Therefore it’s ridiculous and hypocritical to complain that they didn’t deliver on XYZ for us. They didn’t owe it to us.
All I was implying was solidarity. If we the voting population are so ignorant as to not know the difference between abject fascism. And people who, while they don’t excite us. Don’t propose a massive slide into authoritarianism and brutal repression. Or cannot feel obliged to do whatever possible to keep fascists from the levers of power. That is absolutely on us. I didn’t vote for harris. I voted against trump. Unfortunately for more people than should be acceptable wanted fascism. Or at least didn’t find it motivating enough to hold their nose and vote. Which again is on us. If we want Democrats to do better. We also need to do better.

No they literally don’t. They owe the people who largely Finance the party. And they deliver for those people. While voters every 4 years break records for small donations in presidential elections. Every year in between we do a whole lot of nothing in general for them. Then we childishly wine and throw a tantrum when the president that we held our nose to elect does not have support in the House and Senate to actually get anything done for us. It’s not in every 4-year thing. It’s a multiple times a year thing. It’s a showing up enough to change the course of the primaries and seeing them through the general thing. And running the people we would like to see thing. If we all just sit around and take whatever they’ll give. That’s on us.

Perhaps. Though it still hilariously transparent how many act like the Democrats are the problem and not the actual fascists. Democrats certainly aren’t the solution. They’re not even remotely the biggest threat either. One of these days after it’s far too late you all will get your priorities straight eventually. I mean even stalling eventually stood with the United States against his former Ally against Poland.
Things will continue to get worse till the voting populace finds solidarity. Fascists love it when we are divided. And many so-called leftists act like they are God’s gift if you politics despite having nothing to show for it. I hope you all have a chance to explain the people you failed. How it was important for you to maintain your ideological Purity than actually do anything to help anyone.
