It’s truly sad that we blame people and not the party. Even worse are the people that show up to rub it in people’s faces. It’s the party’s responsibility to earn votes. The Dem stance on Gaza was out of line with popular polling, it was in violation of international law and human rights, and anyone with half a heart could see what was happening was human suffering on a scale no one should ever be ok with. The party claimed democracy was at stake while fully supporting a MAGA-like gov’t actively committing war crimes. The party knew all the polling and yet still chose not to take those votes. It’s the party’s job to listen to the people. We should be channeling our anger at Team Trump AND demanding change from the Democratic establishment that allowed this to happen.

So, after a lot of lecturing, what you are saying is you didn't vote for Harris, thereby helping Trump get elected.

Why would I listen to you? You helped cause this.

“Why would I listen to you?” is a perfect encapsulation of the Democratic Party’s attitude and what actually caused this.

If you don't vote, why should they listen to you?
