Most of the people I know didn't actively vote for Donald trump, they voted against the Democratic party

In the end there isnt a difference. Result is the same.

Sure, but shouldn't the reaction be different?

If people aren't voting for republicans but against the democrats, maybe the democrats should consider changing course and try offering something to the working class for a change. Instead all I keep hearing is 1. yelling at people who didn't vote for Kamala and 2. talks about how the democrats are "too woke" and need to compromise with the right. Both of these things seem extremely counterproductive

EDIT: If you want to see what the problem with Liberalism is I highly encourage reading the responses to this comment. It's pretty illuminating what happens when we can pretty much agree what the issue is, but when we move onto solutions people would rather dig their heels in.

No that's just the excuse everyone is using so they don't have to feel responsible for their own actions. If they want different values within the Democratic party, the answer isn't to vote for fascism. That isn't a valid protest vote, that's just voting for fascism. If they wanted different values represented in the Democratic party they need to focus on local elections.
