Thanks to the campaign and candidates that were so bad they failed to motivate enough voters. Most people aren’t glued to politics and it’s the parties job to go to where those people are and get them interested. Harris, Biden, and the dems failed horribly at doing that
If voters needed additional motivation to vote against that, it’s entirely their fault. “You didn’t convince me enough so now I’m going to kill you”, a line that a cartune villain would say, and we all understand that it’s villain. But " you didn’t convince me enough so I vote for that one who is going to kill millions" is apparently an OK take
Most people aren’t glued to politics. It’s the job of the campaign to get people’s attention and give them a reason to vote. They clearly failed at that because they lost. You can blame human nature but a good campaign takes human nature into account and this campaign was not a good one.
Do you want to win or do you just want to blame the people? If you want to win you have to find a way to motivate them whether they are being reasonable or not
Do you give up because people aren’t reasonable? Or do you find a way to appeal to them despite that?
If you pick giving up then you’re letting fascism win
It’s frustrating to have to support a party that doesn’t understand how to run a popular campaign. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this. The dems will always kowtow to big donors instead of proposing policy that will make average people’s lives better
It’s the people’s responsibility to go out and vote. It doesn’t take much time to look up each candidate. If you have the slightest preference for one candidate, then go out and vote! No need to be glued at politics to do this.
If you don’t want to take this responsibility, fine, but then don’t complain that you don’t like the result.
The perspective that your just outlined lost this election. Do you want to beat fascism? If so you have to gain the interest of people who didn’t come out in this election. If the stakes are really that high are you gonna lecture people or appeal to them?

Dont copy paste shit in multiple comments, first of all. Supremely lazy.
Secondly, no. There is a certian point where a reasonable person votes against something, and we were way past that point

At no point did I suggest giving up, it’s just frustrating to have such a slapdash coalition

That’s like the same energy of
“Do you want pizza or lasagna?”
“I don’t care. Pick whatever”
“Ok I got lasagna for you then”
“No I don’t want lasagna. I want pizza! Why didn’t you try harder to make me choose pizza?”
American people are responsible for voting for Trump. Not the Democratic Party.
You’re gonna give up in the face of fascism. It must not matter to you that much
