Sounds like the hot-potato-voter-shame-game is making the rounds again. If only the DNC put in half as much work getting elected as they do shifting blame, or its true-believers held the DNC half as accountable as the country’s voters.

Voters have shifted right because they’re hurting

I don’t believe this is the case.

• The Democratic Party took many steps rightward in Harris’ campaign (border security, death penalty, cheney).

• Trump barely increased his vote count from 2020, like mayyybe 40k more votes?

• 15 million Dem voters from 2020 didn’t vote at all this time rather more people voting R.

• Leftist voices within the DNC spoke urgently and stridently about the DNCs need to listen to its left base more or face backlash.

You got it backwards, the DNC misread the people and shifted to the right of its own base

Opinion: Authors that proclaim voters “need to be more educated” should maybe be forced to buy a book on how politics work… have always worked, since the beginning of time.

Then: as they quite clearly don’t know how to use a book properly they should shove that book as far up their asses as it can go.

The only way forward for the people of America is to leave both corrupted corporate parties behind.

🎶I don’t care i don’t vote blue Tuesday’s race was just for fools Neither party cares bout you It’s Friday, I’m in-game🎶

i used to as part of my weekend job working in an old hospital have to walk the breadth of it and at some point decided that i would try to use every single bathroom in the place. Over the course of months i found many cool nooks and quiet bathrooms but i never finished the mission because i found the PERFECT bathroom.

in the middle of an access hallway, up some narrow stairs, was a dead-end office. The only entrance was this one stairwell. Sun-facing windows looked out over the roof of the building and west, shining in on a bank of training computers. smell of warm dust and absolute quiet.

someone knew of it, cuz there was always toilet paper, but in my many trips to that special place i never saw a soul. Something about that place i can’t describe to you, the vibe, the feel. it was perfect. I abandoned my efforts to find better and instead would walk past other open bathrooms just to use that one again.

I still think about that room sometimes. Never been paid to poo in a better one.

If the DNC chair had an opinion worth considering then they already would have resigned in the disgrace and shame everyone else feels for them

My experience says it probably doesn’t matter however you choose to tell them but do tell them, as soon as you can. They’ll want input on your decisions you know. They’ll probably want you to fight this. They’ll probably ask a lot of you. They’ll demand you “waste away enduring treatment” But do tell them anyway, for them.

That’s what this is about, yeah? Just bite the bullet and do it, today. Get it out there. Then listen to them when they speak. Maybe you’ll change your mind. Maybe you’ll decide to fight. Maybe you will not. But don’t you keep it a secret, that’s against the rules. You made a deal with your family, don’t break it because you’re afraid of losing a fight you could win.

I dunno if it’s always the case but it can have long lasting effects on them if you don’t give them their chance to say goodbye. My wife (40) still has trouble with the shock and loss from 8 years old when her gramma kept her cancer from her family until the very end.

So ill shut up now, feel weird already talking so confidently bout something so personal to someone…So log off, buck up, and tell them. You know they’re gonna bug the shit out of you, but who knows, maybe they’ll convince you. Maybe during this trouble you all will find a deeper love together than you knew you could feel.

Obviously some Internet asswipe like me can’t be trusted with something so important. Don’t be afraid of their love, go tell em, right now. <3

Yeah if the DNC really gave as much credence to the vote power of racism and misogyny as they do when complaining about election losses, then why would they deliberately step on that landmine by selecting kamala only 8 years after HRC? It’s not like we think idealistic dreamers run the DNC right? That’s silly.

Why did Dems lose the Senate? Keep the house? Cuz its more than just Harris here… What we’re seeing is voter repudiation of the last 4 years.

Wait… This chart is hard to read. This chart is … “how much more important these issues are to people as a percentage, than they were as a percentage in 2020?”

really? I must be reading this wrong

I’m old i guess so ihadta look it up. Here you go my fellow wrinklies n squares!

Yeah I’m saving this thread this is good shit gotta check some of these innanet tips

If i know you and you’re in my general vicinity youre gonna be watching a YouTube video even if you’re married to someone else i’m a slut that way

My back says there’s a difference

Well, i’m just goin by how insurance ends up working in the us so take it for what it’s worth. Problem is for-profit insurance companies in the States are so badly regulated they are denying the very claims they exist to pay. You are right that people need help and i didn’t really offer an alternative. If you pressed me on how, i guess i’d advocate govt. assistance for disaster relief as a superior choice. It would be far better for citizens money to be spent on taxes towards this than to a private company. How do i know this? I don’t, but my experience how private insurance “serves” me and people i know here in the land of the free couldn’t be fuckin worse.

Response to citizens losing homes is funneling their dwindling reserves of money to insurance companies. Wonder who besides insurance companies and those they bribe thinks this is a good idea?

Game. Blouses

⅓!? My empty-wallet ass it’s only ⅓.

guess this one needed the /s homie. Oh well i gotchoo

Well the way i navigate thru conversations I’m having currently brings me to my history since i’m usually having more than one at a time an i need to know who’s replying to what. When one of those is an argument, noticing a bunch of single downvotes while passing thru my history causes air to erupt from my nose because it proves to me that someone I’ve got beef with is definitely malding.

The points don’t matter but the impotent effort they put in does, get me? It feels as close to a win as you’ll ever get on the 'net

I love it when i see a bunch of new downvotes in my history after an argument because i count every single one is a tear shed by my opponent
