    The dem message of “we won’t do better but the other guy will do worse” failed. It was a bad message and it lost them the election against a terrible candidate. Voters need to be motivated to vote and that message isn’t motivating enough

      That was never the democrat’s message.

      What you are describing is the disinformation that you fell for.

        I watched multiple speeches given by kamala and I watched the debate. This is the message I came away with and judging by the outcome of the election Im thinking that’s the message most people got. Intention is irrelevant perception is what matters and they failed

          Except Harris did mention Trump’s age a few times (after the first debate). If you didn’t see it, you only looked at the disinformation channels, or it got drowned out by them.

            Well no dems voted for Trump, and his voters don’t care about his age because it’s a cult of personality

              Oh totally, attacking Trump’s age was never going to do anything, regardless of media hypocrisy; it was still righ to mention it. It’s also true that Biden was too old and people wouldn’t have voted for him.

              So far it looks like that is not true. Just look at some of the swing state exit polls. Or hell that little town of 6 people that always announces first, 2020 all 6 voted Dems and this time it was 3 and 3.

        Do you want there to be “camps” or do you not want there to be “camps”? I’m not quite sure. If you don’t want “camps” then the party opposing the republicans needs to get more votes than they did this time and using the same message or strategy again probably won’t achieve a better outcome. They need a better message, a better strategy, for all our sakes

          I didn’t want camps.

          #that’s why I voted for Harris

          now because 20 million cucks refused to vote we get camps. we get LITERAL AMERICAN NAZIS running our country.

          good job cucks, you fucked us good.

            Your side lost and your throwing a hissy fit instead of figuring out how to do better next time.

              I didn’t want camps.

              Implying that you do want them now.

              Which makes you a fascist.

              You make it seem like you’ll be cheering on the nazis as long as they punish people you don’t like. Which would make you a fascist.

                should the worst happen, I would send my soul to burn in hell for all eternity to extract my penance.

                Keep calling your own people Nazis, it deradicalizes them from your very extreme ideas and eventually they realize most people voting for trump aren’t Nazis. The more radical you get, the more rational people flee your ideology.

                  This person said in another comment that they hoped the person they were replying to would get graped in a concentration camp.

                  Whether this person voted for kamala or not that is fascist sentiment and its disgusting

                    I couldn’t find that comment, but if they said it, I’m 100% on your side condemning it. Fear statements like that are a fascistic tactic, but then, so is calling everyone who disagrees with you a Nazi.
