I literally see voters saying the Democrats were too left leaning, jfc.

With parties like this, painful collapse is the only way to avoid multigenerational destitution.

There is no saving the United States as a framework. It is far too compromised, with too many methods installed to keep the people willfully ignorant and infighting as the owners suck their life forces dry for profit.

We can limp along and pretend that isn't the case, but climate change, aka the reality that doesn't give a shit about our self-delusion and greed worship, will force that collapse sooner rather than later. Reality can't be bribed, deluded, disappeared, or discredited.

Enjoy living in delusion that a society can function in capitalist competition against itself, the ability to do so is coming to an end.

I think its important to ask the people saying that to name specific examples of HOW they were too left leaning. People just want to hurt someone now because they are hurt - it doesn't matter if they are punching left or right, if they perceive something as landing, it makes them feel better.

I am seeing Liberals online blaming minorities for not showing up when the reality is, across the board Dem voters didn't show up.

Stop blaming the voters. It's the same shit every damn time. The DNC failed America. After Clinton they should've learned, but they just do the same shit every time.

They double down every time they roll Clinton out like we care. What we need is a party that's fighting for us, not one that expects votes because the other guy sucks.

We all should be pissed at the lack of leadership that has enabled this outcome. Pointing fingers at each other solves zero issues. What'll happen is 3 years go by and Democrats roll out another neocon establishment pick and we'll just go oh well it's too late to fix anything. Things need to change now before the next cycle starts. We have a lot of work to do.

Exactly. Blaming others before recognizing your own shortcomings is a shitty strategy and it will only serve to alienate people who could otherwise be your champion if you didn’t attack them.
