Not division, just facts. Millions sat on their hands rather than do the bare minimum to forestall whatever the Hell the right wing is going to unleash on us all. There are plenty of reasons why Trump won and lazy shits who wouldn’t vote in light of Project 2025 are absolutely part of the problem. I’d tell you all to go fuck yourselves, but you already did…

Right, and that is awful, but it's ignorant and self-defeating of us to make enemies and play the blame game instead of seeking conversations and understanding.

If you tell people this is their fault and make them into the enemy, they will gladly act as the enemy. And they'll blame everyone but themselves, a fact Trump has been far too happy to exploit.

No. Going full bore worked for Republicans, I want it in my representatives and peers. No more reaching across the aisle, no more compromise, woke up or die

[-] Glide@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

This is a gross misunderstanding of why it worked for the Republicans. But okay.

I'm not suggesting more compromise and more moderate politics. I am suggesting we stop building strawmen.

How do you know that every non voter was going to vote against Trump?

[-] ModestMeme@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

Don’t know that, didn’t say that
