I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

    The people who point out that the emperor is naked aren’t responsible for the emperor being naked.

        I never told anyone to support a fascist, I asked the emperor to put on some clothes in order to be able to beat the fascist. The emperor stayed naked and lost.

            Listen, pal, if I had this much power over the electorate, we’d have universal healthcare. I appreciate how highly you seem to think of me, though. I think it’s much, much more likely that the democrats fucked this up completely on their own than some random people on Lemmy and Mastodon derailing their entire campaign. Though, if all it took to cause the democrats to lose was for a few people on Lemmy and Mastodon to point out that their policy plank sucked, it sounds like they ran a really terrible campaign.

                No, yeah, you’re right. It couldn’t be the fact that the people promising the biggest changes, for better or worse, have won the last five elections. It must be that internet leftists cyberbullied the democrats to death.
