Won is doing literally all of the work in this article. Using Won like Democrats did a single thing to encourage us to actively vote for them is just fabricating reality.
I mean, they won a few disenfranchised conservatives I guess. Maybe they’ll win a few more when they lose next time, assuming there is a next time.
They just need to find the right combination of vulnerable minorities to abandon, and then maybe they’ll finally get the coveted GWB and Romney endorsements! Then Republicans will HAVE to vote for them!
Agreed. Highly engaged voters voted for Democrats because Trump/MAGA threaten the very fabric of democracy.
We were the forest voting for the ax because thier opponent was a chainsaw in a toupee.
Sounds like the hot-potato-voter-shame-game is making the rounds again. If only the DNC put in half as much work getting elected as they do shifting blame, or its true-believers held the DNC half as accountable as the country’s voters.
yeah, the lies are blatantly obvious to anyone that has actually followed and understood politics since before Trump. the longer you look at it the more obvious and undeniable the bad faith obstruction by the Republicans is. the only people who understand that and support them genuinely believe they’d be better off without the government telling them what not to do, or are full Christofascist warriors that want to create Gideon or whatever.
Unfortunately “highly engaged voters” aren’t a large segment of the population. If you want to win elections, you have to cater to the voters who only hear the occasional sound bite and then just make a decision based on vibes and/or what their friends and chosen media propaganda factory tell them.
No, it’s not an ideal world, but it’s the world we live in, and it’s been that way for a long time — more than long enough that the DNC should have gotten it’s act together by now. And yet… here we are again…
The folks with brains voted blue. The dumbasses voted for Trump.
I strongly dislike democrats, for the record. I’m independent, and I really think democrats are shit. But I voted for Kamala.
The folks with brains voted blue. The dumbasses voted for Trump.
It’s a mystery why politics is so polarized these days…
Trump is terrible, but many people voted for him because they saw something in him that they wanted or needed. It was most likely based on lies but it’s what they needed. Any alternative, if it hopes to win, must address the same needs.
i mean, making bad decisions because you fell for a lie is pretty much my definition of dumb.
Voting for the people actively funding genocide and thinking that they were the best choice is exactly my definition of dumb.
Nah dog they voted for trump because team sports. He is their tiny brains highschool football team. The pastor wouldn’t let them go to prom if trump didn’t win. Also no amount of reaching across the aisle will win one vote, they literally vote against their best interests because it feels good.
