    You can’t berate people into voting the way you want. That is the lesson the DNC needs to learn if they actually want to win.

    Social media trolls could do to realize that too.

      Yeah. Obviously not all of America voted, and many of Biden’s voters didn’t show up for Harris. But of those who did vote, Trump fucking won. Trump didn’t more votes, Democrats got less. Maybe they could learn a lesson about actually caring or even fucking pretending to care about people struggling to get by.

      I think it’s a little disingenuous to describe the mood as “berating people into voting the way you want”.

      The US, the leader of the free world, is now a fascist dictatorship.

      I’m very frustrated, worried, and angry. When discussing it with people who did not take action to avoid this outcome, it’s very difficult for that frustration not to leak out.

      As I recall, there were fuck-tons of blowhard tankie trolls berating everyone and accusing anyone voting democrat of being “gEnoCiDe sUpPoRtErS” and that everyone should either vote for dipshit unknown, untested, 3rd party clowns, or not vote at all.

      So… I took a look around and yeah… there’s no high road for you here.

      This is correct, the right is already blinded by anger; telling them how stupid they are only makes them dig the hole deeper. If people want to change the way those people vote the only solution is redirecting their anger.

      The entire dnc seems to be blind or dumb with their approach in the last 3 elections. It’s all algorithmic, the Dems appeal to intellectuals but their message is too old school to get those uneducated voters who cling to a single issue to even listen. Get fucking angry, show some humanity, entertain, drive views, algorithm pushes your content, you brainwash the idiots instead of letting your opposition. Sure it’s grimy, but it’s better than spreading your cheeks and saying “they wouldn’t because of decorum!”

        i dont necessarily agree with this, it’s going to make things worse, sure abuse the environment while you can, the kamala campaign literally did that, and it worked great. It just didn’t provide turnout.
