This might hold water if Democrats would quit working in the wrong direction on those issues while they're tackling one thing at a time.
Democrats supported genocide. Democrats ran anti-trans hate in their own ads. Democrats adopted Republican border policy.
Also, what one thing were they working on during this time?
They didn't. As I'm sure you know. The only unifying thing was "not trump" and "punish trump for doing loudly what others had done quietly".
But. What are D voters asking for? Is it any wonder the reps aren't unified if we aren't either? Of for and by the people doesn't really work if we all spend our days asking Lemmy how to avoid politics and watching ASMR videos. Or LETTING TRUMP GET INTO OFFICE because of protest no votes against genocide thinking you're some kind of fucking hero.
Everybody that allowed trump for any reason deserves to get a little bit fucked by the admin. We gotta do better, and this should make it clear to everyone that there. are. consequences.
And they either expected that to work or didn't care if it did.
They have made that clear. They want the Democrats to quit being useless. They want the Democrats to stop selling us all out under the pretext of being polite to people that want us dead in camps.
