“The problem was we were too left!”
Jesus Christ
Are they still saying that? I remember it right after the election, but I figured the polling data would have sunk in by now.
I saw a random on twitter say it and it made me mad. I don’t know how much that has to do with anything but you know how it goes
I like how the president (Trump) has basically unlimited power to get shit done, while on the other hand the president (Biden) has basically no power at all!
At least the dancing is fun

I’m not a yank, but I’m pretty sure the president is decided by the electoral college.
Citizen votes are just a barometer for popularity. The actual deciding power is firmly within bourgeoisie circles.
More or less. In theory people vote for “electors” who vote for their candidate in the electoral college. In practice there’s plenty of states where electors can ignore the will of the people with anywhere between no consequence to a fine and/or replacement.
Wiki: Faithless ElectorNot that the will of the people matters much in a country so thoroughly controlled by the bourgeoisie at so many levels to begin with.
X lost because fewer people voted for them
Actually your electoral system does not work like that
in 2016 le orange man got ~63 million votes while hillary cringeton got ~65.9 million votes
65.9 > 63
so “fewer people voted” for drumpf and yet he won
Could you explain to me how the people selected Kamala Harris to be on that ballot in the first place? Oh she was selected by a senile old man and approved by a shadowy cabal?
The regular cabal. The DNC is pretty open about it
Fair point. The non-shadowy cabal.
Can you explain the low voter turn out and the near identical policies of both parties?
Can you explain why Each dem president immediately talks about “reaching across the isle” the moment they get in power?
Can you explain the gutted educational system that leaves the public unable to make an informed vote?
Sorry sweetie, only one side says nice things about LGB
Tpeople.Did nothing to protect us when it mattered though. They’re so weak that it has to be on purpose.
Don’t worry. The Democrats will always care about the LG
BTcommunity.Hey, I thought their used to be a B and a T hmmm
Huh? The Democratic Party is a big tent. We welcome all people of the
LGBTcommunity. Unless you’re a republican 🤣 jkjk we love our colleagues across the aisle.
not necessarily true, but also you don’t get to pick who you CAN vote for in the first place.
Translation: Harris lost because she didn’t even try to capture the magic of Obama and promise anything different for her constituencies, that would convince Biden’s voters to back her, especially on Falastin.
Putting aside even the electoral college and who chose her as candidate anyway (the DNC).
blompf stole the election both times (i don’t actually know or care if that’s true, i’m just saying it now to get the libs fired up)
