Okay, so I would be equally justified in saying:
Liberals, this is what you get when you assume people must vote for you.
THANK YOU. This far down the road and they’re still ignoring this aspect.
Yes protest voters choosing to make things worse for Palestine and everyone in the US is stupid.
AND liberals and especially the party leadership made a huge miscalculation in assuming everyone would vote for “not Trump.”
Both contributed to the loss. Which is more to blame? There’s a discussion to be had there but imo the overall electoral strategy is a much bigger issue than a handful of stupid people who didn’t vote or voted Trump over this one particular issue
The party leadership isn’t here. Some of the protest voters are. Any statement posted on Lemmy is directed at the voters, not the leadership, and assuming otherwise is arguing in bad faith.
The voters had the opportunity to stop Trump. They didn’t. Many people on Lemmy actively encouraged people to let Trump win. He won. Those are the facts.
Those who voted for Dems voted against this. Those that protest-non-voted voted for this. Frankly it’s funny watching your mental gymnastics to get away from this.
And we see the conclusion of the plausible deniability, so you can lash out at me. All to duck that all I’m doing is informing protest-non-voters what they voted for. The gymnastics are really something to behold.
Those supporting The Establishment Democrats are responsible for all of this. So naturally they accuse everybody else and blame the voters for their own mistakes. They knew running is the status quo with dog shit unpopular candidates was not enough to win and they did it anyway. Forced it on us.

See? Everyone’s at fault and equally awful.

Who’s assuming? I am informing protest-non-voters what they voted for.
And I’m informing liberals that aren’t blameless in this fascist takeover.
See? We’re both terrible people. Like everyone.

Guy stop entertaining an ignorant self righteous tankie.
Don’t think I was entertaining, I think I shut down his attempt to wiggle out.
Man if only there was some organization that could have convinced them to vote instead of yelling at them.
Who’s yelling*? I am informing protest-non-voters what they voted for.
(*You slipped that in with plausible deniability that you were referring to me, but I think it’s clear. More gymnastics.)
Plenty of people were yelling about it last fall. Just like they yelled in the fall of 2016. And just like they yelled back in 2000.
And don’t be so self centered.

Aww, do you need a friend? Poor little thing thinking it’s all about you.
No, Liberals aren’t responsible for this, they could have sucked, but in the end you stood by and let the genocidal fascists take over.
You don’t know if I voted or for whom.
And I’m also not the one who decided campaigning with a Cheney was a good idea.
Those supporting The Establishment Democrats are responsible for all of this. So naturally they accuse everybody else and blame the voters for their own mistakes. They knew running is the status quo with dog shit unpopular candidates was not enough to win and they did it anyway. Forced it on us.
There’s way more than enough blame to go around.
No, the blame lies with the aristocrats arrogantly controlling the dem party.
The important part is that we don’t blame the republicans for being complete shits, right?
We knew what the Republicans were. They weren’t hiding it to those in reality. Yet we refused to stop them.
Yep, about a third of everyone is overtly reprehensible.
The remaining two thirds are merely covertly reprehensible.
And there’s nothing we can do about it.
