After everything that's happened with trump, you guys elect him the 2nd time.

You guys suck.

I don't know how normal it is to be registered in the US but I would assume the target were moderate voters, not party members

In many states you have to be registered if you want to vote in the primary. I would imagine most active voters are registered.

[–] lugal@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Thanks for the context. Makes sense. Do you register each time anew? In that case I would assume people stick with what they registered for. But on the other side, people might register for voting a more moderate candidate and don't want Trump and vote Democrats. I guess that's what the post is about. Now I get it.

Once you're registered you stay that way unless you want to switch parties or you move.

They will never court the left, never.

meanwhile im already seeing "moderate" "pundits" saying the reason Harris lost is because she was too woke and Democrats need to move further right 🙃

America's far left is just normal shit.

"Hey how about everybody gets food and can see the doctor"

"How about suck my dick and be my slave"

"Whoa whoa you two, let's be civil. Especially you, first guy 😠"

How's that "Schumer Strategy" working out for ya?

The DNC knew it would fail. That was the plan. Perhaps not this spectacularly, but they knew it wouldn't work. They did their job. They defended the interests of Capital.

The problem, the worlld is now confirmed as knowing already, is that Americans are, for want of a better word, scum.

[–] TrueStoryBob@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

It's almost as though -maybe, just maybe- the people who are registered Republicans like the Republican Party.

For this groundbreaking insight, I'll take my $20k/month consulting fee from the DNC now.

Happy to say that I was in the 6% and 5%.

Maybe if they got a couple more celebrities to endorse Harris she would have won. Or maybe all the celebrities could have sung Imagine like what they did during COVID.

[–] yanksrturnds@lemmings.world 1 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Maybe they could have been endorsed by colin powell and oliver north.

[–] TrueStoryBob@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

No, you ignorant fool... they needed more scorned establishment Republican figures to support her. Liz Cheney wasn't powerful enough, that much is clear now. The absolute genius of having our vehemently pro-choice candidate on stage accepting the endorsement of rabidly anti-abortion figures almost payed off. It's the voters who were wrong!

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago

Yea but they won’t court the “left”(what little of a left exists in America) because the DNC doesn’t want leftist or even center-left policies, they like and want center-right policies that republicans 30 years ago pushed.
