocked with republicans) and probably the house too. And they don’t care. “Just give us money and make sure to vote blue next election” before they slink off into the darkness and begin their political pickpocketing two years from now. FUCK, now queer and genderqueer and bipoc people in america have to live with the republicans doing whatever they want for the next four years because GOD FORBID THE DEMOCRATS LISTEN TO A SINGLE FUCKING HING THEIR CONSTITUENTS SAY INSTEAD OF PLUGGING THEIR EARS AND SCREAMING “VOTE!”

i hate it here. every one of you redditors that posted shit like “i’m on the right side of history” while you refuse to leverage your one single fucking scrap of political power in this shitty dictatorship. fuck lemmy.world, fuck reddit, fuck libs for soypogging for kamala’s campaign and not using their eyes to see that there’s no difference in the end, the ghouls are ghouls.

    I think we need to start considering they DNC threw the race. Like, they wanted trump to win for reasons and by acting like they are incompetent we are missing the bigger picture. I haven’t quite figured the shape of it. I know they originally supported trump and those like him. They claimed they thought it would be easier for them to beat them. I think maybe this is the donors just creating an excuse to shift the Overton window right and get tax cuts and the like

      I said it months ago here: establishment Dems love to lose. They still have all their power and privilege, none of the responsibilities, the GOP can make everything even more cushy and privileged for establishment like them, and they get to complain and blame everything on the GOP even while reaping the benefits.

      Literally there are no downsides to establishment Dems losing to the GOP.

      Idk, maybe it’s possible from the super higher ups who decide the overall strategy, but I know the on-the-ground people tried their hardest. I know a couple Dem organizers and I feel so bad for them, they put their all into this campaign. I don’t think they’re able to be radicalized (they’re not like Mayor Pete here on hexbear, doing it for a job, they’re dyed in the wool libs), but if they are, I’m going to wait awhile before offering my opinions. They’re in a bad way right now and just likely to lash out until some time passes and the emotions calm down.

      I find it easier to believe that they thought they could go right and get more people put off by Trump’s rudeness. They saw Biden’s victory in 2020 and Dem victories in 2022 and thought that was the right strategy to win. And seeing the US right now, I get it. Turns out, it’s a super racist place begging for fascism.
