    At the moment they have the White House and the Senate. If the House of reps goes for Republicans they will have all 3 and everyone will still blame the Democrats. That’s the part that frustrates me even more.

      I definitely blame the democrats. They’re the ones that have put Trump in the White House twice. I’m not talking of ‘letting it happen’, the dnc have actively done everything in their hands to make him president both times.

      Edit: If you can’t, or don’t want to see it I’m not gonna try to convince you. This meme over here speaks volumes by itself– the dems not just can’t reach the blue collar workers, who should be their main demographics, they’ve alienated, and even antagonized them to the point that many voted for Trump (I’m not saying this is a sane reaction! But people would grasp to straws). So yeah the ‘insufferable tubs of shit’ are the working people not the billionaire owners of the party.

        The DNC sucks but they’re not the ones voting for Trump. This is what America wants. Stop deflecting and deal with the reality that this is who we are.

          Which parts exactly? The dnc decided not to do a real primary and run a deeply unpopular president. It obviously exploded leaving them with nothing. They then tagged the vice president as the only option, despite her being the least popular candidate the last time a real primary happened.

          They were the party actively suppressing democracy while accusing their opponent of being against democracy.

          They haven’t done any outreach to the working class in decades. They just count on unions unconditional support, just like the minority vote. Trump made massive gains in those areas.

          They ran in the economy being just fine when is was apparent the 20% cumulative inflation fucked everyone that wasn’t rich or able to job hop several times in the last few years.

          Yes and no. It’s kind of a stereotype that construction workers and other tradesmen tend to lean conservative. Working class men such as construction workers make up much Joe Rogan’s audience. Joe Rogan endorsed Trump

    The only solace I have in this is knowing they’re going to suffer in the same shithole as us. They made this bed and we’re stuck in it, but at least their happiness will be short lived…

    I hate people so much.
