    You’re basically telling me the Democrat’s strategy is, “Do what we say or we’ll become more like the fascists.”

    It’s not much different than all of you saying, “Do what we say or we will allow democracy to die. All because of a single issue in a country we didn’t know existed a year ago!”

    Oh and also, “Do as we say, or the LGBTQ, and women in America will suffer! We don’t really give a shit about the hardships they’ll now face because you didn’t cave in and do shit we don’t even understand!”

      Wow… So the constituents of a political party wanting their concerns and issues addressed and taken seriously, otherwise they just won’t vote for a party that doesn’t represent them…

      Is the same thing as the political party, who is supposed to represent the interests of their constituents, telling their constituents to tow the line or they’ll become more fascist.

      Constituents: We want our concerns addressed and progress made for the working people.

      Democrats: Support us unconditionally or we’ll just become more like the fascists to win their support, since our actions show winning is all that matters.

      You: These are literally the same argument, but the constituents are the wronger ones.

      All because of a single issue in a country we didn’t know existed a year ago!”

      This right here is what I’ve been pointing out for the last week: Democrats lose because the party is condescending, dismissive, and insulting to anyone who dares voice criticism. So those 100,000 protest votes organized by Muslim and Arab Americans, the same amount that Harris is currently losing Michigan by, yeah, that’s just a single issue voter who hasn’t even heard of Palestine until a year ago.

      How incredibly insulting to people you’re supposedly trying to win over while completely dismissing their concerns. Would you like to join the Palestinian speakers at the DNC on stage so you can insult them to their faces? Just kidding, the DNC chose to parade a bunch of Republicans across the stage rather than let a Palestinian speak.

      We don’t really give a shit

      The DNC to every progressive voter every voting day.

      about the hardships they’ll now face because you didn’t cave in and do shit we don’t even understand!”

      What shit were Democrat voters asking for that they didn’t understand? Seriously, I want you to explain that to me, because from my understanding:

      • They wanted positive climate initiatives, and two weeks into the campaign Harris went pro-fracking despite initially being anti-fracking.
      • They want the Palestinian genocide to stop, Biden has put no contingencies on weapons transfers to Israel, Harris signalled she only wanted to stop the war. Again, the DNC completely ignored the Arab/Muslim voices protesting this entire election
      • They want progress that is actually meaningful and impactful, not these half-assed decades-late measures like the $15/hr minimum wage (should he $26/hr now with inflation), or only expanding Medicare for specific services rather than Medicare4All
      • They want an economy that actually reflects their struggles instead of being fed the same metrics that only effect millionaires
      • They wanted a candidate they could see positive change in, and Harris returned to the typical Status-Quo Democrat playbook that keeps costing them elections

      Those don’t seem like things Americans don’t understand, maybe you and the Democratic leadership need to get off your high horses and maybe acknowledge that people want to see actionable change and not just election cycle after election cycle of excuses and empty promises.

      And just a reminder, Democrats had decades to enshrine Roe into law, and didn’t do so the few opportunities they had because it was more useful as a campaign device.

        Yeah… I’m not reading all of that. Enjoy your victory. You certainly earned it!

            Naaah… what’s a “shocker” is the bullet-pointed, multi-paragraphed copypasta manifesto you all predictably respond with anytime someone so much as suggests that you’re wrong.

              I’m flattered you think my writing is good enough for a copypasta 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

              I like how I’m providing context and thought, y’know, those things in your brain that make your head hurt, but I’m also the copypasta troll who can’t handle being told they’re wrong.

              That’s cute, you’re cute
