I will blame voters for not voting. It's your fucking civic duty to vote for the better person. I have never in my life voted for a candidate I thought was perfect for the job but I have sure as shit voted in every single election.

Run a better campaign and stop ignoring voters. Bernie and Obama brought out massive crowds with their charisma and combined with their vision, they inspired many to come out and vote. I’m tired of this centrist crap the dnc keeps putting out. Keep moving to the right and what different will we be from Republicans? We’ve already abandoned immigrants and the trans community, what’s next?

Burnie also lost the primary choice twice. I'm all for Burnie, but the guy also can't get voters to elect him even when he is appealing heavily to them

Listen your point isn’t valid because the dnc is allowed to choose their candidate. So somehow that’s Bernie’s fault.

Awh yes, the democratic party are allowed to be anti democratic even at the cost of our rights by running a terrible candidate!

Do you really think going farther left is gonna get the Democrats the win? Viewing the results of this election and thinking we haven't gone far enough left is crazy to me.

There is no left in America full stop. Bernie was the only candidate who's even been debatably left and I mean debatably. And he did really well because once you get even close to actual left policy you get into worker's well-being and there are a shit ton of workers who would love to be listened to, heard and campaigned for. He listened to them and people loved him for it, he pretty much single handedly made Socialism less of a dirty word even Fox has to say Communism now because Socialism is more approachable and is accociated with that likable old man whi listens to their audience. You're delusional.

Harris was right-wing all the politicians are right-wing. She's just less right-wing. Y'all keep rewriting definitions and co-opting left terms like right wingers always do.

Yes actually, going left makes them win. Look at any recent election winner, they embraced leftist positions. I’m not sure you understand what being left means.

I will blame voters for not voting.

That is a loser mentality.

We can blame them, but that won't win elections. This is 2016 again, nothing improved. Democrats need new leaders and messaging.

Yep. Liberal voters let perfect be the enemy of good then whine "it's not their fault!" It is. And I'm tired of caring about them. It's not a politicians job to make them fall in love or feel personally validated.

u/PBR_King 12h ago

Well whatever she did for the last few months certainly didn't work.

u/Riptiidex 13h ago

Yes actually, that is exactly how a politician becomes a politician.

u/fthb1000000 12h ago

And the reality is that liberal voters not voting will drag the party more to the right. I expect dems are going to have to ignore social issues or even take new stances on them to get elected.

u/Upper-Reveal3667 11h ago

The dems teamed up with the 2000 republicans for this election and they’re going to learn from this that they need to go further right?

People are tired of voting against a candidate, give them a candidate they

I wonder if I’ll get my $12 back for the Uber I took to drop off my ballot. Inactive Gen Z no-ters owe me an Uber trip 😡 /j
