    Dude, the election is over. The only thing we can do moving forward is try to learn a lesson. Blaming other people isn’t a solution. We can only try to do better next time, which requires confronting what we could do better, not what others did wrong. We have no control over that.

    If your only solution is that everything is other people’s fault, you’re not being constructive. You’re only angry and lashing out, which is understandable but keep that to places that’s wanted ideally. You’re pretty deep in a thread trying to solve problems, not just blame others.

      Mate, if you think anything I’ve said is “angry and lashing out,” I don’t know what to tell you. I’m frustrated sure, but wasn’t the one who started to dole out blame. The original comment I responded to was blaming Dems lol.

      Still interested in if you think the country will be better under Trump than under Harris.

        The Democrats are the ones who we are supporting here. They can only do better through constructive criticism. They won’t do better by just blaming their failings on Trump supporters (or non-Harris supporters).

        No one here is saying things will be better under Trump. They’re pointing out why the democratic message failed, so hopefully we can understand why it didn’t work and do better in 2/4 years.

        Blaming other people doesn’t create actionable observations. It’s only a cop-out to not recognize your failings. Sure, it sucks, but it can’t be fixed. Giving people a reason to vote for Democrats can be fixed.
