That’s what they told me in 2008 too. Then Obama won, and spent 8 years acting exactly like Bush. If the Democrats want their credibility back they need to give us more than just fear of the alternative. They failed and we’re all paying the price.
They’ve learned literally nothing since 2016, same tired Playbook over and over, kill progressive campaigns, neuter those that win regardless, blame progressives when nothing materially changes for the populace and they don’t vote for the DNCs annoited candidate. Rinse and repeat
Here’s the thing, that line of argument does absolutely nothing to invigorate people to vote at this point, you’re just shitting on people for having principles and offering nothing besides “the other side is worse”. Sorry it’s clearly not a winning message, I voted in all but 2016 for dems, holding my nose, but I understand why others do not.
Many people didn’t choose either, simply didn’t vote because they were not enabled or invigorated to do so.
We’ll have to see if Trump actually can end democracy, but trying to pretend the democrats did everything right is laughable, maybe look deeper into why people voted Trump beyond “they’re all racists/misogynists” the answer is he spoke to their perceived version of reality and provided answers and a path “forward”.
It’s all lies and he’s absolutely going to enrich himself and his buddies more then the country but when Harris can’t firmly differentiate herself from Biden, have a frank discussion about the issues we are facing, and provide a transformative view of the future for the better, it’s no surprise a lot of people stayed home.
Alright pal. Go ahead and try to threaten people into voting blue again in 28, we’ll see how that goes. After all it was super successful in 16 and 24, right?

It’s a shame too, Harris would have been ok for a lukewarm neo liberal.

People who chose fascism over democracy have no principles lol And why would I invigorate people to vote? There wont be another election lol

I did vote, and it didn’t do shit. Turns out lots of people want a platform more robust than “vote for me or die”
