IMO it doesn't matter if you do a 3rd party protest vote if you're not in a swing state. The system is fundamentally broken by design

There seems to be a ton of finger pointing from liberals (mostly outside of leemy). Trump won on promises to gullible fools on literally making cost of living cheaper (this includes fascist and non fascist talking points)

The dems lost on not conveying their solutions to cost of living well and of course not taking a stand against the faction of war and genocide that many of them are actively working for or with.

A lot of establishment dems are just mad it's not their brand of authoritarianism

When genocide is bipartisan consensus in a country, the lesser evil is the destruction of that country

Vote For The Lesser Fascist next time, dipshit.

Nothing wrong with voting 3rd party. Blame the people who don't vote/vote for the side you don't like.

I can see how people might see voting 3rd party as functionally equivalent to not voting when it comes to one-round FPTP systems, though. It's better from a deontological standpoint, yes. But consequence-wise it's more/less the same result as not voting, if I understood it correctly.

Normally i wouldnt mind this and would agree with you. But not on the only candidate we've ever had that has begged to be made king and actively tried to violently over throw the system

this garbage again. now it’s voter fault that they forced a superpac shill who told the voters to stfu while bombing kids in refugee camp and let megacorps fck working class. this time they didn’t even bothered with a sham primary like hillary or biden.

all mainstream dems other than aoc, warren and bernie are still spitting on its base. has harris or dem leadership done one thing to change their stance or support its people after election ?

keep voting lesser evil and you will keep getting two faced snakes with better propaganda.

Why are you whining about these shitlibs who won’t change their view? You won’t get centrist Democrats moving to you. You need to replace these people through primaries.

Is that the excuse not to vote, if you’re in that country? So you got something to whine about?

Aren’t there primaries going on now? If so and you haven’t, why aren’t you voting for or helping out your chosen candidate, one who isn’t a shitlib?

This was all over Lemmy, too, along with all the other social media platforms.

It pretty much disappeared everywhere the instant trump won, as well as the complaints about grocery prices and the lies about gas prices.

The exception was lemmy, prob thanks to hex, grad, and ml, where people still find the time to randomly inject democrat hate.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

Have you seen the polls on the popularity of the Democratic Party?

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 13 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Liberals pretending like Democrats hate magically disappeared after the election lol

I remember arguing for days, in 2024, that the whole "Democrats are bad because Palestine" thing was clearly a psyop by Russian bots trying to mess with the election. I really need to improve my persuasion skills. Like by a lot.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 10 points 12 hours ago

“Democrats are bad because Palestine” thing was clearly a psyop by Russian bots

By "Palestine" do you mean "supporting genocide in Palestine"?

[–] LLMhater1312@piefed.social 139 points 22 hours ago (6 children)

Pretty sure Democrats doing nothing to stop the genocide in gaza was a factor to their detriment in the election, bots aside

[–] manxu@piefed.social 113 points 22 hours ago (81 children)

Even knowing that Trump was going to actively help Bibi? That's the thing I didn't understand: sure, the Democrats were not doing much to stop the slaughter, but from the previous Trump administration we knew Trump was going to actively help.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 hours ago

In terms of any actual metric, Biden was as bad if not worse than Trump in Gaza, but because BlueMAGA were engaging in mass genocide denial when it was their team doing it, they don’t realise.

I mean, the democrats ARE bad because Palestine. But the Republicans are worse, by A LOT.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 10 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

Harris saw a 6M vote undercount relative to Biden. You can argue all the reasons why, but you can't deny Democrats would have won if they'd been as popular in 2020 as they were in 2024.

It's bizarre to see people insist this collapse in support has nothing to do with the policies of the party people stopped liking.

In the same vein, there's a real hard November coming for the GOP this year. Their incompetence is going to cost them.

Is there any possible way to disagree with you that you won't read as a Russian bot trying to undermine democracy?

It's such a thought-terminating cliche that anyone can use to dismiss any criticism. I could just as easily say that you're a DNC bot. Like, fuck critical thinking, I guess.
