    one or two issues

    Damn, I wonder what it was about the outreach to these people that failed. The Democratic attitude of addressing issues by minimizing or dismissing voter’s legitimate issues couldn’t possibly depress voter turnout. /s

    Fucking neoliberal brain-rot.

      Well gee, looks like you really showed those neolibs what for!

      And as I said before, one or two issues doomed all the issues. Some people can’t be bothered to give a fuck about long term consequences because they’re not excited enough about the party or some other excuse. I hope non-voters are happy with the outcome they voted for.

      ETA: you can think I’m a neolibs all you want to make you feel better about the awful outcome, but I can sleep well at night knowing that I tried to keep things from getting worse by CoMpRoMiSiNg My MoRaLs and voted for the Democrats because I didn’t want more genocide and I care about the people around me.

        I voted Kamala, but she and Biden let me down. It wasn’t one or two issues, it was a total breakdown of her campaign communication strategy. When you look at what apolitical idiot voters got from the media, it’s a wonder she didn’t lose by more.

        Part of that communication failure was in not taking serious issues seriously. People aren’t going to get off the couch for someone who summarily dismisses their legitimate outrage.
