    The report: everything we were screaming into the void from 2023 till 2024.

    The report is moot other than the fact they trying to bury it because anyone with two twigs to run together knows the answer, knew it before it happened, knew it while it was happening, and knows it now.

    Trump was easily beatable in 2024 and Dems blew it at every turn.

    You want to see the roadmap for beating Trump?

    Sort c/politics by controversial and read the top five threads of comments.

    It’s all there in black and white, in no uncertain terms. And the shitlibs who insisted we take the worst strategy turns possible (and advocating for them in those threads)…they mostly jumped ship (santanko and squid being notable examples).

    It’s also worth nothing how many voices who go their analysis at the time basically correct at the time it would have mattered, how many of them are banned from politics as a whole. There was a clear moderation effort made to cultivate a specific type of conversation here.

      If genocide isn’t a red line then there are no red lines, every lib that voted for blue no matter who should be in the Hague along with the rest of the murderers

        I guess the millions starving because USAID got cut isn’t a red line.

        Or all the undocumented immigrants in the US getting rounded up into camps, some whisked away to who knows where, also isn’t a red line.

        Or women losing their bodily autonomy on the first go around, due to SCOTUS being cemented as conservative for the rest of our lives.

        Or trans people fearing for their lives and being unable to flee the US because their passport will get scrutinized.

        Or virtually all environmental regulations in the US getting cut so now we contribute more intensely to our cooking planet.

        All of this is not only not a redline, its preferable. Because the shitlibs must be punished, right?

        I don’t think I will ever understand you. I don’t even know if you’re real. What are you trying to accomplish?

          The sole purpose of USAID was for regime change and the illusion of aid needed caused by US actions

          Dems had 50 years and multiple opportunities to protect women’s rights and did nothing but raise money off that fear.

          The first 2 months of Bidens war in Gaza released the equivalent of 275k tons of burning coal, not so concerned about the environmental pact of that.

            I’m sure now that USAID is shut down the regime change will stop. The millions of starving people clearly were a necessary sacrifice.

                  They wouldn’t be starving if the US stayed out of their politics. The US creates the circumstances to destabilize their economies, overthrow their governments then come in with USAID to assist as if they didn’t cause the problem.

                    OK, even if I agreed with you fully, this doesn’t really refute the fact that USAID being obliterated is still causing unnecessary harm that could have been avoided had Harris won.

          I voted third party. The allure of being hated by the entire country for my voting decisions is too compelling to pass up.

          Man… how many bricks to the side of y’all’s head do we have to take to get you to understand that a) an election isn’t about individual choice, and b) telling people what to do with their votes is counter productive.

          If you were doing in 2023/24 what you are doing now, with that comment: You’re why fascism won.

          You aren’t part of the collective that got it right. You’re being the shit lib who handed the world to the fascists.

            Saying something over and over doesn’t mean its true.

            That said, I hate both the DNC and the non-voters. I can do both. If free will exists, then I can blame both. (I mean I don’t believe in free will, but on an emotional level fuck both anyway, I don’t owe either of them shit.)

                I voted for them for tactical purposes. Both because at the time I cared about the well being of my fellow human beings and I care about my own well being. These days I’m not so sure I care about humans or even myself. I’m still grappling with the point of it all now that we’re doomed.

                I understand that tactics aren’t likely your strong suit, so let me make it clear: I do not have to love the democrats as a party to vote for them. I just have to have a basic grip on reality that it was either them or fascism. Because its first past the post we are dealing with.

                  it was either them or fascism

                  Who do you think helped prop up and build the foundations for fascism? That’s what your tactics resulted in.

                    There are many ways to interpret this response. Some are reasonable (HRC did pied piper because she thought it’d help her win) and some are unhinged and stupid (Liberals are fascists).

                    My tactics were to vote in primaries (when they were available…) for progressive dems. I voted for Bernie Sander’s twice. But then I voted HRC and Biden, and Harris when they were the liberal slop candidates that we got. Because the alternative was helping a fascist win.

                    My tactics were to canvass, advocate, donate time and money to progressive causes. And when the progressives did not fucking win the primaries, I gritted my teeth and did the same for the centrist dems.

                    And you know what, sure. Those tactics failed, because US citizens on average are completely selfish and stupid pieces of shit. I don’t owe your glorious revolution my life. I did not choose to be here in this hellscape, that your own advocacy helped create.

        You want to try people at the hague for voting against fascism? That sounds like something a fascist would say.

        What about the people who refused to vote against it, do you just want to give them a pass?
