I really hope a lot of what y’all are saying is emotional. Win or lose, we can’t give up on the country.

It seems 45-48% have now knowingly voted (2-3 times) for someone who doesn’t believe in democracy or the constitution and they’ve been joined by another 5-6% who are too stupid to even realize that. They’re the ones who have given up on the country. I’m merely giving up on them.
 
Paine said:
Or maybe this was an economic referendum election and Democrats failed to get a winning economic message across?

Just a thought. Y’all are going to continue to believe whatever.

I guess people care more about money than living in a fascist country. That isn't any better.

Get mad but the democrats can screw up a two car funeral. Running a black woman against Trump when Hillary couldn't beat him was always going to lose. Just like 2016 we talked ourselves into victory. It is what it is but insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results

Yes, much better to divide the party coalition via an open primary a couple months before the general election. Tons of blacks and/or conservative Hispanics would’ve swooned for the gay guy or the slick commie from California. Or maybe the progressive/pro-Palestine wing would’ve really come around to Shapiro.

Exactly.

Don’t you think I should feel worse about that than people older than me? I have to deal with this shit for a long time. That’s why I’m not going to give up and sit here saying dumb ass stuff like hoping that Latinos are deported.

I'm not going to try to tell you how to feel about it. I'm giving you my perspective. I'm 46 years old and there is ZERO chance that this nation reflects any of my values for the remainder of my lifetime because SCOTUS will be so baked-in. That tells me that I may as well check out. I don't have children. I don't have a vested interest in what happens after I'm gone. I've been too vested for too long. When you've been around this nonsense as long as some of us, we will see what sort of enthusiasm you still have.

I'm too tired to care. I'm not angry. I'm not even disappointed. I'm embarrassed for us as a nation and I'm checked out of whatever comes next.

I think it’s more so that a deciding percentage of the electorate wouldn’t know what fascism was if it walked up and slapped them in the face.

Low info and low propensity voters are voting on ECONOMIC issues. They don’t care about Jan 6th. Is it stupid? Yes. Is it the reality? Clearly so. So Dems need to figure out how to message that isn’t just we aren’t Trump.

I wish my kids were adults and already had careers and I wouldn't have to care, either.

We can’t afford for liberals to check out. If y’all are serious about the stuff you’ve been saying since Trump came on the scene, now is the time to step up more than anytime prior to now. Not to tune out and give up.

This is how I feel. I’m 43 and I know that for the remainder of my life, this country is fucked.
 
Hillary 2.0 proves once again my first maxim of American politics - "Never, EVER, overestimate the intelligence of the American Voter."
