I don’t disagree with the sentiment, but I think it’s more to do with them saying how great “the economy” is. They didn’t even try to appeal to the working class. They just told them they should be appreciative. They lost because they eschewed the left.
TBH they should have taken the dems and been appreciative, instead they’ve all signed up to get fucked over by a GOP tax plan AGAIN. Did you know 70 Million Americans relied on the Medicaid they froze funding for and are about to gut with the recent spending bill? 79,308,002 if you include CHIP too.
A Harris Tax Plan would have lowered working class taxes and gone after capital gains for the exorbitantly rich.
These are very well documented stances, everybody should have been aware of all of this. There is no excuse about the DNC’s message.
They’re not equal. You’ve also acquired such a hair trigger for “enlightened centrists” that you’ve started shooting the messenger.
The most important lesson of this last election? The laymen do not give a fuck about how the government functions, or the need to preserve the institution itself for further generations. Erosion of the rule of law? Loyalty tests? Pardoning insurrectionists? Absolutely off their radar.
They care about the hurt on their wallet, and the fact that the incumbent party is telling them “everything is fine”. Do they care that tariffs will put the squeeze on them even more? No, that requires a passing understanding of basic economics.
The larger voting body operates on the status quo. That’s it. If they dislike the status quo, they need an appealing explanation of why they should expect things to change under your stewardship. Controversies used to help swing an election, but we’re so saturated with excuses for outrage that a lot of it no longer registers on the radar.
Realistically we have a party representing stagnation, and a party representing volatility.
One party positions itself as “just left enough of center” to be stomached by its constituents, but frequently fucks it up because their policy positions can’t risk rocking the boat with its wealthiest donors.
The other party accelerates the country toward authoritarianism under the promise of sweeping changes.
That first bullet? Pretty fucking important. You seem to want them to win because they value the rule of law. Good on you, so do I. But that party is gonna continue to get black eyes because their priority is on the status quo of the party, not the status quo of their constituents. They consistently fuck it up every time they’re given a choice between the two.
Yeah, people should be appreciative of not being gutted. They can still be fucked, but they should just happily spread the legs. Never expect more than not being fucked at least.

The beatings continue until morals improve…
This is exactly the problem with the US oligarchy and how it filters candidates that are allowed to run for elections.
Yeah keep pretending both sides are equal while one side guts this nation like a pig. Helps you sleep at night, I bet.

If you think taxing the rich and removing money from politics is getting fucked, then you deserve every misfortune.
