Because they are unable to live up to the expectations patriarchal society sets on us and rather than realize the society is bullshit, double down on it and decide it's other peoples fault.
Since Obama:
Can't pass bill because you need 60 votes to end a filibuster (it takes 50 votes to ban filibustering, repubs did it in trump 1, "Biden" put it back)
Can't appoint Supreme Court Judge cause you need 60 votes (same as before)
Biden specifically:
Can't pass budget bill because parliamentarian says no (takes 50 to replace the parliamentarian)
Can't do a ceasefire in Gaza (Trump on day minus 1*)
Biden can't do X (student loans, etc) because that's illegal (DoJ and the SC both said they would not prosecute a sitting president) (Executive Orders are legal until challenged in court)
*Political fuckery ala Iran Hostage Crisis
What are you talking about, hexbear is filled with libs, everyone knows I'm the only real leftist
But vassals don't change color to match the overlord, the man wants to map paint
Yes, but no. More years for context (count in millions)
2016: 66 Hillary v 63 Trump
2012: 66 Obama v 61 Romney
2008: 69 Obama v 60 McCain
2020 was a rarity in terms of turnout, 4 years of trump motivated a lot of angry Dems, but 4 years of Nothing will fundamentally change doesn't really excite the base. Add on top of that the Dems last second changed their nominee to a person who dropped out of the 2020 primary because she did not have a base.. If I remember right, it was so bad even mayo Pete had a higher percentage of the black vote.
Look at the vote totals, (as of right now) Harris 66 mi vs Trump's 71, compare this to 2020, 81 Biden vs 74 Trump.There is also this Pew article which shows the breakdown of non-voters
The simple conclusion is that the singularly most important thing a politician can do is excite and move their base. For how awful/low energy his campaign was this year, trump still excites and moves a base, while kamala was confused about what base to cater to- first calling Republicans weird then copying their platform and getting the dick Cheney approval.
This all could have been avoided if the Dems actually had a primary this year, but I think the DNC is actually afraid of progressives taking the party back over
Poor dude swallowed watermelon seeds
Once again joining the pandemic on the side of the disease. Praise Grandpa Nurgle!
The founding fathers were afraid of the "tyranny of the masses" so they intentionally designed every step of the US government to be as conservative and undemocratic as possible. It is less stupid and more malice which drove our cluster fuck today.
Chinese organ harvesting has gone too far this time!
if voting for someone isn't endorsing their actions then what is it?
Just something democrats deserve because they're not the other guy?
