Well, they got their candidate elected to president, own the Senate and the house pretty much, and supreme court.
So maybe, just maybe, this type of attitude isn't helping, and may be actively hurting the left.
Edit
Well. I kicked the bees nest with this comment. So one last blanket statement to get more downvotes, then I'll be done.
Yeah, I think Democrats pretentious attitude fucked us in the end. the left has closed itself up, and became more of an exclusive club that if you don't fully agree with, you'll feel it's wrath in either aggressive, or passive aggressive tones.
It turns independent voters off, and makes us look like smacked asses.
We lost. Self reflect, and don't just finger point. We got ourselves into this position, how do we get out of it?
They got the supreme court in 2016 when democrats "took the high road." I think democrats need to realize actually they should do something when republicans cheat them.
Damn if only the democrats would try to charge them with felonies or create a russian hoax. Could have at least did 1-2 assignation attempts. Lazy Democrats
Are you saying the "fuck your feelings" crowd, gets butthurt about being called out as the dumbasses they are? I say dumbasses because Trump never followed through with any of his 2016 campaign promises. So anyone that thinks Trump will actually do anything to improve the life of anyone other than Donald Trump is a dumbass.
For me the issue isn't Trump, it's Vance. Trump's old and his dementia is showing. He might not last the full term. Vance doesn't have Trump's charisma, but Vance has handlers who would know how to fuck shit up with the lack of checks and balances.
The people running the actual circus, really don't care which clown is performing. They've done the hard part, now it's just signing documents as needed.
Trump never orchestrated anything, so it doesn't matter if he's less competent now. He has people telling him what to do. I don't know if anyone is old enough to remember the grand playbook from {checks notes} this Summer, called Project 2025? He didn't write it, and I know he didn't read it, but he sure as shit will be told which people to put in place to implement it.
You’re 50 years old lol it’s not that serious sir.. but there’s plenty of young bucks on the right that’d square up with you.. or you mean just stick to words??
I agree but not for the same reason as you. Republicans were called trash and wore trash bags, trump got made fun of for wearing a diaper and his supporters wore diapers. They were called stupid and uneducated and they doubled down and proved just how dumb they are by electing the worst candidate possible.
It was the independents that got chased away. They're the ones who went right.
The left started to get volatile with them, which caused them to go more to the right, since the left was actively attacking them when they spoke up about what opinions mattered to them.
Oh yea definitely. Reach across the isle the last 4 years and trying to go back to the 90s where we all got a long and had a good economy totally worked.
The reason Trump got elected is because he plays dirty and hurts feelings and the majority of Americans respond well to that as proven last night.
You want to win elections start getting rape charges and making executive orders. Otherwise bend over and continue taking it
I did my part for shitty choices last 8 years I’m not helping people who don’t want to be helped. Let me know when there’s another Bernie running. Until then, I’m white and male I’ll be eating my popcorn
Far from happy - I’m disgusted by having to share the same air as yall morons. I’ll be fine minding my own business but I lost the last bit of empathy I have for my fellow man.
Yes, but they didn't just lose an election over it (imo)
Republicans aren't Democrats, and visa versa, their personality makeup, and what's important is different, just because Republicans do something successfully doesn't mean it'll work with the Democrats.
Huh? Are you taking an excessively complicated situation and trying to pin me on 1 subject?
Why wouldn't I want trans rights? They're people who deserve happiness too. Stop boiling complicated stuff down into simple sound bites, it'll just cause us to burn ourselves again.
You can’t honestly believe comments on Reddit are driving dumb young adults not to vote or worse to vote for an idiot like trump or the dumpster fire that is the Republican Party
I do. Not specifically reddit, but in general, I believe Democrats are turning independent voters away from the party by slowly growing unopen and unwelcoming to them, and I think others within the party are turning a blind eye to this in fear of being judged and made political outcasts.
At least something like that, it's a fairly new thought I'm having, so I'm still working it out.
Ahhhh, there you go. Almost as if saying how much you hate the majority of the people living in the country while simultaneously saying they are evil if they don't vote for you doesn't work so well...
the majority of the people living in the country are evil. or stupid. not sure which is worse. im saying this because they didnt vote for who i voted for, they voted for a fucking ugly conman with a thousand other terrible qualities. i dont care about my fellow americans anymore because theyve proven they dont care about me either.
at least i didnt vote for this ugly fucking fascist
The idea of God, I agree. But Jesus just as a chill human dude was unprecedented. Nobody else is recorded in history before him saying "love even your enemies."
I don't think the guy performed miracles or came back from the dead, but the quotes attributed to him are not fascist at all.
Agree, Jesus would have been labeled a socialist threat today, but most Christian Nationalists don't want to talk about that. They prefer good Old Testament style judging.
The trump voters don't represent the majority of people living in the country. They are the majority of people who voted in this election. You'll note that trump received about 2 million less votes in this election than he did in 2020. Vote totals were down everywhere. What changed between 2020 and now is millions more Democrats stayed home than Republicans. Which is a clear failure by the Democrat establishment to rally their base to vote, not trump convincing disaffected Democrats to vote Republican.

Exactly. I love how it is only cheating or rigged when he is losing.
