Because the DNC would rather get Trump elected than listen to their constituency.

    While yes I'm sure it contributed, I think a lot of people voted because their rent and groceries were too expensive, so that means "vote for the party not in power". It makes zero sense, but I have to hope that they're just uninformed and desperate and not eager for what Trump and 2025 crew want.

    Ultimately though, it's on them. It was their responsibility to know what they're voting for, and they failed. Now we can only hope they're too incompetent to do what they want.

    Yeah make sure you never ever ever ever ever ever ever blame voters. It's always Democrats and never voters responsible. God fuck this world and every moron in it

    The fact of the matter is: People need more than sticks to do anything; they need carrots. Nobody, me included, cares if you don't like how people didn't fear your preferred stick enough; that's just how people work. The failure remains squarely on the DNC who, having the perfect stick in Trump, refused to prepare a carrot and opted for a piece of shit hoping to attract some flies from the neighboring mountain-sized pile of shit. Getting angry at voters is like getting angry at the wind for destroying your paper house; I mean okay but maybe don't build a paper house?

    Great mental gymnastics to pretend voters aren't responsible for their reprehensible actions! I'll try and adapt that to dodge blame every time I fuck up

    I'm not American so I didn't really fuck up anything. I still it's the responsibility of candidates to get people to vote for them. I don't care if you didn't like it, but expecting people to vote for a pile of shit to avoid a bigger pile of shit doesn't work, has never worked and will never work. The DNC, enabled by "hold your nose and vote for her" folks, failed to consider this basic fact and that lost them the white house and senate. Well, congrats.
