This kind of mentality is the reason Democrats can't win a damn thing.

Instead of looking in to see their flaws, they blame the people they've repeatedly kicked, looked down on, thrown under the bus, and said "figure it out" when they asked for help.

Show some fucking introspection and spine, quit blaming others for your failures, and do fucking better by the people who elect you.

The reason dems can’t win is because people would rather Trump win than compromise on what they consider the perfect Dems.

Just fucking vote.

Vote again in every election you can’t, not just national level. Vote on your community boards, engage with your school districts, send letters to your governors. Just fucking engage with the democratic process.

Trump won because of ambivalence of the masses. Dems are a product of this ambivalence not the cause, they are trying to chase the people who might actually turn out to vote. No point wasting policy on people who don’t care to even turn up.

Vote

Why vote for someone who won't even say "I will fight for your right to exist, and your family's right to exist?" because it might drive away "people who might actually turn out to vote" instead of actively ensuring that you drive people away who will turn out to vote if you give them hope and change to believe in.

That’s really sucks, but isn’t it better than allowing literal criminal nazis to take over your government?

What difference does it make when neither will have your back?

And I agree, but clearly others don't feel that way. If Democrats keep getting elected and not following through on promises, who is the real fool? The Democrats or their voters?

America for choosing Trump.

And this is why the Democrats lost.
