A lack of accountability has been a recurring theme here. The orange man will take no accountability for attempting an insurrection, or for the hatred he encourages. Voters will not take accountability for electing a fascist.
Did she campaign? Did she run a good campaign? Did she go into the black barber shops, like Trump did? Did she go into the McDonald’s, like Trump did? Did she go out to meet the people, like Trump did?
She tried scaring people away from Trump and it didn’t work. They want an economy that’s doing better than this. They want jobs. They want their life to be better.
That’s how you win elections. You tell people you know how to make their lives better. You don’t tell them the other guy is going to make their life worse. That doesn’t win an election. It never has.
Do you see enough votes from any independent to get Kamala elected? Stop blaming the voters. She didn’t campaign.
when “the candidate who wants start a fresh, new genocide” wins the popular vote, it is the perfect time to blame the voters
And I don’t suppose it could be because people are not happy with joblessness and inflation?
I believe that’s a huge part of it, but it sucks that those people just want trump to print more money
And the cycle continues…

Nor will the legal system take responsibility for not doing anything about Trump before he pardoned himself.
Nor will the Democrats take any responsibility when Trump steamrolls over their constituents.
Democrats will take no responsibility for why they lost.
MFW I forget that people can choose not to vote at all

It gets downvotes, but it’s still not wrong.
The thing is that she shouldn’t have needed to campaign. Trump is a big enough piece of work that he shouldn’t have been an option in anyones mind.
Putins propaganda machine made him win. The guy didn’t even have a campaign program for fucks sake.
That’s never the case. You always need to campaign.
Not AGAINST something.
FOR something.
It is called democracy when you can’t force people to do what you want.
2 million registered PA voters did not vote.
How does that compare to past elections?
