Okay, so I would be equally justified in saying:
Liberals, this is what you get when you assume people must vote for you.
THANK YOU. This far down the road and they’re still ignoring this aspect.
Yes protest voters choosing to make things worse for Palestine and everyone in the US is stupid.
AND liberals and especially the party leadership made a huge miscalculation in assuming everyone would vote for “not Trump.”
Both contributed to the loss. Which is more to blame? There’s a discussion to be had there but imo the overall electoral strategy is a much bigger issue than a handful of stupid people who didn’t vote or voted Trump over this one particular issue
The party leadership isn’t here. Some of the protest voters are. Any statement posted on Lemmy is directed at the voters, not the leadership, and assuming otherwise is arguing in bad faith.
The voters had the opportunity to stop Trump. They didn’t. Many people on Lemmy actively encouraged people to let Trump win. He won. Those are the facts.
What I saw a lot of on Lemmy was democrat supporters and voters insisting that people will just hold their nose and vote for Harris and accusing anybody angry about the ongoing genocide of either supporting Trump or playing into the hands of Russia.

Did I do that? Very confused.
The voters had the opportunity to stop Trump. They didn’t.
Ah yes, it’s all the voters’ fault.
If only the DNC had any power at all in this situation or ability to influence the actions of voters…
Those who voted for Dems voted against this. Those that protest-non-voted voted for this. Frankly it’s funny watching your mental gymnastics to get away from this.
Those supporting The Establishment Democrats are responsible for all of this. So naturally they accuse everybody else and blame the voters for their own mistakes. They knew running is the status quo with dog shit unpopular candidates was not enough to win and they did it anyway. Forced it on us.
Everything republicans do is the progressives’ collective fault, and liberals never do anything wrong ever.
Yes, not voting is a vote for whoever won, it’s the same reason being “apolitical” doesn’t exist.
Nominating a candidate you know can’t win is voting for the opposition candidate.
Nice strawman. Also, I am informing protest non-voters what they voted for.
Quit sowing division troll.
You know you spamming this attack 5 times. I’m just gonna report and move on. Ciao.

See? Everyone’s at fault and equally awful.

Right? They keep acting like the DNC couldn’t have done anything better.
Who’s assuming? I am informing protest-non-voters what they voted for.
And I’m informing liberals that aren’t blameless in this fascist takeover.
See? We’re both terrible people. Like everyone.
Those who voted for Dems voted against this. Those that protest-non-voted voted for this. Frankly it’s funny watching your mental gymnastics to get away from this.
Guy stop entertaining an ignorant self righteous tankie.
Don’t think I was entertaining, I think I shut down his attempt to wiggle out.
Man if only there was some organization that could have convinced them to vote instead of yelling at them.
Right?
It’s the party that lost the election, by their choices… Blaming voters is pathetic.
These two trolls are wasting everyone’s time, lemmy.world seems to be infested with them.
Who’s yelling*? I am informing protest-non-voters what they voted for.
(*You slipped that in with plausible deniability that you were referring to me, but I think it’s clear. More gymnastics.)
Plenty of people were yelling about it last fall. Just like they yelled in the fall of 2016. And just like they yelled back in 2000.
And don’t be so self centered.
No, Liberals aren’t responsible for this, they could have sucked, but in the end you stood by and let the genocidal fascists take over.
You don’t know if I voted or for whom.
And I’m also not the one who decided campaigning with a Cheney was a good idea.
Those supporting The Establishment Democrats are responsible for all of this. So naturally they accuse everybody else and blame the voters for their own mistakes. They knew running is the status quo with dog shit unpopular candidates was not enough to win and they did it anyway. Forced it on us.
There’s way more than enough blame to go around.
No, the blame lies with the aristocrats arrogantly controlling the dem party.
The important part is that we don’t blame the republicans for being complete shits, right?
We knew what the Republicans were. They weren’t hiding it to those in reality. Yet we refused to stop them.
Yep, about a third of everyone is overtly reprehensible.
The remaining two thirds are merely covertly reprehensible.
And there’s nothing we can do about it.
