Lay it off with blaming people who are mad at Democrats about Gaza for Trump. Honestly, it's tired, inaccurate, and wrong. Trump won the popular vote. The Dems ran a shitty campaign, they had no message, and failed to inspire 10 million of their previous voters.
Why? That category of people objectively exists and that category of people objectively chose this and that category of people objectively made an illogical decision against their own interests. Nowhere in the meme is it saying "all voters are in this category", it's simply indicating this category of voter exists which is objectively true.
Because it absolves the Democratic Party of its responsibility. They said this election was about preserving democracy. Then they didn't do EVERYTHING THEY COULD to get every last person hyped to vote for them. Instead, they complacently chose to ignore the legitimate concerns of a whole number of constituencies. They offered nothing to counter Right Populism. No grand vision, nothing to inspire anyone. They even leashed Walz, for fuck's sake. They let Trump waltz around in Michigan pandering to muslims while either doing fuck all or kicking their own muslim democratic leaders out of their rallies. The. Democrats. Fucked. Up. Stop blaming the voters, blame the Democrats. Otherwise, if your country has fair elections in 4 years, you'll have the same fucking problem all over again.
Even better, after all of this, highly influential members of the Democratic Party, like Nancy Pelosi, have the gall to give interviews and respond to voters and other elected officials criticizing the campaign by saying the the campaign was perfect. There is no real desire amongst the Democratic leadership to do anything more than this.
