      Let’s blame everyone for everything they did wrong. Blaming people who did nothing before you blame the actual Trump voters is literally insane.

        People who weren’t energized enough by the perspective of Trump don’t count as citizens anyway. I don’t know what type of energy you personally wanted, but nothing will work on those who saw Trump’s shitshow and decided to sit this one out because Kamala didn’t dance enough or whatever

          I think people were more tired because Kamala was dancing too much. As in, she and Biden were just there for show and didn’t really accomplish much. I did vote for her, but it wasn’t because of anything they did.

            It might be because you didn’t pay attention to what the administration actually did. There is a problem that US citizens fundamentally don’t know what the president can or can’t do and what the processes are.

              My main concern always has been and always will be Climate Change. His BBB program was never going to address that in a serious way.

              It would have been nice to have more efforts reuniting those separated families that happened during Trump.

              For me, the economy comes in way behind those issues.

                I recently looked specifically for info on the separated kids, and all I could quickly find was an article saying the Biden administration had re-united several hundred families, but without any estimate of how many remained probably -permanently separated. Do you know a source for actual numbers on this?

      No, blame Biden and his stupid arrogance.

      The man knows his brain is melting AND he knows his presidency is unpopular, but sure, he’s going to waste months of campaign time and tens of millions of dollars, and then, to make it even better, he’s going to make sure no one in the Democratic Party tries to react to it like a reasonable person and politician.

        Biden made plenty of mistakes but ultimately the people who didn’t vote are the most directly responsible, full stop.

          The people who voted for Trump are obviously the most directly responsible, full stop with parking brake.

          The democrats knew genocide decreases voter turnout. They did it anyway. The democrats knew ending covid protections, banning tiktok, restarting student loan repayments, etc all lower voter turnout. They did it anyway.

          You can wish that we lived in a world where these things didn’t lower voter turnout, but that’s not productive.

          Only the democrats had the power to change the outcome of this election.
