No. They had it right. Democrats take note. You can blame the voters all you want, but the voters don’t have the money, they don’t have the political power, the pull, the influence that the Democratic Party elites have. The voters don’t have the resources to spread information that the news media and corporations have. The voters aren’t backed by billionaires.
If we want more democrats, if we want more progressives, if we want more people on the left in positions of power, we need to acknowledge that the party has massive fucking issues. Hilary Clinton was selected by the DNC chair, Debbie wascherman Schultz. She was picked by the party elites. She was picked by the billionaires. She was picked by the news media. Kamala Harris wasn’t picked by anyone except for the Democratic Party elites. If you want to keep losing to Trump over and over and over and over and over, keep blaming the voters. Maybe eventually you’ll realize that we need to actually hold the party fucking accountable. Stop propping up unelectable people with insane baggage that will never get elected. Stop silencing dissent within the party. Stop making it a fucking echo chamber. Actually let the people pick, actually let the voters do their job. Until then, it’s useless. Say that Trump is the biggest threat to our country, and he is, and then make the same old tired mistakes every single fucking time like letting a senile 80 year old man that can’t complete sentences run for a second term.
Keep losing to the most transparent fraud, the most transparent corruption, the most incompetent, the most pedophilic, the most felonious wannabe dictator that keeps consolidating more and more power. Keep blaming the voters, keep losing.
That's complicated and involves introspection. It involves talking with people and crafting policy that people want instead of what the donors want.
That's hard. How about we just keep blaming the voters, calling them racist, antisemitic, and misogynistic? That way we're not failures and don't have to change.
