    Well i guess the 130ish Million people who voted for more genocide got what they wanted.

    And we warned this would happen.

    Because the pro Israel people had a safe vote with Trump. Harris trying not to take a strong stance, while further enabling the genocide tough, alienated people.

    Now the silver lining is that Democrats have a chance to learn, that being against genocide is the only stance a supposedly progressive party can take. But they rather risked and chose to loose the election instead of being steadfast against genocide.

    But you can already see here how people are blaming black and Arab voters. The white supremacy runs deep in both parties, so the idea that anything would have changed under Harris is laughable.

      The Democrats having the chance to learn is going to be of limited use of Republicans build the fascist autocracy they intend to build.

        Either you elect a party that wants to do that, or every time elect the other party that is not very democratic inside itself, despite the name. Both seem like autocracy to me.

        Unfortunately they chose not to learn during the past 8 years.

        They repeated most of the errors they did in 2016, while Trump just did Trump again. That is also why i say the blame lies with the party leaders. This was preventable with setting the right priorities.

            • Unsympathetic candidate from the depths of the establishment.
            • Focusing on virtue signaling “how can you not want a women? And now she is asian and black too!” instead of real life improvements for the affected demographics. Especially after 8 years of Obama have shown that a black president doesn’t mean much in that regard.
            • Focusing on who they are not, instead of focusing who they are.
            • Not opening up for a full primary, instead pushing the establishment candidate through.
            • Not addressing peoples economic concerns and offering a progressive solution for that, instead sucking up to the billionaire donors
            • Having a candidate that is currently involved in a war/genocide or advocating for more of it (Hillary)
            • Establishing a culture of looking down on “stupid” or “backwards” rural and rust belt voters
            • Sending contradictory in or mixed messages on various issues, depending on who they address/what the latest poll said to be important
            • Sending a message of a sure election in their bubbles, demotivating some of their usual voters.
            • Focusing on endorsements by high profile celebrities, further giving the image of a party of elites, rather than for the normal people.

            Those were the bunch that came to my mind and what i remember seeing in various election streams.
