      It came. It’s been there for months already. This won’t lead to some final epic showdown for democracy. Democracy lost the battle this time.

      This fascism won’t be voted away and the millions of assholes it emboldened now know how to do it again and face no consequences.

      If this is fixable it’ll take decades to fix.

              We DON’T know what you’re talking about. Because you just said the most vague nonexplaintory “It’s coming”, with zero context or followup. I could say “It’s coming”, and in MY head I’m talking about game 6 of the world series. I would know what I mean, but if I said it in a post about fascism, people would assume I’m saying fascism is coming. Which it’s not, because it’s already here.

              That’s where everybody else’s confusion stems from about your comments.

          Damn, poor baby; a fraction of the horror you supported committing to foreigners had returned home to affect you. Maybe you shouldn’t have spent decades loudly demonstrating that you fully consider this kind of thing fully acceptable under the assumption no-one would ever do it to you.

          At least you didn’t have to live in a world where people had the option to vote for an anti-genocide candidate.

          If you still think protest voters impacted the 2024 election, you are deepthroating propaganda pushed to make you hate young people

            If you think people who didnt vote didnt contribute to the problem idk what to tell you about basic math, because 1 vote is definitely more than no votes.

            They are not the only issue, but they definitely helped us get to where we are.

              You should look at the voting partiction history of this country and stop whining about the people that the rich want you to hate instead of them.

                Oh, little buddy. I do hate the rich as well.

                Two things can be a problem at the same time. You can hold two individual thoughts in your head at the same time, can’t you?

                  You just don’t blame them for anything because you have people to your left that you actually hate as designated scapegoats.

          Even if every protest voter voted for Kamala, she would not have come close. Do the bare minimum of analysis before bleating out establishment propaganda you saw on digg.

              Dem with absolute refusal to address the issues within, I’m not shocked at all.

              Official uncommitted count was just over 700k, and she lost by 2 million. Both parties lost substantial amounts of votes compared to 2020, but Dems lost way more. Repugs lost 2 million, and Dems lost 10 million voters, comparatively.

              Uncommitted was not the problem, it was one problem for Dems. A far bigger problem was not holding a primary election in good faith.

              Here’s a shocker for you: when these dipshits anoint yet another corporate stooge who obviously doesn’t give a fuck about people’s material living conditions and policy desires, they lose. Apparently you should get used to it.

                The president is elected via the electoral college. Trump’s margin of electoral college victory, 86 votes, was in line with historically tight races — including 2020, 2016 and 2004 — and is smaller than the winning margins of Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and George H.W. Bush. Trump’s margin was nowhere close to those in historic landslide elections, such as Ronald Reagan’s in 1984 and Nixon’s in 1972, who both had electoral-college margins above 500 votes. Stay in china or russia, or wherever your cave is.

                  In my cave, we abolish the electoral college and don’t put up with superdelegate nonsense stealing noms from progressives.
