Trump got the same votes as last time basically.

Democrats didn't show up. Again.

I think too many of them felt complacent in the idea that Trump couldn't win..

Do you think it has nothing to do with perpetually online kids screaming the word "genocide" all over the internet like they know what they're talking about?

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

No that's probably a lot to do with it.

Given all the "We're staying home because Kamala's bad for Palestine.... Wait Trump won? But he's WORSE for Palestine, how could this happen!?!?!"

Yeah...

If you think the people who don't like seeing American bombs ripping children apart day in and day out were enough to swing the vote, don't you think the democrats should have listened to us?

You had the choice between bad and worse. not an appealing choice. but everyone knew those who liked the orange monkey would go vote. so not voting, in protest against bad is a vote for worse.

so yes, the democrats in usa have lost the connection to their base. however, this doesn't give anyone able to vote, the right to blame them for an elected baboon.
