In reply to the discussion: Biden takes responsibility for Trump's victory: 'I was in charge and he won' [View all]love_katz
(3,230 posts)I don't think that taking the blame for the election of tRump is going to win people who are supposedly undecided over to the Democrats cause.
It has been Republican strategy for years to blame Democrats for everything that is a problem in our country. It looks to me like accepting the blame just plays into that strategy. Those of us who voted for Kamila are not to blame for her loss. It is 100 percent on the people who voted for the Dicktator and also on the people who chose not to vote or protest voted.
As recovery programs point out: the first step to solving a problem is to admit that the addict has one. The problem is that there were enough voters to prevent $hitler from winning. Too many people chose otherwise. They don't get to offload the responsibility for their choices. They own the results. Society didn't force them to stay home or pull the lever or fill in the circle for the Republican candidate. That's a cop out.
A case in point: the remaining residents of Gaza are being "cleared", by being forcibly removed from their homes and land. Seriously, how could anyone believe Don the Con was going to be better on that issue than Kamala!?! They chose to believe the lies. I don't live in New York, but I listened when people who know Tangerine Palpatine gave evidence that he lies.
Nope. This isn't about society. This is about the fact that the Republican party gives people the excuse to be who they are: selfish, sexist, racist, classist and conformist.
When they finally grab a clue that we all do better when everyone gets an opportunity, then we may begin to make some progress. The Republican party is the problem. That has to be faced. All the book banning, scrubbing of websites, destruction of DEIA guidelines, defunding of museums, etc, ad nauseum, will not change the ugly parts of our history. Capitulating to the haters, bigots and bullies will not solve our problems. It is just too bad for them, that for all their macho posturing, that they refuse to see that they have FAFOed. I don't want things to get worse than they are, but I didn't vote for it, and I did everything I could to get the correct information out there. The people who voted for this need to ask themselves WHY?
