The election pisses me off so much. They obviously rigged it a lot, so much that trump got mad because he didn't win as strongly as he wanted.

And the dems just gave up before election night was even over. Fuckers

You get it 100%. Nothing pisses me off more than DEMS saying Kamala was a bad candidate, and lost. She was actually a decent candidate, far better than Biden was, and she ran a strong campaign, and went into Election Day clearly winning the Enthusiasm Gap.

Trump got reelected because his followers were willing to support his baseless claims that the 2020 election was rigged for an entire four year term. As you pointed out, Dems couldn't even hold it together through the end of election night. Disgraceful.

That's why I've been an Unaffiliated Independent since I registered to vote 50 years ago this month. I find both parties to be corrupt and incompetent, and I don't want to be part of either club.

When racism and misogyny is on the upswing in an election, they fielded a black woman that was an early (the first?) dropout in the previous term's nomination race, and then vigorously courted the conservative vote via Liz Cheney for some gods unknown reason at the end of the campaign.

If democrat operatives aren't actively trying to sabotage the Democrat Party, I don't know how you interpret it. They'll trip on their own dicks and find someone even less likely to appeal to centrists and alienate leftists next go around, so the Christian Nationalist Party has half a chance.

I'm convinced that some of these people have been bought, there's no other explanation. MAGA has a virtually unlimited spigot of money, and EVERYBODY has a price. If the word came in that Schmuck Schumer could be bought for a billion bucks, he'd have it by lunchtime.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Chucklefuck Schumer is already in AIPACs pocket, so MAGA doesn't need to worry about that one. He gets his marching orders to make the Democrats look as bad as possible to as many people as possible through them.

He was just an example, you could put nearly any elected official's name in his place.

Exactly brother.
Also, Ive been registered Republican for twenty years, just in case something happens and they use lists. Just in case.

That's a valid strategy that I've considered, just so I can vote in primaries, and vote for the candidate they hate the most.

After trump i refuse the do that. He used to be the worst candidate. There's just no way to know which of the scammers are going to be promoted at the end of the day.

I never voted for him. But i learned the lesson he taught us.
