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?
Maybe it isn't the fault of kids who oppose genocide... But it has to do with genocide joe and kamalacaust supporting a genocide?
Boy, you really shoehorned that in.
Are you disputing that there's a genocide against Palestinians? Are you disputing the Biden administration's singular role in facilitating that genocide? Do you disagree that genocide is the worst crime mankind is capable of, short of perhaps total nuclear annihilation of all life? I'm not a "single issue" voter, but boy, if I had to pick one issue, it'd be fucking genocide. I honestly don't know how you people live with yourselves.
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.
"You were handed a choice by the same system committing genocide, it's on you to unquestioningly accept that choice and not seek any alternative, thereby guaranteeing all manner of crimes against humanity will continue indefinitely. I think this because I'm incapable of understanding that both parties supporting genocide completely discredits any theory about their political independence."
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...
