You need to understand that American non-voters are unironically fucking stupid. They heard you complaining about Democrats and that just reinforced their decision to not vote for anyone.
Maybe the Democrats should prove the complainers wrong. The Democratic leadership has had plenty of opportunity to build trust amongst the voters, and decided to ignore them instead. They’ve spent years letting their voters down, which is why they aren’t trusted.
And then what? Get 4 more years of a genocidal Cop in the white house further normalizing “tough on the border” policies and genocidal foreign policy. And then follow it up with another Republican with even more of a “mandate” to murder immigrants and bomb brown kids? America has been a dictatorship of the capitalist class since it’s founding. Voting for president is like voting for a temporary court jester. It doesn’t change who runs this country. It only changes which interest of the ruling class are served.
You stupid motherfucker. We should have elected Harris even if the worst things you say here were true, because Trump is still significantly fucking worse.
Worse for minorities and LGBT. Worse for women. Worse on climate change (yeah we could have used 4 more years of maybe fucking slowing that down a bit) Worse for the poor. Worse for Gaza. Worse for Ukraine. (Hell, worse for Russians.) Worse for those receiving USAID. Worse for privacy. Worse for human rights. Worse for healthcare. Worse for economic stability.
And not by an insignificant margin.
I’m not playing this game of revolutionary larping no matter how much your type drags us into the fucking mud. I hope you have fun getting shot by the brownshirts you helped enable, because surely you’ll be on the revolutionary front line right??? Become that leftist martyr you all seem to want people like myself to become.
Man I need to be done with politics. I need to become politically retarded. What a waste of my time and energy why am I addicted to this stupid shit.
They probably told people, however media and the people where busy watching the Trump freak show, and listening to all the lies about of how bad the Democrats are.
That is irrelevant. You don’t seem to understand the point I’m making. I’m saying the average American hears critiques and only process them at surface level and forms a black and white evaluation on that basis. This is incredibly fucking stupid.
And knowing that there are so many American’s like this: it is legitimately going to make fewer Americans vote to prevent the fascist from taking power (and did!) because they’ll feel like they’re aligning with the “bad guys” if you critique Democrats in public without a load of additional context (that some wont even absorb anyway if you provided it).
I feel like your missing that many people do see the Democrats as the bad guys, and I can’t say that I blame them. We recently asked them to say “Genocide is bad, and we won’t support it” and they wouldn’t. They are the baddies

No I’m not. I literally said that they would. And I hold that such a black and white surface level evaluation of the situation and to then choose not to vote is aggressively fucking stupid.
And TBH, I don’t want to help stupid people if they’re going to keep dragging me into the mud. I’ve worried about politics for most of my life and worked to make things better for other people but this election has freed me to focus on helping mostly just myself and a few close people that align with me. Most other people are hopeless. I’m done swimming up a waterfall.

Its simple cause and effect.
Maybe the Democrats should prove the complainers wrong. The Democratic leadership has had plenty of opportunity to build trust amongst the voters, and decided to ignore them instead. They’ve spent years letting their voters down, which is why they aren’t trusted.
I agree.
We still should have prevented Trump from winning by more people voting Democrat.

What has the Democrats offered in the face of growing inequality and increasing power of corporations?

Why should people vote for a party that do not even want to resolve the most pressing issues that affect their daily lives?
To prevent fascists from taking power.
To prevent fascists from taking over, we should elect corpos who will constantly push us on a rightward trajectory towards fascism.
Instead, we should sprint full speed into fascism. That’ll show the fascists!
