Kamala ran a horrible campaign. Blaming voters isnt the way
Oh god no. No no no no NO No, fuck that right off.
The voters ARE too blame.
I mean, yeah, I would agree with you if tRUMP had never been in office before AND was somewhat competent in his business dealings, or wasn't obviously in the pocket of putin.
However, that orange thing did a terrible job in his first term, just terrible. And anyone with even the slightest resemblance of intelligence could see he was only running again to stop the court cases, etc, and buy more time to keep him out of prison.
It really didn't/doesn't matter about her campaign when the person running against her is obviously:
Was wholly incompetent just a few years before.
Racist.
Said he was going to be a dictator from the first day.
Is a confirmed rapist. With loads of other assault cases behind him.
Best friend to Jeffery Epstein who they both said enjoyed "wonderful secrets" together...
Convicted criminal.
Numerous bankruptcies.
Numerous fines for dodgy shit (stealing from children's charities etc)
Russian money etc etc.
Quite obviously corrupt in just about every way. Etc etc etc etc etc.
These are the things off the top of my head, there's hundreds of other shit he's pulled.
So, YES, it was down to all the voters.
Yes, his voters are definitely to blame. But everyone who could vote but didn't, or protest voted have also enabled this shit to happen so they are to definitely, definitely to blame.
Any people who could have voted against him but didn't and are now trying to absolve themselves of any guilt then let me help you out. You won't, you can't. You are to blame.
The problem wasn't Kamala or Trump. That's something coming from decades ago. The real problem is a party system where one of the parties wants to go full throttle to the right and the other party just wants to go slower. That's a recipe for disaster. Imagine if the Dems had elected Sanders instead of Hillary on the primaries. Trump wouldn't had have a change in hell to be elected and the policies would have steered the country to the left.
He lost. He literally lost the popular vote for the primaries.
I respect the shit out of Sanders, but he isn't as popular as people on the internet like to think.
We can't keep saying "what if" regarding candidates that lost the popular vote during primaries. They were never starters.
Yes, completely agree that it has been coming for decades. The best time to fight it was decades ago. For this specific type of scum then the best time to fight it was in 2016.
But that didn't happen. What happened was the orange child rapist got in in 2016, and fucked things up.
Then was -very fucking slowly- convicted of numerous shit during bidens term. And was in the midst of the -also very late and slow- investigations for the stealing of top secret documents and treason stuff (plus other shit) when he said loads of stuff about being a dictator, and how he wouldn't need people votes again as things would be 'fixed' by them etc etc...AND people still decided to either vote for it, or not directly vote against it.
It's pretty simple. A vote that wasn't used specifically against this disgusting narcissistic tangerine toddler was a vote that enabled him to do what he is doing right now. If the non voters and protest voters had done the decent thing then almost none of this would've happened.
If the majority of people keep on voting for the most decent person then at some point things must get better.
It's the lesser evil strategy. And it doesn't work.
Doing nothing and then voting/enabling narcissistic, child raping, mushy brained, confirmed rapist dictators is far worse.
"Come to eat our tasteless food that stinks or you'll have to eat shit in the other restaurant" is not the best way to attract people to your cause. A lot of people stays at home if those are the options.
So carry on doing nothing then, how's that working out?
I'm from Spain. It could be much better and I hope it won't be worse. But at least there have left wing parties demanding the social democrats to lead to the left and the "vote us or else..." is losing power here.
There we go. The real experts on US Election strategy. None of them fucking live here.
From here it looks like the Democrats haven't either any expertise on the matter.
Would you prefer to have your foot stepped on or be tortured to death?
Americans fucking failed. If you think Kamala ran a horrible campaign, I direct your attention to the literal felon and literal rapist with two impeachments who said he had "concepts of plans" while telling people that Haitians were eating people's pets in Springfield and held rallies with his slogan of "TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING" displayed on banners hanging over the stage.
This wasn't a confusing election. This was the easiest election of our lifetimes and maybe the easiest in the history of this country.
Kamala didn't fail. Democrats didn't fail. The American people failed. Because the American people are, by and large, very dumb and easily manipulated by propaganda. Really, really dumb propaganda.
Maybe select a candidate next time so it wont be evil vs less evil? America is rotting
