    The Democrats, in the eyes of liberals, can only be failed, they cannot fail of their own accord. Now, more than ever, is a good time to start reading theory, as many liberals are disaffected by the US election. I wrote an introductory reading list for Marxism in case anyone wants one.

      This wasn’t the Democrats being failed, it was the whole country being failed. It wasn’t about voting for the Democrats, it was about voting against Donald Trump, and there was only one way to effectively do that. Everyone who refused to do that got exactly what they voted for with Trump, whatever ends up happening, but rather than accepting that maybe this was the worst option, they’re just posting memes about how everyone didn’t push back against the democrats hard enough, so I doubt it’ll sink in.

        Do you think continuing the slide into fascism as Capitalism continues to decay is a good thing? If not, how do you plan on stopping it?

        The fact of the matter is that the Democrats ran to the right of Biden in 2020 and committed fully to genocide. They lost the support they had, and they lost enough to lose the popular vote as well as electoral college. This was a massive failure, and if your plan was simply to vote Dem and hope for the best, then it’s clear that your plan A failed. What’s your plan B?

    Where are we today in the 6 stages of grief? It’s six because acceptance doesn’t exist and at stage 6 the process starts over at stage 1.

      You’re right that’s why Democrats need to support Genocide to win the election.

      The Democrats can only be failed, they can’t fail, can they? If they lose, it’s the fault of the masses, each individually, and not on the Party running the campaign and trying to connect to its base, is that right?

      The fact of the matter is that Trump was more successful in getting his base to vote, and Harris went against her base by running to the right of Biden in 2020, despite polling telling her it would lead to electoral loss.

      None of us individually made any difference, no matter who we voted, the ones with the ability to change the course of the election are the parties and candidates running for it.
