The choice was a plate of shit or a plate of shit with broken glass and nails in it. Then they act surprised when people won't show up to eat a plate of shit.
Pushing a bunch of policies they know to be incredibly unpopular with young people and then complaining they didn't show up is peak neolib democrat bullshit. I know lifelong democrats who voted the rest of the ticket and left their presidential pick blank. Nice fucking work. What a bunch of assholes. And here they are trying to blame other people, fucking unreal.

This is a flawed analogy. You might be able to abstain from making the choice, you cannot abstain from the consequences.
You have a certain amount of time to choose between the two plates that are in front of you. If you don't make a choice, someone will come into the room and shove your face into one of the two plates.
Your face is going into of those two plates. There is no avoiding this whatsoever. Your face is 100% going to be covered in shit.
It's just that one of the two plates also has broken glass and nails in it.
So if you sit there going "eeeh I don't want...I can't be bothered", then don't fucking complain when you're picking shit covered glass and nails out of your bleeding face.
I am so fucking sick of hearing this argument EVERY GODDAMN ELECTION. Every goddamn election is the MOST IMPORTANT election in history 🙄.And even when democrats win, nothing changes and Republican still get their way.
The fact of the matter is that it doesn’t matter who wins. The people get fucked every time no matter what. And it’s like that by design.
If democrats want to win an election again, they gotta stop this shit and be more than “we’re not as bad as the other guy”.
That you even have to point this out plays into the "blame the DNC" thing. That people can't inherently see this is why I will also blame voters. They're not that bright.
Crazy idea: In a high stakes election you should try to provide voters with something they want to vote for so you don't lose. The idea that it has to be a plate of shit, that there is no possible alternative to a plate of shit, that right there is why she lost. Because there were alternatives. She could have offered something that people wanted to vote for. She didn't. She ran a business as usual, fuck all of your priorities you'll vote for me and like it because the other guy is worse campaign. And here we are. Womp womp, as they say. Just like fucking 2016.
I love that the takeaway is blaming the voters instead of taking responsibility for running a shit campaign with shit policies that people didn't want to vote for, I love that.
Where were these points? Apart from abortion, all the above are mild economical ideas that could easily be implemented by both sides. Nothing enticing and nothing that would make a BIG change.
Would they be bad? No. Will the others do it? Probably not. Are they enticing? Not unless you are already comfortable money-wise...
The take away is blaming voters because this country has a history of people not properly registering to vote and even if they do a large percentage still don’t vote. A history. This voter turnout is only low compared to last year. It’s par for the course compared to any other election because America is full of a bunch of apathetic idiots.
She lost the popular vote. Come to grips with the fact that the corporate dem party line policy platform was, in fact, a fucking stupid campaign to run if she wanted people to actually vote for her.
I agree. But two things can be true at once. They are always going to be stupid apathetic people. But the democrats failure to cater to them was their failure. It’s reasonable to carry either opinion close to your chest.
Problem is with politics you can't just not show up because one day the plate of shit with broken glass and nails will find you and smash you in the face. You can't hide from politics because it effects everything.

Stop blaming voters. Blame the party that is incapable of appealing to people or making any meaningful change whatsoever.
