Don't be too rough with each other! We're here to appreciate, and sometimes lightly rib, Tolkien's fantastic creation, and all of its derivative works. Arguments happen, but remember, in the words of Tolkien, that food and cheer and good song are what make a merrier world!

It was the Democrat's strategy that resulted in low voter turnout. The votes were up for grabs, they ran away from them.It's not like the campaign was unaware of what messaging and policies were unpopular. They chose to ignore it. They chose to run to the right on policy and messaging.If they gave a shit about being an opposition to fascism, about actually winning, they would have heeded all the warning signs and run a different campaign. Instead they prioritized the interest of their capital donors, and gave a fuck you to their constituents that they are supposed to represent.

The Democratic Party is the one compromising with fascism. As Liberals have done historically and continue to do so.
It was the GOP's strategy, billionaires strategy, Russia's and China's strategy that lead to lower turnout.
And you're acting as a part of that strategy, the power to keep fascists in power.
The DNC campaigned on taxing the rich, healthcare for all, removing money from politics. The problem wasn't policy, it was optics.
I swear you are allergic to reading. How many of those links have you actually looked at?
It was both a messaging issue and a policy issue. Ignoring the bad foreign policy of the campaign and also the lack of messaging on the popular policies, or how Harris shyed away from popular policy messaging, doesn't change the reality that her campaign was a failure. If the failures aren't actually addressed, nothing will change.
