The American people aren’t stupid. They’re poorly educated and brainwashed by propaganda.
When a kid without developmental disabilities gets to 12th grade and still can’t read or write his own name, we don’t blame the kid for being stupid - or at least we shouldn’t - we blame the parents and teachers. The kid was failed by the people who had the responsibility to teach him.
Same with politics. Voters don’t have degrees in political science. They make the best decisions they can based on the information they have. Biden presided over the worst economy for the poor and middle class and the biggest wealth transfer to the ultra rich in my lifetime, Harris told voters “I’m not going to do anything different from Biden but Trump will destroy America so vote for me”, Trump told voters “I know you’re hurting, Biden and Harris failed you, and my policies will help you”, and voters made the best decision they knew how to make.
Which was a stupid fucking decision. Granted. But the lion’s share of the blame has to go to Biden, Harris, and their enablers. They were the experts. It was their job to keep America from making that stupid fucking decision. And they failed America.
No, we voted for Bernie. He won the primary and for some reason Hilary was the candidate. That was the beginning of the end. We didn’t vote for Harris to be our candidate either. THAT is how Trump wins. The majority did not want trump either time he ran for president, but the DNC made sure he won by putting in their least popular candidate. It’s a dog and pony show. Both sides are working for the same people.
“Before won the primary” is a different reality from the one we live in. Even if you remove the superdelegates and only look at the ones decided by popular vote, Hillary won that primary.
I wanted president Bernie Sanders and voted as such. But I actually live in THIS reality and don’t waste my energy whatabouting if an election had gone differently.
Is a difficult subject because on a personal level I’ve lost dear friends to insane propaganda, and I still haven’t forgiven myself for not being able to save them from it - and I’ll probably never forgive them for it either. They were supposed to be smart.
People think I’m smart but I fall for stuff too. In media, the existing weapons can be stronger than the defenses, and sometimes that’s all there is to it. Modern media makes the greatest aspirations of MK Ultra look like child’s play.
I’m still not convinced memes aren’t a great filter, unless great filter theory is just another shitty meme.
To sum up, people did vote objectively incorrectly. The Democratic party however is not guilt free. The whole system is built on violence, and that grim old tree won’t bear fruit unless you water it.
But people are stupid and they DID vote wrong. They had a choice and they chose wrong.

They’re describing where the Democrats failed and how we got where we are today. It’s a posthumous assessment. That’s not whataboutism.
