Did you warn anybody a win for Trump would make things worse? Did you do anything at all but just complain? Were you one of the people who said Trump couldn’t make it worse?
Because it sounds like you’re coping and projecting it, because maybe you could’ve had a president that wouldn’t have attacked Iran and that could’ve been reasoned with, and maybe even Trump’s convictions would’ve sent him to jail, but no, ideological purity was so much more important
You can see with your own eyes the parties are objectively not the same, as one of them supports Israel in killing innocent people in Iran while Israel expands their genocide to Lebanon too, but you absolutely refuse to acknowledge anything has changed
That’s just one big problem with your take.
Except for being weak on Gaza, all of the democrats’ other policies were actually more popular and winning.
The problem is media lied and said their accomplishments belonged to Trump and that Trump’s failures belonged to them. He claimed he would deliver on the economy when his plan was to ruin it.
It’s bizarre to see people decide that the policies were unpopular when they always won as long as you removed the name from them. People wanted what democrats promised but trusted Trump would be the one who could deliver on the promises. That was all down due to lies and propaganda.
The big error made by Democrats is falling behind on outreach, and letting the corporate wing set the tone (fucking political consultants pushing them to “play nice”), all the other bullshit like telling them “they should’ve focused on the economy” is propaganda because the already did that and media refused to report on it
And now Trump no longer has people who can insulate him from consequences because he made too many much too big fuckups, so now average people know he actually never were a good businessman and never could deliver. But people are still not connecting the dots and directing the blame to the people who pushed the lies.
