In reply to the discussion: Facing intense internal pressure, DNC releases postelection autopsy that criticizes Kamala Harris [View all]bigtree
(94,690 posts)...the one where people who voted for Biden to keep a convicted felon out of office, refused to vote for the black woman who was running to keep the convicted felon out of office.
Those voters refused to fdo THEIR jobs, and I think it's despicable that they risked the things they claimed to be so concerned about by enabling someone into office who was diametrically opposed to EVERYTHING they claim to stand for.
The election was about preserving the ability of Americans to debate and reconcile our differences in a democratic and legislative system of government, and THAT'S what people who claim to be so concerned about the midterms had better start expressing in these posts on this platform they have available.
It was an existential crisis when they abandoned Kamala Harris, and it's an even more existential crisis now.
What are they going to do in the face of it? Sit on their hands again?
What epic fuckery do people who refused to show up and vote the last time around have planned for this next attempt to defend and protect our country? Blame someone else?
It would be as if they're just fine with Democrats arguing among each other in a permanent minority. I mean, what the actual fuck did they expect to happen when they began tearing at Trump's opposition?
Did they imagine that was attracting people they encountered on the platforms where they were spouting their bullshit about the party; where they were dragging the incumbent president and his VP; did they imagine that fuckery was some kind of special super-duper magnet for voters to cast their ballots for Democrats?
Where does their own superior campaigning for Democrats actually begin? Where is their advocacy of the Democratic majority we need to provide a check on the republican regime that enables the corruption and abuse from the Trump WH and government?
When are they going to ever get around to supporting Democrats in a way that makes a positive difference for the party on election day?
It's one thing to advocate for an issue. It's quite another to advocate in this self-defeating fashion that's all the rage among the internet pols today.
How does opposition to the DNC get Democrats to a majority months from now? We shouldn't just pretend all it takes is dragging Democrats and the DNC, and then presto, we're in the majority.
How'd that work out the last time we did just that?
