I just judge them for being fucking idiots.
This condescending attitude is almost ok when it's done by voters, the problem is tgat the dem party constantly acts insufferably towards potential voters.
It is a party's duty to appeal to the people, not the other way around. The dems proved once again that acting like "the least worst option" doesn't work, especially in a disinformation economy like the US and frankly the rest of the world. It's not the 2000's anymore, respectability politics are hated by most voters.
Anyone that brought up your points earlier this year was dog-piled and being called a tankie or Russian shill. God forbid a powerless user on this website brought up an ounce of criticism towards the party or else it was as if every loyalist was experiencing their own personal 9/11
Got called a shill because I said that Bill Clinton (who someone else brought up in the thread) sexually assaulted Monica Lewinsky because their relationships was a clear abuse of power; it wasn't consensual cheating due to the power differences in age, jobs, he was her employer, the president of the country, etc. And boy did the guys come out in full defense of Clinton, the man who rode on Epstein's plane, while screaming at me that I need therapy for bringing this up and being upset about it, and this will cost Kamala the election. Nevermind current victims or court proceedings or the public's right to know what their president was raping during his presidency.
Further, she was a prosecutor. Had she run on Epstein/Diddy "I will be tough on these sex traffickers, including Trump and Clinton," she would have won. Unfortunately, she ran on "not Trump." That's like telling a person to not think of a bear.
I said this repeatedly. I told them I was voting for Kamala and I wanted her to win, which is why I was requesting they change their speech.
