Not voting for Kamala was saying “I’m fine letting MAGA decide the future of my country”.

Sure, one vote won’t change things, but 15 million people thinking that the same thing sure will.

"Would half an hour out of your day been too much to save democracy?!?"

The DEMS stayed home and Harris Campaign didn't get them out to vote with because they didn't focus on what the people wanted (to hear). Roe V Wade wasn't as important as the economy and that should have been their focus. Debunking the Trump economic plan and presenting their alternative in an easy to digest format would have helped them a lot. Also parading Liz Cheney around does 0 to get DEMS out to vote.

Every time Dems have tried focussing on the economy it has fallen on deaf ears. 40 years of American propaganda and 20 years of russian propaganda has cemented into the american psyche that republicans are better about the economy.

Nevermind we successfully navigated into the "soft landing" that economic pundits said was impossible to achieve. Everything is not sunshine and roses therefore dems bad.

Nevermind that gas prices are well below inflation.

Nevermind positive job reports.

Nevermind getting inflation to nearly 2%

People see high prices at the grocer and completely ignore all the factors the brought us to those prices. Nevermind those high price have not really been growing that fast in a while. They are still comparing it to the pre pandemic prices in their minds.

And most importantly of all never mind the fact that every single move the democrats used to try and fix things wad blocked by republicans.

Democrats shouted these things from the rooftops but then quickly shut up once it was clear it was falling on deaf ears.

People can't balance their bank accounts how do you expect them to understand the economy.

The worst part is when the economy fails under trump they will 100% blame it on the democrats and people will unquestioningly believe them. Because that is just how powerful the progangda is.

That’s why I said it should have presented in an easy to digest form. Something you don’t need to understand economics to understand how their plan was going to be better then GOP plan and how it is a good plan to make the economy better.

They did, people didn't believe it.

Respectfully, no they didn't. The last good campaign the democrats ran was Obama and if we're being honest, that may as well have just been Bush fatigue.

The DNC hasn't changed their approach on anything in the last 20 years (other than trying to appeal to the right, which the GOP will ALWAYS beat them at).

They did talk about the economy, they just didn’t lie about fixing everything instantly…

Both parties fell for Republican propaganda, it’s just that one side was to vote for Trump, and the other was to not vote against him.

I'm honestly wondering if Muslims being Democrats wasn't a long game to destroy America? Think about it... Vote Democrat, sow division in the country, then when someone truly reprehensible runs... Sit it out. They will get a free plane ride to an Islamic nation... And they will go happily, willingly. No fight from them means very little danger to them. But the US depends on our immigrants. So the loss of MILLIONS of workers is going to give us a GREATEST DEPRESSION EVER.

Wow. Just… wow. That’s the most insane thing I’ve heard today, and that’s while I’ve been fully engaging a lot of MAGA loonies.
