Someone like AOC and Bernie will never be allowed anywhere near actual power. God damn money.

Yeah, everyone who spoke up was told to shut up. Already white middle class liberal Americans are scrambling to blame anyone but themselves and the democratic party. Liberals are not a challenge to fascism.

I talked about it and got straight up bullied. I shut up about 45 days before the election because it was just harmful at that point. But you can not bully people into voting for you. You can not tell them the economy is great when they're in pain. You can not transparently be the puppet of a foreign government. You can not tell your base to get excited about people they've hated for literal decades.

The list just goes on. You can not win an election by enforcing a top down attitude. The Republicans worked ground up. Yes they did a lot of lying and gaslighting. But that brought people in and they worked from that during the actual campaign period. The Democrats did nothing to educate people and then told them they were wrong during the campaign.

This is just pattenly untrue.Unless you litterally live I. a corporate news echo chamber, the writing for this has been on the wall, and being discussed as such, litterally everywhere.

However, it was also being downvoted at a preposterously high ratio. So while it was present, Lemmy (and reddit too and pretty much all social media) was dutifully ignoring and abusing those saying that Kamala wasn't winning.

Not only that, but there were bans, and significant bias in moderation behavior to support the building of that echo chamber.

So no. Only if you live in a self construct d bubble was this not obvious since the convention.

They were. You called them Russian trolls and ignored them.

"You're a Russian bot sowing division! These shills will disappear after the election."

I made this meme a while back. Got downvoted.

I mean, I said Harris was a sure fire way to a Trump presidency. Does that count?
