    Why would they learn? They’ll be fine.

    This is what people don’t seem to understand. This is not some mythical “huge force.” Democrats elect their people through primaries and they rise. Same as ever.

    But all the people who don’t participate? YOU are the ones that have to suffer. Harris was a fine candidate. Sure she wasn’t Santa Claus on Christmas but she was fine and a million ways better than Trump. But people said “eh, I’m ok with Trump then” and didn’t vote for her.

    She isn’t gonna suffer. The DNC isn’t going to suffer. YOU and I are. This is what we call an “own goal.” And all the people wanting more left policy? Well good fucking luck when they stack the SCOTUS with 40 year old right wing fucks, stack the rest of the courts, and move everything back another 20 years progress-wise. Think you’re getting better healthcare soon? Think again. It got a ton harder now. Worried about the climate? Great! Because it was fucked before and it’ll be fucked a fuck more now. What little we were doing is going up in smoke.

    Besides that- two things can be right. The Dems need to refocus AND shithead lazy ass nonvoters need to get off the fucking couch and vote no matter what. Well, if they can still vote in a free and fair election in 2/4 years.

      Are you suggesting that if a voter doesn’t feel that either candidate will represent their needs, they should vote anyway?

        They should be smart enough to vote for the one who gets closest to their needs. If they’re not a complete moron that is.

        The car is moving in one direction or another. It’d be smart to at least move it in the direction you think it should go.
