    The real reason America deserves to fall to fascism is that you still have bootlickers in this very thread pretending the Harris campaign really did all it could to win, and it was the fault of the mean, nasty leftists online calling out her support for a genocide that got Trump elected.

    Nobody is gonna learn a goddamn thing from this election, just like they haven’t for decades. American democracy died before I was born, people are just realizing it now.

      People might learn. They might learn that corporate Democrats are worthless. That would be an interesting day.

      The Trump campaign went all out with a campaign to offend and alienate, ensure everyone knew he’s unfit to be in charge of getting out of bed. Yet somehow he failed to drive away voters in droves

        The sad reality is that Trump actually went to Dearborn and Hamtramack and publicly met with Arab American politicians and promised to make their lives better. He was lying of course and he’s already admitting that less than a month later, but he went to those towns specifically because Biden very publicly snubbed them and this spring he detoured his campaign stops in Michigan to skip them completely because he refused to meet any Arab-American community members or politicians. They’ve been loyal Democratic voters and donors for decades and he just refused to be seen with them, and once Harris took over her campaign also refused to let them endorse her at the DNC and waited until the first week of November for her to even meet any Muslim leaders in Pennsylvania and didn’t even meet with anyone notable.

        And people are shocked that Trump made inroads with minorities? This is all on Biden/Harris, they didn’t just ignore the community but it was like they were intentionally throwing insults at it in hopes of seeming cool to Republicans on the fence, and then offering nothing but “fall in line or Trump will win.”

            Read the actual articles you posted. Biden snubbed the community and sent an advisor instead. It was the illusion of pretending to care; he frequently hosted Jewish American families in the White House and filled up his social media feed with selfies of Israeli hostage families but couldn’t be bothered to meet any Arab and Muslim families who were affected by his policies. Biden couldn’t even walk back his insult where he told the press he has “zero trust for Palestinians.” (He later privately told people in the White House that he meant to say Hamas but never clarified his remark. And that’s one of many.) When Harris took over, she refused to meet any mainstream Arab or Muslim leaders and the campaign wouldn’t allow her to be photographed next to any until the last week of the campaign and only with local small town religious leaders in PA.

            Again, Biden/Harris decided to snub their own party base and try running as a liberal Republican, in hopes of getting Republicans to switch their vote. It’s why Harris campaign wouldn’t let any trans people or Arabs speak at DNC and she avoided talking about things that Democrats wanted, instead saying “vote for us anyway because Trump.” We now see ONCE AGAIN that this strategy fails, as if if 2016 wasn’t proof enough they had to repeat it.

        Decades ago the corporatists and oligarchs traded in the currency of societal need and societal trends. Having exploited those markets and needing more, they’ve perfected leveraging societal stupidity. Stupidity is the currency that now powers capitalism.
