I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

    Democrats then: “We’ll win without appealing to Arabs in Michigan or anyone who demands we stop funding Israel. Shut them out of the DNC and scold them at every turn. Who cares how they react or that they’re forming PACs like ‘Arabs for Trump.’ We don’t need their votes.”

    Democrats now: “We lost because you STUPID Palestine-lovers wouldn’t vote for us. Your country needed your votes, Gaza needed your votes. It’s actually your fault that we didn’t bother appealing to you.”

      “We don’t need you! We never needed you! Every one of you is a paid Russian actor! We will win with Chaney and Romney!”

      “GOD PLEASE WE NEEDED YOU! WHY DIDN’T YOU TRUST US?! WE CHASED AFTER THE REPUBLICANS TO MAKE YOU LOVE US!”

        Man you guys have gotten so good at taking down these non-existent people making these non-existent arguments.

          It literally happened to me on Reddit, mastodon, and on my previous Lemmy account.

          And now even though I voted for Harris while criticizing her, I’m blamed because I used my 1st amendment rights.

      To the DNC and right wing Dems, its always someone else’s fault why their candidate failed to appeal to the voters they are trying to represent. No accountability for their failure.

        Never taking responsibility and always blaming others for your failures is basically baked into conservative DNA
