El_Dustino posted... The democrats share at least equal blame. It's literally their job to get people to vote for them, and they did a shitty job. You all really need to STFU with this bullshit. As it has been said many times, we had TWO choices. And with one of those choices, the 8 years of writing was all over the wall on why voting for them would be bad. There was no need to "get people to vote for Democrats" knowing that. Yet if after all that, they still needed "convincing" on who to vote for, then they were gonna vote for Trump (or not vote) in the first place. Why? Because those people are just that damn stupid. And for people like you to continuously defend their stupidity, doesn't really make you look any better. So let's just cut the crap already on how it's the Democrats fault that voters got stupid.

It sits alongside her stated desire to have a Republican in her cabinet, among other things. i notice your still not listing things kamala could have actually done to combat the propaganda against her Still? No one has asked me. That was my first post in the thread. The Democrats have an army of staffers and hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign funds. It is their job, literally, to find a way to counter propaganda. Whether I know how to do it is irrelevant.

But, I guess people want to have shitty lives and be miserable. Lose everything and cry why did this happen later. This is what drives my fury at voters above all else. Trump has always been garbage, since well before he entered politics. He was openly dumb and mean and incompetent and corrupt and a bigot well before 2016. But even if you ignore all that-you have a terrible first term as a recent example! Lied constantly. Golfed constantly. Impeached. Using the office for obvious self-enrichment. Botched the handling of a pandemic that killed thousands. And on and on. Oh yeah, and at the end of it tried to overthrow the government and then whined and lied about it for four fucking years. And at the end of all that, non-cult voters were like: I definitely want to see more of this shit. What the hell? I was sure Harris would win because I thought Trump had a ceiling for his support outside the cult because he Is so clearly, ridiculously unfit to do any job. I was very wrong.
