From where I sit the Democratic party was so afraid of an actual changecandidate that they neglected to have a primary and foisted a milquetoast pro-LE candidate that didn’t do anything to reach their base and instead tried to court it’s opponents supporters. So, maybe they’re actually worse than Republicans, at least an R will tell you they hate you and want to take your rights.
An openly fascist rapist beat them, if that isn’t an indictment of them I don’t know what is.
The Democratic party lost, it’s now OK to point at them and say “what a bunch of out of touch rich fucks” and throw them to the wolves, they do not represent us and in that way, are exactly the same as the other side.
“They saw how dangerous the people actively working against democracy were and were *still unable to form a coherent argument against it or court the millions of people who were afraid of it.”
I’m not sure evil through incompetence is any different than willful evil. One smiles while they patronize you, the other doesnt.
Ah yes the absolute lowest bar for civic participation and they still couldn’t reach it meanwhile Republicans are winning schoolboards across the country.
I’m actually coming around to your side though, both sides aren’t the same, one of them is good at politics.
Lol you realize you’re proving my point? You think it’s a sign that the politicians did something wrong that people literally can’t be bothered to stop obvious and imminent fascism. Funnier still, you claimed they cared but not voting wasn’t something they could blamed for.
Of course voters should be expected to not care – it’s the Democrats job to make them — about the fire spreading in their homes. /s
You aren’t reachable. It’s beyond obvious that if people didn’t vote in this election, they’d literally never unless they specifically felt something about it was in it for them. You did say they cared but their show of apathy by not voting was justified, but it NEVER will be.

Except for the 10m people that voted for Biden in 2020 but sat this round out.

Where did I say that? There’s plenty of blame to go around and non-voters will receive their share but right now we’re talking about the rich ruling class who were unable to form any coherent argument or defense against an openly fascist, 34-time convicted, rapist. If that doesn’t show what they bring to the table then I don’t know what does.

“their strategy is shitty, so they’re actually worse than people who are actively working to end democracy”

Great point. Which is why we execute people who cause accidental deaths /s

Yeah, they really should’ve begged the people who care so much to show it by checks notes bothering to vote.

You don’t? You think politicians did their jobs? I think they’ve been asleep at the wheel for the last 4-5 decades.
I never said they cared, the opposite in fact.
