    why are y’all scared of taking responsibility for allowing a Nazi to gain power when you decided to not vote

    I voted for Kamala but I still blame the DNC

    the issue is two fold

    a) they played games with democracy, further accelerating the erosion of whatever little faith remains in our democracy institutions. there should have been a primary, not the underhanded switcharoo we got to witness where for the first time in US history since primaries were a thing… we had a presidential candidate nominated without a single vote

    b) while voters are struggling and going through a period of profound insecurity - not only financially but in a very real social sense - they offer more of the same. neoliberal status quo. people are desperate for change and the DNC offers them nothing.

    you blame the voters but you do not want to put an ounce of blame on the party that would rather lose an election than offer meaningful change

      and installing a Nazi regime that has, on record, stated they will never let go of control is the best answer y’all could come up with?

      how is any of that going to make the struggle BETTER?

      will unbridled fascism help calm the masses and stabilize the inequalities of the previous democracy?

      will it restore and protect the rights of Americans?

      I blame the DNC of being inept! I never fucking said they weren’t!

      I can still blame the electorate for allowing a fascist dictatorship to take hold in American government.

      Just because you call out a fault doesn’t absolve the other party, both are at fault here. I’m just disappointed that voters ignored all reason and decided to fuck all of us(including themselves), to spite us.

      btw, what kind of “meaningful change” can we expect now that sweet potato Hitler is in power?

        Voting for a Nazi won’t make things better, but when people are desperate they want change, any change. Weimar Germany was democratic, Hitler and the Nazi party legitimately won the popular vote.

        So the democrat deciding to run as the corporatist party again is the voters fault?

        Even running an unpopular campaign that was guaranteed to continue genocide and corporate profiteering, they lost to Trump with all his baggage.

        Maybe people care a lot less who a person is than what problems they say they will fix.

        I’d suggest you move to a blue state if you are really concerned, and I’ll see you in four years for the next election.
