ctlp27 Posted November 6 Posted November 6 Irrespective of the candidates, what annoys me most is the double standard. You don't talk about Biden's age and cognitive deficiencies when Trump is literally the same. Anyway, it's a lost cause because whatever flaws a Trump voter/supporter finds in others, they apply to their own candidate. 6

Like that was the one thing dems could at least talk about even when they lost elections. the swing states were generally within 3 points but the Red shift in deep blue states is an unmitigated disaster 3

It's just so ******* awful and I can't believe it's gonna happen now So much for ******* "Dem fearmonger propaganda"
Komet Posted November 6 Posted November 6 We rly understimated how much vibes of the economy and post-covid inflation meant to voters, esp compared to womens rights and, well, democracy.ย ย On the other hand, Dump has zeroย realistic plans to fight the inflation or the housing crisis or anything actually, so it won't be long before it all comes crashing down. The question is what will happen with these angry voters when it doesn't get better/gets worse? ย An economic left populist must be on the table for 2028 in that case. The question is who, sure as hell ain't the Shapiros or Buttigiegs.ย 1

We might just have to let the bottom fall out for a bit so enough people realize this isn't like voting for American Idol This is the thing too and why girlies seem confused why leftists are sure of what's next.ย ย The idea of acceleration as a electoral move rotted some liberals' brains and made them think it's a thing largely people do.ย ย Like most poor people can't even get off the couch. Let alone vote like 4d chess.ย ย But what we as leftists know as accelerationism outside of electoralism is the contradictions of capitalism. That we live in a system that demands more profit be generated from more productivity but which fewer and fewer hands see that profit. Capitalism constantly contracts and expands and the contradictions of capitalism in that reality create this populist movement rooted in people wanting material needs met. People become alienated and isolated and lonely.ย ย People won't view this video cause it's Williamson but it in the context of how Republicans filled their hate in the void most people felt in the fallout of COVID makes last night's results more illuminating: ย Of course Dems can always fail to address alienatiob. But that's why leftists know it's never going away until it is meaningfully addressed and why Dems can't continue to ignore it.ย ย At one point its gonna be that Democrats become a progressive party or they just won't be a political party anymore.ย Edited November 6 by Communion 1

Climate mitigation wasn't even an afterthought in this election, because doing the things that actually need to be done to stave off cataclysmic disaster would require massive economic regressions that no country in the world would be willing to concede on. Trump winning accelerates our trajectory towards the mass extinction event much faster, but we were heading along that path regardless. ย "my own guilt"??? I voted for the genocidaire, please. trump removed us from the Paris climate agreement in his first term, there are actual politicians that have tried to help pass legislation that would benefit the world but his appointees say climate change is fake news and refuse to help and you think it's the same? We are on course to run out of water in Texas in the next 10 years (5 now with a red majority), we have lost almost all our farms. no it is not the same

Your own life - literally you, specifically, yes you! - is going to get measurably worse under and after a second Trump presidency unless you are already in a very specific economic position and of a certain age such that you'll die before mass climate migration upends the entire economic system and infrastructure of entire nations. but but trump is the same!

I can't do this another 4 years. ย I'm genuinely considering skipping my family Thanksgiving - in ******* Wisconsin of all places - because I'm not sure I can stomach being in a room with seven loud ass Trump voters and just my mother, brother, and maybe one cousin on my side. I'm not even out to that side of the family. ย Maybe I'll make it a spicy, dramatic ordeal by broodingly reading a copy of the Project 2025 Manifesto (I forget the actual title) in the corner the whole time and quoting specific pages when they try to deny what's about to happen. 5
