        By definition, voters caused that. Enjoy the consequences, I guess. In 6 years they will vote for republicans again anyway.

        Democrats don’t really have clear messaging. Are we pro Muslim? Are we pro LGBT? Are we pro Marxism? Pro working class? Where do we stand on taxes? Equality? DEI? At this point I could tell you a lot more about what we’re against.

          I like how the replies to this message are almost identical, starting word for word the same. Some needs to increase the temperature a little bit.

          Being against burning the country and all alliances just to make 6 people rich is enough of a message for me Ina 2 party system. As a bonus on top, not hating mexicans, muslims and gays. I know it sounds like a low bar, but bar is very much that low.

      What caused the president to win, was forcing uneectable candidates on the dems and then shouting down all criticism of them, as if pretending they aren’t worthless worked.

      Get off your high horse, we knew what the republicans were, and what the democrats were, and we trusted the opposition to what is beyond any doubt the Controlled Opposition of the Oligarchy.

      Anyone with a brain would’ve known anointed kamala with no contest was handing the election to the now president. Everyone. Oh, you weren’t one? What does that say about your understanding?

      No offense but I don’t want to wade through your shit again forcing another doomed to fail dem on us.

        What caused the president to win is people voted for him. After 4 years of scandals, corruption and a million deaths. Appealing to “anyone with a brain” is a losing strategy.

        It’s there all the time, you just don’t notice when popular media hasn’t primed your brain to tune into politics every two years.

          I am very interested in politics year around, and as a small reminder: the world exists out of america, each country with their own elections. The two year cycle is just in the US. There’s also popular media outside of the us.
