    Trump voters voted for him because they love him, not because they vote red no matter who.

    That said, I’m pretty sure voting is over and we’re not going to be doing that shit anymore.

    Time to do something else.

      That’s exactly been my point. He can do anything he wants and still gets the pass. We do not have that person, and are weak because of it.

      And y’all, looking for that someone to love in response and not accepting anything less, let the man who will cause untold amounts of pain and suffering to who knows how many more people have free reign.

      Most everyone voting for Harris wanted the genocide to end. And we would have had the leverage after the election to make change. Especially if you guy would join our side and help be that positive change. Guarantee we would have backed you as nobody wants to see dead babies.

      But now that’s not possible. The time to do something else is absolutely correct. The time to hunker down and prepare for the worst while waiting for it all to drop in here. Thanks to your fractured support

        He gets a pass because he wants the same things and they like the things he does. The fact that they’re getting their faces eaten by leopards is a price they’re willing to pay, because ultimately what they want is to hurt people. It’s grievance politics, their political dreams only revolve around revenge.

        Democrats want different things. If Democrats had a candidate that wanted the same stuff as the base and did stuff the base liked, they’d be popular too.

        And what did the Party do?

        They sabotaged their only popular candidate in the 2016 and 2020 primaries, and Democrats were forced to vote for a candidate they didn’t like to stop the Republican. It worked in 2020 because of COVID, but without a national crisis it’s not possible for Democrats to win this way.

        It’s the Party’s fault. Place blame where it belongs.

        And we would have had the leverage after the election to make change.

        Y’all said the same shit about Biden in 2020 and it wasn’t true. They already got our votes. All of our leverage was gone.

        Once they win they can tell us to pound sand.

        The time to hunker down and prepare for the worst while waiting for it all to drop in here.

        So your plan is to wait around and do nothing.

        The usual plan, then. That’s all you ever do.
