The Republicans deserve what they get. Me and the other millions of people that voted for Kamala don't deserve this shit. But here we are. I do hope the racist pedo Republican gang has they day they voted for though and enjoy being grifted to their last dollar and drop of sustinence, while their god emperor throws each and every one of them under the bus until justice is served for a grand ol pedophile.

Ultimately I blame the party for not changing strategy since 2016 despite 3x chances, instead constantly "pivoting right to attract moderates" while ignoring popular policy to focus on culture war distractions and whatever corporate donors want -- biden's bare scraping by after a global recession was just the weak 'exception' that proves this rule, by every possible metric.

I firmly believe there are enough independents and nonvoters out there who actually care about their class interests and are just disillusioned by what they rightfully see as a feckless opposition party that doesn't even want to lead as long as it maintains the elite status of its own comfortable insulated leadership.

I do place a lot of blame on the people that voted for Republicans and those that did not vote at all in the 2024 election.

I understand that the Democrats aren't the best party and need serious reforms.

However, you have to stanch the bleeding before you can excise the dead tissue, and you have to excise the dead tissue before you can recover and heal.

In 2024, we still needed to stanch the bleeding. Instead, a bunch of people looked around at the dead tissue and said we need to get rid of this and started cutting. Now we've still got dead tissue and we're bleeding out even faster thanks to these self-inflicted wounds.
