Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

Stop blaming the voters, this is all the Democrats' fault.
They made it clear they were not going to stop them and all anyone was doing was putting their neck out to be later chopped off.
They already knew being better than the other guy was not enough to win elections yet they kept the same strategy of being more sold out and more worthless every election, offered no reform, offered no fight against anybody screwing us, and ran as the status quo against a Republican party running as reform, knowing full well the voters do not know any better.
And here you are parroting The Establishment Democrats' bullshit to justify staying in power to fail us again in perhaps our last chance to take the country back in 2028 during the succession fight before elections are fixed completely.
Ah personal attacks. Reported and moving on.
You have refused to even read the other poster's response. And you are wrong. Edit - but it doesn't matter, Americans are past reason.
This is an unreasonable take and I am going to fight you for it! Source: I am American
Buh? How have I refused?
You are passing the buck, not taking responsibility for trusting The Establishment Democrats knew what they were doing, despite them not knowing what they were doing. Doomed to fail strategy and you are blaming the voters for not continually supporting a worthless Democratic party constitutionally opposed to stopping the republicans, even after a direct attempt to kill the Republic in all but name.
No matter how little esteem we afford the American electorate, they always are worse.
The full court press in 2020 led to nothing. It was clear to everybody the Republicans were going to when in 2021. Because of your Democrats you still allowed to run the opposition.
They’re not blaming them, just outlining that this is, in fact, what they voted for.
You think you voted against the current administration? Because there was no world where these Democrats were going to stop the fascists for more than 4 years.
You’re right, it’s better that fascism happened sooner. Fascist accelerationism was definitely the better option. Enjoy what you voted for.
The Democrats had four years to stop fascism and they did absolutely nothing. What was four more years supposed to do?
I already admitted defeat, it’s a good thing that fascist accelerationism happened, we are definitely in the current best case scenario, there is no way we could have done better. I’m glad you got what you wanted and voted for, fascism destroying america is a good outcome, the best outcome. You’re so right. You’re so fucking right.
Why don't you answer my question instead of attacking a strawman? What were Democrats going to do? Their leadership is 100% complicit in this, they were never going to do anything. The best case scenario comes from We the People, not the fucking Democrats. You're looking at one head of the hydra and hoping that it saves you from the other head.
No, no, you’re right, I’m not arguing, outright fascism was the best possible solution, we’re in the best timeline. I’m glad you people voted for this. The democrats wouldn’t have stopped the genocide in Gaza outright and ended Israel entirely overnight and turned america into a socialist dreamscape, so homeland theocratic fascism on top of accelerating the goals of Israel is so much better. The lesser evil is, after all, still evil, so it’s better to just fill the glass, right? You’re glad the democrats lost, I get it, you’re entirely justified.
Idk what the fuck you're on about mate. You're like that mentally ill dude wandering down the side of the highway rambling to himself. None of that has anything to do with anything I said. Seek help bro. I wish you well.
Sure.
And the answer to what would the democrats do: We have no idea, they’re not in power, but I can easily say not this.
First of all it is an ad hominem to assume that I did not vote. Second of all, voting changed nothing, the Democrats refuse to be popular enough to stop the republicans, and refused to enforce the law against the Republicans.
Whatever you gotta’ tell yourself, buddy.
You are passing the buck, refusing to take responsibility for believing The Establishment knew what they were doing.
Lmao you just took the word blame out of your last message as if that changes anything. Lol.
If you want: Who's ~~blaming~~ passing the buck? I am informing protest-non-voters what they voted for.
