Good thing they got rid of Genocide Joe to pave the way Death dealing Donny

Maybe the political party should have conformed to the pressure of the people who vote in its party. Just saying.

Coworker: "I hate trump, he should never be president!" Me: "So you're voting Harris?" Coworker: "I don't know if we're ready for a WoMaN president"

Asking for a friend, where is the nearest cliff? He would like to go jump off of it.

If only they'd put this much effort into getting one person to change her mind on the issue, instead of trying to get 10 million people to change their morals.

It appears especially ghoulish now after it came out that even her campaign's polling showed that it was a losing position.

Dem cheerleaders are blue maga. Nothing the Dems do are ever part of the problem; it's always someone else's fault.

It wasn't non-voters who forced the Dems and Biden to do the following:

  • For his first official act, Biden fought with his own party to prevent regular people from getting an already promised $600 check; completely ignoring the fact no one expected any PPP loans to be repaid.
  • Pulled a complete 180 on immigration, successfully building even more of the border wall and deporting more people than Trump.
  • Refusing to even entertain the idea of stopping Israel's genocide in Gaza, even at the known expense of voters.
  • Declared the Covid-19 pandemic over by simply no longer testing for it, despite it continuing to overwhelm hospitals and kill people, all so that people could be forced back into work.
  • Ripped pandemic era support away from citizens that was responsible for nearly eliminating childhood poverty and food insecurity; forcing people back into $7.25 an hour minimum wage jobs with no benefits.
  • Refused to do anything about the increasing violence and state hostility towards queer people, especially in red states.
  • Scolded to constituents for not giving Biden enough credit because they insisted the economy was great (but only for the wealthy.) They ignored that inflation (caused solely by corporate price gouging they refused to challenge) grew more than wages. Sure, wages began to outpace inflation, but total inflation since the start of the pandemic is still higher than wage growth in the same period.
  • Made student loan forgiveness a means-tested application process that they then sat on for two months, instead of immediately clearing balances and destroying documents, as if begging SCOTUS to block them.
  • Doing absolutely nothing to restrict the unchecked presidential powers they worked with the GOP to expand for the last several decades, even as the threat of a second, even more overtly fascist Trump administration became more and more likely.
  • Dicked around for 2 years not taking the prosecution against Trump seriously and making this entire ordeal a possibility in the first place.

This election was entirely the fault of the Democratic leadership. They failed. All blue maga does is try to deflect blame from them while they continue to screw all of us.

Democrats are mentally incapable of even considering the possibility that their losing to Trump two out of the three times they've ran the exact same campaign and candidate is their own responsibility. No, it must be the *checks notes* people who wanted them to be a little more critical of killing Arabs who are responsible. Wonder who you'll blame when Trump inevitably runs for a third term and you decide to copy/paste your campaign strategy and candidate because you've learned abso-fucking-lutely nothing. I'm betting "people who don't worship trillionaires enough", because we'll have some by then.
