    But also blame the DNC for running a de-energizing campaign yet again.

      People who weren’t energized enough by the perspective of Trump don’t count as citizens anyway. I don’t know what type of energy you personally wanted, but nothing will work on those who saw Trump’s shitshow and decided to sit this one out because Kamala didn’t dance enough or whatever

        I think people were more tired because Kamala was dancing too much. As in, she and Biden were just there for show and didn’t really accomplish much. I did vote for her, but it wasn’t because of anything they did.

          It might be because you didn’t pay attention to what the administration actually did. There is a problem that US citizens fundamentally don’t know what the president can or can’t do and what the processes are.

            My main concern always has been and always will be Climate Change. His BBB program was never going to address that in a serious way.

            It would have been nice to have more efforts reuniting those separated families that happened during Trump.

            For me, the economy comes in way behind those issues.

              I recently looked specifically for info on the separated kids, and all I could quickly find was an article saying the Biden administration had re-united several hundred families, but without any estimate of how many remained probably -permanently separated. Do you know a source for actual numbers on this?

      Maybe the fact that people need to be “energized” in order to fucking vote is the problem?

      Like I’m sorry, but “you just didn’t energize me enough” is not a valid excuse for anyone not to vote, ever. Just goes to show the depth of the average American voter. Just completely devoid of critical thought.

        I’m so sick of authoritarian pricks pretending they get to decide what is and is not valid in our system. People not voting is valid and the DNC failed to get them to change their mind

        Stop huffing copium and deal with reality

          My favorite is the old standby, “If you don’t vote, you have no right to complain.”

        The DNC has more power and resources to do something about it then I do. I can chew out individual people I meet, but I don’t really have the logistical rouses to go around telling 160 million people that Trump would be worse.

        And yes, the American voter lacks critical thought. It’s something that takes a back seat to sports or job training in public education.
