Most the people I know that did vote for them blame them for not being in charge. Yes, it is a clown country.

Dems gross incompetence is the exact reason they can't get enough votes to win what should have been the easiest election of all of our lifetimes

Something something enjoy your republican overlords for the rest of time.
Seriously what the fuck is the democratic party doing anymore. It seriously feels like the second Obama left they collectively forgot what the fuck they were doing.
The people running the show since Obama left are the ones that are still pissed he beat Hillary in 08.
Instead of reshaping the DNC, Obama ignored it and Hillary's people have had a hold of it except the brief few months Donna Brazil got in. And since she went public with all the shit they'd been doing, we haven't seen anything else for 8 years.
They know exactly what they're doing won't win elections.
They know exactly what will win elections instead.
But that's not what fills their campaign coffers, so that's not what we'll get from them.
The goals of Dem voters and Dem leadership haven't been aligned for decades.
I still remember when Donna Brazile destroyed her reputation and lost her job after getting caught leaking questions for a CNN event to the Hilary campaign. Isn't she one of Hilary's people?
Yeah I remember the outrage over that. Lasted for weeks. "Sometimes I get the questions in advance".
Then it turns out FOX News did the exact same thing for Trump this cycle but that interesting fact was withheld to be a sell-a-book bombshell (long after the result) and nobody really gave a shit.

Authoritarianism is oddly efficient in making decisions and having direction. Such are the perils of democracy.. an opposition that embodies shared decision making and balance of power will often look slower, incompetent and out of touch..

It's because they had nothing to do with Obama. Obama was the result of the last honest primary with no fuckery, and the DNC immediately regretted it. They wanted Hillary to get the nomination in '08, so they forced her through in '16.

I spend WAY too much time online and see all the stupid viral videos because of it, and I pay attention to politics a LOT more than the average American does getting their hour of ~~news~~ propaganda from billionaire-owned media each night from the TV and facebook posts from their bubble of "friends".
What fucking viral Tuna Melt moment?
Only 80 year old geriatric with dementia would consider that viral, wait.
What fucking viral Tuna Melt moment?
I'm pretty sure she's being ironic. The giveaway is "very memorable" -- if it really were memorable you wouldn't say it that way.

The Problem with the left is that they actually have different opinions. The right is just different shades of Nazis. The left is a bunch of fundimentally different approaches to make the world the world a better place. Therefore, of course the Nazis are going to win.
What we are talking about is the paradox of inclusivity. Either the 99% oppress the 1%, or the 1% oppress the 99%. From an ethical, a democratic, a Constitutional, and an ecological standpoint, oppressing the 1% would be the right thing.
The Left seems to be made of up a bunch of different coalitions that can’t agree on the priorities to enact. People are for something but they can’t agree on what.
The Right seems to be made up of a bunch of different coalitions that can’t agree on the priorities to repeal. People are against something but can’t agree on what. They also have Nazis.
The fact that people actually believe that this is all the democrats are currently doing clearly illustrates exactly why we had so many protest voters.
It seems as if the far left won’t ever be convinced of anything unless it-
A) Agrees with what they already believe
B) Is in an easy-to-read meme format
C) Comes from their communal clipboard of copypasta marxist rhetiric.
I’m incredibly angry that trump won, but not at all surprised. These people make up not just a portion of our voting body, but also a huge portion of our NON-voting body.
The Democratic Party is in a timeloop for thirty years if they believe that courting centrists and right wing voters still work in the age of growing wealth inequality. Actually, forget that, the Democrats still want to court centrists and the right in order to send signal to the true rulers that are oligarchs, that they are just as right wing as the Republicans in order to keep receiving corporate donations and make money from stocks.
What are they doing? Wait I'll do you one better. What else can they do, but re-evaluate what they've been doing?

What do you expect from a party that has no power? Honestly Republicans should be more pissed off, they have all 3 branches of government and they're doing symbolic bullshit with 0 chance of success to appeal to Trump specifically, and it'll work because he never watched School House Rock. Not that I'm complaining.
the constitution only matters if the people who enforce it actually decide to.
Remember when the Democrats had a super majority and did literally fuck all with it? No abortion law, no privacy laws, literally fucking nothing? I do. Cause I remember being real excited they might actually do something and now I'm jaded because they fucking didn't.
Keep watching and you'll be just as pissed at how much the Democrats insist on fucking kneecapping themselves at every available opportunity. I mean, Jesus. Christ. Kamala ran on building the fucking wall.

Can't someone make a new party that actually represents working class people and just get rid of Democrats? By many other countries politics, Democrats look more right than left
Democrats have political and financial capital, which tend to be powerful assets in running a successful campaign. Any new party needs to:
- Inform the general population that they exist
- Inform the general population what their platform is
- Persuade the general population that their platform is desirable
- Convince the general population that they're capable of implementing their platform
These are not trivial tasks, made more difficult without a track record or money.
Without a PAC funded by the ultra rich no unapproved canidate will ever make it to the ballot.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

Alternative title: "What CNBC is reporting on vs What FOX News is reporting on"
Correction: "vs What FOX News is tweeting about"
Can someone explain me what was the tuna melt moment? All I get is literal tuna sandwiches in the Google search
Yeah, if that's the most viral they went in the last 5 years, they're in trouble. I don't remember anything like that happening either.
it was that time Biden walked into a Subway and said "you're telling me a tuna melted this sandwhich?" and everyone laughed
Dear lord. I guess that explains everything about how the Democrats failed to win. They live in a different world.
I’ve posted it before but the way to get “media attention” is to be controversial and a bit shameless
Republicans are great at this. “Ban immigrants”, “all weapons should be permanently legal for everyone”, “ban abortion in all cases”, “ban gays”, these extreme messages are embraced by the party. Algorithms pick up on content that is engaged upon. People engage on this content regardless of their viewpoint. Even if you hate these views you are more likely to click and view out of rage, to comment your disbelief and to say “fuck this stupid bullshit”
Democrats are terrible at this. They abhor the controversial messaging from the left. They embrace weak messaging that sinks like “maybe some mild economic reform”. They embrace weak counter messaging like “gay people are actually valid”, “abortion should be left alone”, “maybe regulate guns a little” and then it gets trampled by right wing commenters and voices.
They need to embrace the right wing formula, frankly. “90% tax bracket for income over 10 million dollars”, “state funded abortion mills”, “ban all guns”, “mandatory lgbt education in public schools”, “death penalty for oligarchs”, etc. stop softening the message because you’re worried about alienating 4% of old white voters. It’s clearly not working

The right found themselves someone who champions their values in as much the same way as the left finds a champion in the Roosevelts.
I think it's pendulum swinging to the right in general as is nature of politics. Hopefully it won't last long and someone doesn't stick a knife to stop the pendulum swinging back. There is still plenty of hope considering that many Americans are still resisting. I don't know who is who in both the Senate and the House, but I'm sure the Democrats will vote down the proposal to allow a third term to a president, and a Republican one at that.
We are so fucked.
You Americans get what you asked for
