    If you’re not from here, then you’re not who I’m talking about and are just here to play contrarian.

    I don’t entertain contrarians.

      It’s not contrarianism. If the best argument for voting Democrat was “they’re not Donald Trump” then they fucked up as a political party running a presidential campaign. Blame your horribly shitty Democratic party for being unelectable, not the people who weren’t convinced they should support them.

      The Democrats made a conscious, politically-motivated choice to pretend that Americans are not financially suffering to any significant degree (patently absurd), to parade around billionaires and buddy up with a Cheney of all people, to ooh rah about guns, the border, and the military, and to silence and shut out the voices of victims of genocide and their supporters while praising and platforming people who represent those committing said genocide. Gee, I wonder why they lost??? It’s a total mystery.

      The Democrats designed their campaign around reaching out to right wing voters, most of whom were always going to vote Republican because they always vote Republican, no matter whose name is on the card, and basically just told the left to go fuck themselves but to vote for them anyways.

      The Democrats are a joke and they have nobody to blame for their loss but themselves. But that’s not what Dem aligned mainstream media tells you, right? No, according to them you can never blame the rich and powerful people who failed to gain the support they needed to win. No it’s always the fault of other, regular people. Especially if they’re on the LEFT!!! No don’t blame the rich and powerful! Never blame the rich and powerful! Just blame the people screaming for a political party to actually represent them.

      I fucking wish US politics didn’t affect the rest of the world and they didn’t take up 99% of the discourse online, but sadly that’s the state of affairs, go to a general purpose instance like lemm.ee or like reddthat.com, browse by all federated instances, and tell me how many of the posts are about US politics.

      Ending conversations with people because they’re not from your country, when your country projects its power and its politics outwards overwhelmingly, isn’t productive

        I’m ending the conversation because my entire point is about VOTERS. you’re not a fucking voter.

        Take your contrarian bullshit elsewhere.
