    It’s the voters who voted for Trump. It’s that simple.

    Although I didn’t have ”Trump ending the Israel Palestine conflict by making Palestine American” on my bingo card, it was always super obvious that Trump is way more pro Israel than Kamala. If you thought otherwise you didn’t pay attention at all.

      Trump had the same number of votes this time as he did in 2020. He didn’t win, the Democrats lost because they had nothing to offer people other than “we aren’t Trump!”. It was a losing strategy in 2016 when the economy was sort of functioning and it only worked when Trump was in power and the morgues were overflowing with dead bodies. Now that the economy is shit for anyone naking less than $200,000 a year, it was a loser again. All the Democrats than ran on “centrist” platforms lost while those offering actual changes like M4A, housing reform, and ending money in politics safely won reflection.

      Yeah, but blaming then is obviously pointless. It makes sense to blame the ones that could have prevented this: the Democratic Party and the ones who didn’t vote democrat.

        I think you can just blame the democratic party. People shouldn’t be blamed for not voting for garbage genocidal candidates and their wacky condescending fanboys.
