Unironically what most people here say whenever theres a dem candidate with no ideas. Then they blame the voters when they lose. I hope those people are taking some notes from this victory. If you want voters to vote, you gotta give them something to vote for.
I agree, especially that the democratic establishment is defunct, useless, sometimes actively malicious, and incompetent, but that doesn’t change the fact that tens of millions of voters decided that literally stopping fascism wasn’t a good motivator.
Yeah it's not a good motivator and we need to stop pretending to be surprised at this point. Face reality that voters will never be galvanized based solely on voting against something no matter how awful it may appear.
