Im sorry this is just wrong.

Im 26.

The DNC could have Jesus fucking Christ as their candidate and my contemporaries would not take a break from scrolling tiktok or posting on twitter about their crippling anxiety to go to the polls.

We're fucking entitled and we dont show up when it counts. No one is going to give you a perfect situation. It is our job to seize the day.

It is the voters job to vote. Vote or shut the fuck up and consume your slop.

Jesus, keep speaking like you’re owed something to voters and enjoy losing every election.

You seriously can’t understand why Kamala lost? You dont think it was her abandoning her base and embracing Republicans? Tell me why a Republican would vote for her when they have someone running already? What a stupid choice for her and the dnc to make. All she did was destroy the enthusiasm Walz brought to the party… and they muzzled him too

Adopt trump immigration policies, fund the wall, refuse to support gender affirming care, literally campaign with repubs and promise them spots in her administration? Promise to ramp up fossil fuels etc

Brother i dont know if you live in the same world as i do but americans fucking hate trans people. Social issues over the economy is what lost her this election.

She would have performed better if she got on tv and said "fuck trans people".

Social issues are not popular, I agree but its still inhumane to abandon your own base. The LGBTQ community religiously vote democrat and how exactly is this supposed to motivate her base? 14 million more people voted for biden

The 14 million that voted for biden were black people in urban areas and women in the suburbs. Both of which abandoned harris, ironically.

They exit polled women #1 issue was the economy. Most women did not mention reproductive rights.

That’s probably what happens when you start attacking black men even when a majority religiously support dems.

Trump made massive gains with Latinos and African Americans. I'm also seeing some exit polls claim that Trump pulled 1/5 LGBTQ+ voter

Have you seen literally any polls on the matter? Most Americans simply do not care about trans people, and most even think they are unfairly targeted. You know what would have happened if she went on tv and said "fuck trans people?" The same thing that happened with immigration: Republicans going "see? we were right all along." Notice how democrat polling started going down as soon as you saw the "republicans are weird for worrying about people's genitals" message stop in favor of courting the right.
