If you think the fault lies with the democrats, you haven't been paying attention to the machine they are raging about.
I forgot they ran a flawless campaign, definitely they are raging against Republicans only.
Compared to Trump's dimentia-ridden campaign, which was probably the worst political campaign in American history? Yeah, the Democrats' campaign was fucking perfect in comparison to talking about Arnold Palmer's cock, giving a microphone a blowjob, or saying Haitian migrants are eating cats and dogs.
Yes, both parties are corrupt, and yes, there is no party offering true change in a socialist direction. One party is literally fascist, and is clearly worse. I hate voting for the lesser of two evils, but this was the easiest election decision I've made in my entire life.
Not to the people that voted though. They thought Trump was the better candidate.
And they were incorrect, unless they specifically supported him because of stuff like Project 2025, being massively corrupt, promising to give Elon power, bringing more devistation to Gaza, etc.
Also the democrats lost about 6 million votes, and Trump gained about 3 million vs 2020. That's 3 million prior voters who just decided voting wasn't worth it in just 4 years. How Trump gained those 3 million votes is beyond me, unless they never directly watched Trump speak in the entire campaign and only watched editorialized content, which is entirely possible, if not likely.
The media this past election cycle has proven to have an extreme conservative bias. The amount of sanewashing that occured with everything Trump said vs the extreme amount of scrutiny for everything Biden and Kamala said was disgusting to see. This includes all corporate media, including corporate-backed online media.
