So if after his term ends Trump doesn't remain in power, will you just shoot yourself? Or how do you plan to prevent people from having to listen to your half-assed doomer opinions?
Yeah, he's a fucking idiot and he never should've won. Says a lot about the democratic party that they got beaten by a fucking idiot.
Maybe in the future own your mistakes instead of fearmongering, idk, just a thought.
Or, it says a lot about the intentions of each and every person that either voted for him, or didn’t vote.
“It’s Alice’s fault for not reminding Bob to pay the heating bill”. And I do mean reminding - as in an extremely obvious thing.
What is important is the next steps. It is obvious that the left will not win unless we are unified. Go volunteer, use these next four years to try to create the Democratic party you want to see. Make them reliant on your help and use that to push the items you are passionate about. Or you can sit on the outside and watch this country fall while complaining that the people who are actually doing something aren't doing enough.
They will stick with "I'm not Trump!" even when it's not Trump running
Voter turnout was the second highest since women got the right to vote. Voters came out and narrowly voted for Trump in seven key states. Many didn't like him, but didn't believe that the Dems actually cared about their issues. And while Trump is crass and wish he were nicer, at least life during his presidency wasn't bad for them.
This was the most important election in our life time and the best the Democrats could do was pick the next person in line.
