Jebus, stop trying to find a single group to blame, it’s the entire god damn American public that’s at fault.

White, Latino, Blacks, Asians, men, women, Catholics, Mormons, Muslims, atheists, Republicans, Democrats, progressives, everyone in America knew who Trump and Republicans are and screwed the pooch and the entirety of America.

    If there’s a single group responsible it’s the Democrats.

    They’re trying to cast blame around because if they can pin it on anyone else then they won’t have to change. The problem of course is this time around so many people from different demographics stayed home that it’s hard to pin point any one group. The closest would be the Arab American group in Michigan, but they didn’t actually enter the equation. Michigan always required other states to win as well.

    So it’s the Democrats. It turns out hugging war criminals, gaslighting the public on the economy and deriding critics as Russian Shills (Pelosi laid that one on), was not a winning strategy.

    To be fair to Harris, she made an outstanding run. The problem was the systemic issues had already set in by the time she took over. The convention was already 90 percent planned, the war chest was mostly allocated, and the staff were all the ones that had been blowing smoke at Biden.

    So when I say The Democrats, like a conspiracy theorist uses the word “They”, I mean it. It was the party insiders who didn’t tell Biden he was having trouble in 2023. It was the party insiders who pushed for support of Netanyahu. It was party insiders who couldn’t properly message the victories Biden did have.

    The Democrats need to have a very big reckoning in a very small window of time. And it looks like they’re taking the wrong message. With hand ringing over “purity tests” and minority rights. Independent voters didn’t refuse to vote Dem because of high school athletes. They just want an economy that actually works for them. That’s it. After decades of loss in real wages the hierarchy of needs is down to food and shelter. They honestly do not care if the football team has to let a trans person play.
