    The democrats should have been able to run a goddamn cardboard cutout and people should have turned out in droves to vote against that shitstain. This isn’t 2000. This wasn’t the kind of election where any of the things you mentioned should have been a factor. It’s insane.

    Yes, I absolutely can blame the people for being too lazy or stupid to do the minimum possible to protect themselves and their neighbors. These excuses are just goddamn braindead, and it will never not astound me that when comparing a functioning adult to a giant corrupt sack of shit, that anyone anywhere had to have a conversation about why they should bother to show uo to vote for the functioning adult.

      It’s constructive to say “democrats will lose if they fail to promote popular left policy in 2026 and 2028, and if they do win, they absolutely have to immediately materially improve people’s conditions if they don’t want to get blown out again in 2030 as happened in 2022.”
