    It’s true.

    Democrats are fucking stupid. The voters told you what they wanted, and it was affordability and no more WMD’s for Israel, and Dems concluded it was too much to ask. Of course people didn’t want to fucking vote for you.

        Thankfully this is starting to change, albeit not fast enough. AIPAC tried to mess with a congressional primary in NJ (NJ 11); they threw all their weight behind trashing one of the “moderate” candidates they felt wasn’t pro-Israel enough, thinking their pro-Israel candidate would win. Instead, Analilia Mejia won, and she’s not an Israel supporter at all, very progressive.

            I dunno what it is about hardliners, but they always seem to gravely misjudge the negative downstream impacts of their actions. Hopefully this groundswell continues against them.

      Not only that, Democrats were being useless at best damaging at worst, babies dying and baby formula shortages, inflation and proven price gouging, continuing government contracts with Amazon while Amazon was quelling unions, forcing rejected contracts on railroad workers, letting private equity buy up all the hospitals, housing becoming unaffordable, being pro-police, supporting big tech low regulation companies, supporting Liz Cheney, talking about loving guns, losing Roe v Wade, Used car prices were skyrocketing, Promised marijuanna users would be released from prison but didn’t, made solar panels more expensive, student loans being out of control and college costs skyrocketing with subsidizing that being the only “solution “, letting reporters be killed by Israel, drone striking and funding massive military spending. What even is the Democrat base? What single issue voter did they NOT alienate? Maaaaybe the LGBT, Atheists, No Trump and Science Grant crowd?

      TLDR: Dems before the election alienated XWorkers XFarmers XCollege students XPro-Choice XGun Control XNo War XUnions XMarijuanna Users XMuslims XEnvironmentalists XMothers X People who wanted a house in the future XPeople who wanted action X People who hate Omnibus legislation and big government spending (a smaller portion of democrats for sure.)

      (I still voted for Harris not that it matters in a red or blue state)

        Arguing with people who don’t realize this or remember it is tiring. My dudes, they’ve also been voting FOR Trump appointees. So much for being “The Resistance.” Their message has been “we’re not as bad as them!” for decades now. They’re losing because they’ve lost touch with their voters. Who aren’t wealthy, who are struggling to feed themselves and family while not being GQP/MAGAts. Biden even said you NEEDED Republicans in a speech for crying out loud.
