So you don't think that they're in any way responsible for losing? In your opinion they ran the best candidate and campaign they could have and simply lost to a better opponent?



do you think he legitimately won?

He's the sitting president and the former precedent for "legitimacy" got flushed 8 years ago. He lost in 2020 and attempted to prevent the peaceful transition of power. Democrats had 4 years to prepare for this election and any slimy shit Trump might pull and look at how they chose to run their campaign.

If he illegitimately won the Democrats did nothing to stop it and have done nothing to make it right.

Bunch of excuses and bullshit being thrown at Democrats while the Republicans tumble down the fascist rabbit hole they’ve been digging into for the last 10 years.
I am not the Democratic Party. Stop acting like I am so you can throw all of your anger you have for them at me.
I didn’t choose who they ran.
I’m certainly not going to refuse to vote because neither side has anything to offer and I’m just going to complain about everything.

That’s fucking useless. I voted Democrat because I didn’t want whats happening now to transpire.

To anyone in this thread that did not vote democratic. You voted for what is happening right now, and you deserve the responsibility of it. The Democrats did not do this to you. You did by not trying to prevent it.

Interesting logic here.

You are not responsible for the actions of the party you voted for.

I am responsible for the actions of the party I didn’t vote for.


Mhm.

They ran a 8 year long campaign about Trump being a foreign agent who would destroy democracy and usher in fascism, and their response to him regaining power has been “well what do you want US to do about it?!”

And folks wonder why the voter base has apathy.

“Our opponent will end DEMOCRACY! Oh he won? Welp we’ll get him next cycle!”

In what world is this a salient argument?

not enable the right would be nice.

the dems act like they are going to win some kind of contest by staying in this dysfunctional relationship.

the right hates the left and think democrats are the devil. you are not going to have a nice dinner with these people.

breaking something would also help. like anything? nope lets run a soccer mom and an old lady against 1000s of years of old guard male hierarchy.

my answer would be to run better candidates.

dem leadership should start getting arrested for not so peaceful protesting.

maybe someone on live tv should tell trump to go fuck himself.

nah corey booker ranted for 25hrs and nobody knew about it until he was done.

The damage is done but they could have made better moves leading up to the election.

I think that they should have been honest about Biden's cognitive decline from the get go because he was 78 when he got elected and it was obvious what was happening. If they had done that they could have had a real primary and the Democratic candidate could have had the positive optics of being chosen by the constituents. Instead they unilaterally chose to push Kamala out as the candidate which was strategically idiotic.

Democrats want to be right more than they want to win. America doesn't want a female president. Righteous pseudo intellectual smarminess will never win over good old fashioned populism.

If they got out of their own way he wouldn't have even won in 2016.

I think he means that they should have done something other than performative opposition that is strictly symbolic in nature and does little or nothing to actually oppose the fascist agenda.  Of course, that would have perhaps angered the donor class whose interests  "both" parties are beholden to so that wasn't ever going to happen.  Its almost as if the Dem "opposition" is constrained to a message of "we're mostly the same but nicer about it" and that message doesn't fire up their base in the same way that maga's "we're fucking evil and proud of it" message does their own.

*what moves?*  this is the third time I've asked for details on a statement *you* made. 

what "better moves" are you aware of that were so obvious and viable that dems failed to act on?

this kind of mindless cynicism and apathy is exactly how trump and company came to power.  the edge-lord "both sides" shit is so brain-dead. 

I often think about the fact that trump has gained power twice off less than 1/3 of the available voters in the USA.  then I think about a talk from an old german who recounted that for hitler to gain power took just 1/3 of germans, while 1/3 opposed him vehemently and 1/3 sat around complacent and apathetic.

in the face of a fascist regime, picking no side is picking the wrong side.


Ok but you understand that in the Germany scenario, it’s the SPD and the liberals that were the apathetic bunch?

The 1/3rd that opposed fascism vehemently were the socialists and communists, and the liberals had their leaders killed. Then, with the left kneecapped to protect capital, Hitler’s rise continued unabated by (and often times with the assistance of) the other 1/3rd.

This bears repeating - it's as if motherfuckers forget that damn poem starts "First they came for the socialists"...

One criticism I have of the KPD is their policy of 'social fascism' - a product of Stalin's Third International - which considered it impossible to defeat fascism without first defeating Social Democracy. Trotsky put out some decent criticism on the shortcomings of "dumping National Socialists and Social Democrats into one fascist pile".

yeah thats ridiculous.  trump is the most obvious and telegraphed fascist one could even imagine.  he's been a known cheat and scumbag since the 80s.  you're all adults you dont need the democratic party or anyone else for that matter to hold your hand while you do 90 seconds of research, find he's a piece of shit and fascist, and go perform the most civic duty there is.
