IMO some of that blame game is more right wing trolling to further undermine the Democratic Party.
Don’t stop kicking them when they’re down. Keep kicking.
There’s a perverse bunch here on lemmy that are blaming the Democrat Party for their failure to vote. They justify it by essentially saying that because they weren’t catered to (being further left than centrist platform Harris ran) that it’s the democrat’s fault we got trump. That’s some republican-level victim shit. “We did the opposite of what we should and things didn’t get better!”
No, motherfucker, you sat this one out in a battleground state so we got a fascist and that’s better than Harris? WTF kind of logic is that?
When you have a president that dgaf about anything saying otherwise.
Musk has enough money to change whatever rules he wants and tie up all the government lawyers for years fighting over all the rules he might want to break.
Billionaires shouldn’t exist.
Slash government funding for everything except the socialism for the rich.
You’ll be dead before you see the full fallout of this disaster.
My comment was in reference to social media, which this post is referring to along with bots, and if it is bots, my comment was regarding a shift in focus - blaming Gen X instead of boomers.
Well, at least half of it. They’ll get a lot more than they expected, I suspect.
Ah, the new propaganda has started, and they’re attacking Gen X for whatever reason? Guess the boomers are dying off and someone needs a new scapegoat? Seeing a lot of variations on “Thanks to Gen X for screwing up (insert whatever)”. Not sure what the value of it is. Gen X didn’t really have much of a shot at making any long-reaching policy, the boomers stayed in charge for as long as they could hang on to everything and created pretty much all the issues we’re facing now. Gen X never much of a shot, they just kept telling us to turn on the TV and eat the TV dinners.
That’s not what I said at all. But keep playing the victim here.
It’s been a firehose of propaganda for weeks.
Same on Threads.
Everything went quiet.
I would love to see these accounts, when they were opened, when they ceased posting, what they posted, and what the IP addresses were.
Pretty standard Dictator Handbook stuff.
Manufacture external enemies.
Manufacture internal enemies.
Take all the money.
Blame everyone else for the problems the country faces, choose populist, stupid, ineffective or detrimental solutions, repeat.
Choose violence.
The choice was between a potential dictatorship and a mealy neoliberal. At some point it doesn’t matter you weren’t catered to. Failing to vote is cutting off your nose to spite your face.
I hope voters like the change that will be forced on them with this new administration seeing as they couldn’t change their self interest enough to vote. Or will they just play the victim, taking up the Republican’s mantle and blame everyone else for the situation they find themselves in?
I have zero sympathy.
We’re adults here. It’s our choice to vote or not. I really dislike the implication that handholding voters to the ballot box is necessary. Yeah, the DNC f’s up plenty, but at the end of the day people that should have voted, didn’t.
Exactly what is it they’re supposed to learn? I’m tired of this generic self-flagellation and blame game that says exactly the same thing every loss, but gets rounds of back slapping when the exact same tactics net a win.
What is it exactly that should be done differently?
The reason we lost is because people didn’t vote. Not because they voted for trump. So some apathetic MFs handed trump the win. We should ask them why they allowed that to happen.
E: y’all downvoting a legit question and position? Pretty hypocritical to push aside someone asking a real question about change so the question doesn’t get seen. We want change, but we don’t want anyone to ask us what it should be?
They believe it because that’s what people have been told to believe.
It should be glaringly obvious that trump’s implied policy that he will let Israel “finish the job” is far worse than the dems poor attempts at negotiating cease-fires or any other moderation on Israel’s aggression.
All the propaganda has focused on the democrat (in)action regarding Israel. Zero on trump’s plans.
That’s what the propaganda machine has been pushing.
Seems that the “big money interests” would be at odds with helping the working class.
Thing is anyone posting stuff like this DGAF about any sources.
I get where you’re coming from, but unless you’re saying “Source?” just to troll them back there isn’t any real expectation of a good faith response.
