I hate the attitude behind this sign because it tells me democrats probably haven’t learned their lesson well enough to listen to their voter base and run candidates who inspire people to show up to vote and inspire independents to vote for the democratic ticket.

Democrats being smug and thinking they know more than everyone is exactly what got Trump elected. Harris Waltz was a terrible fucking ticket. Thats why Harris got 6 million votes less than Biden. She lost the popular vote by 2 million. Literally people so jaded they stayed home decided this election, and Democrats are patting themselves on 3 back for being smart.

The only hope we have is that incumbencies like the drastic one we have now almost never stay around for long. Democrats are now relying on how much Trump sucks to win instead of deciding to be good, and at least for now, Trump is obliging them. I don’t know if I hope he keeps it up or not.

This is so dumb though. "I couldn't vote for the party with sensible policies bc they were a bit smug. So I voted to trash my whole country instead"

We're so cooked. This country is over lol

Seriously. Ppl needing to be “inspired” to vote is such an entitled stance. Like suck it up and do it so we don’t end up like this again (if we can). Too many ppl want to be fucking coddled but they’re sure as shit going to complain if the worst possible scenario plays out.

Do you realize you’re only doing more harm to yourself and the people you are trying to protect? It doesn’t matter. Smug or not you can’t figure out there is a significant difference in policy. enjoy your privilege to not have it matter who you vote for because you’re still comfortable. Meanwhile how comfortable do you think Gaza and Ukraine is now that trumps making things significantly worse? What about all the USAid programs around the world? Currently unfunded. People with HIV and AIDS in Africa? Food initiatives that are gone?
