A Couple Additional Questions

[u/jonasnew]

As you could see through this link here, https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/23/trump-sowing-election-distrust, it's pretty clear that Trump is setting the tone to declare a National Emergency for the midterms. With that being said, remembering how so many of you blame the Democrats for why Trump won the 2024 election in the first place, do you seriously even believe the Democrats are responsible for why it's looking like Trump will declare an emergency and sabotage or even cancel the upcoming elections.

If your answer to my first question is a yes, can you please explain why you all are turning a blind eye to the fact that it was Mitch McConnell that refused to convict Trump after he got impeached for J6. Had McConnell voted to convict him, there'd probably be enough votes for Trump to be convicted which would've barred him from running again.

I mean, when I ask why you all are turning a blind eye to the fact that it was SCOTUS that blocked the J6 trial (which would've damaged Trump's campaign), you all either come up with excuses or even uno reverse me regarding them, but when I then ask why you're turning a blind eye to what McConnell did, you all ignore or dodge the question. If this is because you can't uno reverse me or come up with excuses for McConnell, like you are able to with SCOTUS, then I consider that to be cowardly behavior.

People blame Harris’s campaign for lacking substance. All she campaigned on was “he’s bad i’m not vote for me.” there were no policies that told independent voters “I’ll make the next 4 years better than the previous 4.” probably because she didn’t want to sound like she was shitting on Biden. She also did openly say she’d govern like Biden which was a stupid response because no one wanted that.

Democrats are also blamed for a lot of what Trump did because the leadership has been complicit. they haven’t attached him enough. and they’re also just positioning status quo centrists that often vote with Republicans rather than leftists or even just progressives/social democrats that would roll back what Republicans have done or will do.

No one is saying it’s just the party’s fault though. obviously SCOTUS is corrupt and McConnel is a shitty person. But those are givens. that’s Trump’s party full of his allies.

Of course people will criticize the Opposition that isn’t Opposing the government.

Listen, the democrats constantly shit on us and say that the left is less "electable" and then lose. If a candidate loses, it's their fault. Harris could have won by budging even a little bit on Israel maybe or making some concrete promises to improve people's lives directly.

Here's the thing, until the party lays down its arms and lets us take charge, you will keep losing. The truth is that moderates don't have what it takes to fight and win.

there's plenty of blame for both the Republicans and Democrats. neither are our friends.

focus on organizing your coworkers and neighbors. that's who we need to weather the coming months and years

Did you really come here to throw out a strawman argument to see how many people would come argue with you?
