We need to stress this more. Trump voters are broken people who shouldn’t be voting.

Agree 100% and I'll take this a step further by saying everyone and anyone duped into voting for Trump and Biden in 2020 should have their voting rights revoked. Anyone who thinks 80 year old people should serve in the most powerful and demanding position in the world is a complete and utter idiot that can't understand the most basic and simple human science.

You are the reason why we have Trump. Irrational people throwing temper tantrums instead of pulling up their big girl panties and doing the right thing.

Grow TF up.

Imagine being so brainwashed that you see 4 years of Biden growing the economy with record low unemployment, then see Trump tear it all down in just 3 months, and conclude that really both sides the same.

Trump is the worst ever no doubt but Trump and Biden do have one very obvious thing in common- neither had any business being elected POTUS in the two most recent elections. If Trump had never existed, we would have never had a Biden 1st term and if Biden had never existed, we wouldn't have had a Trump second term. These two elderly losers were only capable of beating each other.

Truth hurts. Sorry MAGA.

We're gonna burn all your progressive leftist nonsense down. Sorry, comm1e, truth hurts.

And yet it is the republicans who love everything Putin, from Trump, Gabbad, Patel, Tucker, and rheumatologist republicans I. The senate. You do know that Putin and Russia are the communist you republicans support.

Putin is now more popular with Ametican voters than Biden, Harris, pelosi, or Schumer. What have the Dems done wrong to deserve such scorn from the American people?

You aren’t going to like this answer but: destroyed livelihoods permanently with their pandemic policies and kept kids out of school in the pandemic.

The deep anger over Democratic pandemic policies is powerful, but the elitist leaders that run the Democratic Party and their laptop class supporters won’t even acknowledge all the losses, let alone that people are angry. The wealthy Democrats who benefited off the labor of working class people whose kids suffered the most from the school closures have conveyed over and over who much they do not care about how those working classes suffered under Democrats.

Do you understand just how deeply people like Pelosi and the laptop class Democrats of DCUM are absolutely hated by most Americans?

I absolutely do understand this hatred and it's warranted. I also understand the hatred for Trump in 2020 that gave him a 40% approval rating and ZERO chance of winning the 2020 election. In 2024, Biden was the incumbent with a 40% approval rating and ZERO chance of winning the 2024 election. In 2028, Trump will be lucky to have maintained a 40% approval rating and the GOP will have ZERO chance of a 2028 election victory.

At some point, you'd think the gullible and naive GOP and Dem loyalists would realize where this cycle of awfulness leads and they'd begin to demand better leadership...

Agreed with all points.

I wish one of the two parties would reconstitute itself as a true party of labor and working classes. Otherwise it’s just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

The Republicans have done it. They aren’t sincere, but they have attracted the working class voters. Democrats don’t even try to help the working class any more, although upper middle class Dems still talk a lot about how kind and compassionate they are and how stupid the working class is for not appreciating them more.

So I don’t know how you win with an electorate that is immediately and unfailing credulous with whatever republicans tell them and completely unwilling to believe democrats.

There’s a message here for us. There’s a reason people don’t believe what we say. It’s that we lie, mostly to ourselves. We insist that middle and working class Republicans are “voting against their own interests” because we imagine ourselves to be the party of compassion and competence. But income inequality has never once decreased under Democrats in our lifetimes. We deny that we’re the party more favorably disposed toward illegal immigration. Is that credible? We deny that we are the party of LGBTQIA+ indoctrination in schools. Is that credible? We have to be honest with ourselves. If we can’t even do that, we shouldn’t be surprised that voters don’t believe us.

100% accurate.

WTH are there so many fake Dems on this site now, who all sock puppet?

This is pure propaganda, folks. Stay alert.

🙄

Opinions that disagree with Democratic leadership orthodoxy are not “pure propaganda,” but the fact you view even the mildest criticism of the Democrats as heresy is yet one more reason we lost.

DP.

This, 100%.

The Democratic evangelical fundamentalists here can’t accept this truth.

Lots of dickheads posting “ we” this and “we” that.
No one here with a functioning brain thinks you are apart of “we”. Whether that means you are posting from the MAGA far right or the idiotic far left. You bag-of-dicks are not a part of the democratic “we”. F off.

The only REAL Democrats are committed to illegal immigration and trans folks while simultaneously refusing to admit they support those things. Anyone suggesting Dems adjust their policies to appeal to more voters is not to be trusted. With this kind of policing, Democrats will get purer and purer, but with a smaller and smaller group of voters.

Show me exactly and specifically where those things were part of Harris's platform or in her campaign rally speeches.

She said she wouldn't have done anything different from Biden.
We get it, she was pretending otherwise on the campaign trail.

That's not exact or specific. Try again.

NP. You don’t get to go there if you can’t show me exactly and specifically that Trump is a Nazi, Musk is a Nazi, both are stealing taxpayer dollars, etc. you’re playing a game and no one sane buys it

Jump! HIGHER!!

We had a Trump 1st term because of idiots voting for Trump. We had a Trump second term because of idiots voting for Trump and because idiots couldn't see the forest for the trees when electing an unlikable 77 year old jerk to a 1st term.

You may have been shocked to see Biden roll over like a dead dog in 2024 so that Trump would have an easy election victory; the rest of the world with at least half a brain were not shocked when seeing the obvious ramifications of electing a 77 year old to a 1st POTUS term play out. Think. Read. Then comment.

You weaponized the legal system against political opponents and pushed woke idiocy down everyone's throat. That's why you lost.

Joe frickin Biden is why we lost. I haven't weaponized anything. Find a brain.

Democrats were VERY hot and bothered to install Joe Biden in 2020. But now he’s “the only reason we lost.” Why can’t Dems admit that their IDEAS are unpopular? It seems to be a huge psychological blind spot.

I’m a 40-something AA with a circle of other educated 40-something AAs in the DMV, all born and raised here. We frequently discuss and agree with this. It is a huge blind spot that is frequently shut down when some people tried to explain, it was justified away. It was the pushing of gender changes on kids that rubbed a lot of Democrat Christians (many black women) the wrong way. And taking on too many issues to push too hard too fast that we knew would put a sour taste in people’s mouth, whether justified or not. But we all still voted Blue No Matter Who. Same reason we can believe that abortion is immoral in God’s eyes as Christians but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have a right to make decisions about our bodies.

The black Christian Democratic vote is misunderstood and very powerful. Thats why it always surprises people when we mobilize our communities.

The Democrats have become very strict about conformity. Everyone has to accept the platform, no disagreement allowed. African-Americans are less enthusiastic about forced injections, due to a hard-earned understanding of US Gov’t history, but rich white liberals don’t accept that. They relate more to the compromised rich whites in the revolving door between CDC/FDA and pharmaceutical companies. These are their people. But that’s not the biggest issue. The biggest issue for black Christians is that the Party is increasingly hostile to Christianity.

😂😂😂
Thanks for the laugh. MAGA will shiv you if you don’t kiss the ring. They were ready to hang Pence.
