For nine years, Democrats abandoned all else to focus on one thing: keeping Donald Trump out of office. In the process, they sidelined working-class concerns, lost crucial voters, and still failed — not once, but twice — to accomplish their singular goal.

    Once again:

    • Fascists promise to do fascist things
    • Americans vote for fascists
    • Elected fascists do fascist things
    • How could Democrats do this???

      You missed a couple of steps, no biggie:

      • Fascists promise to do fascist things
      • Americans vote for fascists
      • Elected fascists do fascist things
      • Fascists go unpunished because of the Democrats
      • Elected fascists do fascist things
      • How could Democrats do this???

        Where do you think the fascists get the political capital to be able to do whatever they want with impunity? The fucking voters.

          Yes, but how do (a good proportion of) voters decide who they support? They look at what the two parties do. And this is what the Democrats did: not even close to enough.

    Did they really? Who were these Democrats who focused on keeping Trump out of office?

    Were it the ones who wouldn’t stop talking about him? The ones giving him free advertisement? Or was that the press? Were it the ones who refused to make policies that people were interested? WHO!?

    Y’all love Trump. Don’t even pretend.

      Both Clinton and Harris ran on “I’m not Trump!” but when the public responds “Yeah, we know!” you need to have something else.

      Clinton was “Well, it’s my turn.”

      Harris was “I’m just like Biden.”

      The past POTUS term was like a wet blanket being dropped on a large fire.

      Ok, it stopped the biggest flames, but since the blanket was never worked further, it left the entire firepit smoldering for four years, then R won and yesterday pulled the blanked off and poured a tank of petrol on the smouldering fire.

        Not like there wasn’t collision between Trump and Bibi so that the Dems couldn’t been seen to solve the Israel situation and have a lot of people angry of his policies vote for the orange arse instead.

    Just maintaining the rule of law should have been enough. Didn’t trump just brag about musk manipulating the voting machines in Pennsylvania?

    All the democrats had to do was enforce the law while in power, and they failed to do so. The monied interests in America wanted fascism, and it was handed to them on a silver platter.
