Nope. You’ve got it EXACTLY backwards.
The Left implored the Dem leadership to learn from their past mistakes and listen to their base.
In response, the Dem leadership refused to listen and their apparatchiks everywhere, including on Lemmy, called the Left Trump fans, false flag operatives and a ton of other bullshit.

They replaced him because he got bulldozed on national television and it became apparent the 25th amendment should have been used in 2023. They had polling that Trump would take 400 electoral votes and waited another month to dump everything on Harris with no warning and all the strings.
If requiring the candidate to be a functional person is “people complaining” then you need to seriously re-examine your standards.
Fixed that for you. The left had been complaining about him being out of touch since the 2020 primaries, but the leadership ignored it. It was only when the rich donors and their spokeswoman turned that he listened.
Still got it backwards. Do you think BIDEN would have won? 2024 Biden? Please tell me you’re not THAT delusional.
Being taken seriously and listened to at all ≠ perfection.
Newsflash: politicians are paid to attract voters by representing the will of the people. That’s supposed to be what their job is.
Voters are not paid for voting and often face significant difficulties in doing so. On top of that, they’re not being listened to by the people supposed to represent their interests.
Setting aside for a moment that the alternative is literal fascism and thus objectively much worse, do you REALLY think that it’s the voters that deserve the majority of the blame here, not the ones who failed at their job? Really?

Barely. Against a disastrously performing incumbent.
Since them being absolutely awful at their job is the main reason WHY that happened, yes. I absolutely want to “cry” about their immense incompetence and how your deflection of blame away from them just keeps them from ever having to be any better than “just barely not a fascist”. FUCK that!
Fuck this too. I can explain it for you, and I have, but I can’t understand it for you. Have the day you deserve.
Voters are voters. Most of them are woefully uneducated and so tuned out that they couldn’t tell you how our government works let alone how it’s impacting them or who would run it best. That’s not going to change no matter how much you scream at them. You can’t hold them to a higher standard than politicians whose literal job is to build a coalition and inspire the people to join it. The Dems have failed miserably at that since Obama.
