At the moment they have the White House and the Senate. If the House of reps goes for Republicans they will have all 3 and everyone will still blame the Democrats. That’s the part that frustrates me even more.
I definitely blame the democrats. They’re the ones that have put Trump in the White House twice. I’m not talking of ‘letting it happen’, the dnc have actively done everything in their hands to make him president both times.
Edit: If you can’t, or don’t want to see it I’m not gonna try to convince you. This meme over here speaks volumes by itself– the dems not just can’t reach the blue collar workers, who should be their main demographics, they’ve alienated, and even antagonized them to the point that many voted for Trump (I’m not saying this is a sane reaction! But people would grasp to straws). So yeah the ‘insufferable tubs of shit’ are the working people not the billionaire owners of the party.
The DNC sucks but they’re not the ones voting for Trump. This is what America wants. Stop deflecting and deal with the reality that this is who we are.
Such as?
Do explain, do give sources and explain all that shit you just claimed.
Which parts exactly? The dnc decided not to do a real primary and run a deeply unpopular president. It obviously exploded leaving them with nothing. They then tagged the vice president as the only option, despite her being the least popular candidate the last time a real primary happened.
They were the party actively suppressing democracy while accusing their opponent of being against democracy.
They haven’t done any outreach to the working class in decades. They just count on unions unconditional support, just like the minority vote. Trump made massive gains in those areas.
They ran in the economy being just fine when is was apparent the 20% cumulative inflation fucked everyone that wasn’t rich or able to job hop several times in the last few years.
As an ex construction worker myself I’m gonna have to disagree with you on the “alienating” part. A massive portion of nonunion blue collar laborers are more interested in finding new people to hate or blame for their shitty lives (witch theyr proud of for some reason) rather than take responsibility for their actions.
I might also add that since these kind of laborers are basically all still stuck in highschool mentally (if even that Intelligent) they have tend to mob up and berate any non aggressive talking points into the dirt. The owners love this kinda shit, cuz it prevents unionizing anD usually back the worst of them.
The DNC isn’t to blame for shit like that, these folks were raised to hate thinking and reading. The problem is cultural.
I ain’t sayin you wrong. But I’m definitely not sayin you right without you providing proof
The only solace I have in this is knowing they’re going to suffer in the same shithole as us. They made this bed and we’re stuck in it, but at least their happiness will be short lived…
I hate people so much.
No, because everything that goes wrong will be the fault of the “deep state” ☠️
Am i missing a reference? Why construction workers?
Because they listen to Joe Rogan?
I dont understand. Are you joking?
Yes and no. It’s kind of a stereotype that construction workers and other tradesmen tend to lean conservative. Working class men such as construction workers make up much Joe Rogan’s audience. Joe Rogan endorsed Trump
Okay, im not trying to shoot the messenger, but that is fucking dumb. Trying to make connections where they dont belong is a problem with lemmy.
In before: THEY’RE HURTING THE WRONG PEOPLE comments.
The loudest voices have the smallest thoughts
That’s rather racist. Understand?
Nobody is born with a hi-vis vest.
Whilst all my construction colleagues are a different breed we’re not a different race.
Construction People originally come from the Cøncrête Peninsula.
Thank you. I always wondered where my people were from originally.
It’s always important to stay in touch with your heritage.
You want to say “breedist” then? Doesn’t exactly roll of the tongue.
I’m confused. The only way I can see this as racist is if all construction workers are a different ethnicity to the native population of where they work. Maybe in Qatar, yeah.
I understand. Plumber master race!
