Maybe the purpose of a system is what it does…
Maybe trying to lower the rate/efficiency of the baby-killing machine is the wrong approach…
Maybe you should be thinking about destroying it…

    That’s what I’m saying, though. Incredibly justified criticism of her did not lose the election. She chose to ignore criticism and focus on appealing to conservatives.

      Right, it’s not our fault for running a smear campaign and dividing the base, it’s her fault for not changing into who we wanted her to be…

      Whatever you think the magic bullet was, undermining her support did not help keep Trump out of office.

        Maybe she shouldn’t have done things that undermined her support, then.

            I voted for Harris. But I could read the writing on the wall. Every time I tried to warn one of you, you did what you did here. Just assumed that I voted contrary to your sense of entitlement and was trying to justify it.

            And none of you have learned a fucking thing. If there’s ever going to be a next election, y’all are gonna move right and shriek condemnation at anyone who has a problem with it, since the alternative involves treating your base like humans with agency instead of automatons that you can abuse until votes fall out.

        75% of white men voted for Trump. It was categorically not the fault of people criticizing her support of genocide, her militarization of the border, or her continued appeal to conservatives. Your failure to recognize this is exactly what theyre counting on to continue with the exact same platform. No, they do have to change. If a future world where fascism is defeated is the goal than either the democratic party has to change into a party that will actually challenge it, or else the system of politics in America itself must be dismantled.
