Those who REFUSED to vote for VP Harris in 2024 have blood on their hands, and will never be able to live this disaster

[lostincalifornia]

they have contributed to down.

[leftstreet]

1. Those who refused to vote for Carter gave us Reagan

[drmeow]

21. YES!

Everyone starting with all those who didn't vote for Carter and all those who voted for every single Republican since.

[USS_Dauntless]

30. DU is the place where I started learning just what

a GIGANTIC POS Ronald Reagan was. I was in my early 20's back then.

[creon]

33. He was

Reagan was useless.

An ignorant actor

[Polybius]

44. Well, if we're going back that far...

Those who refused to vote for Humphrey gave us Nixon.

[OrlandoDem2]

2. All murderers!

[yellow dahlia]

7. Right, Botany.

Harris did not lose.

This is an illegitimate "government". And they are acting like one.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

4. They don't care!

[Ms. Toad]

5. Knock it off.

This constant berating of mythical DU participants who refused to vote for Harris is really tiresome.

How about you bop on over to free republic and dump the blame where it actually belongs

[nini]

6. Mythical?

I remember people blaming Harris for all things Israel and refusing to vote for her.

[Ms. Toad]

10. Please link to a single post on DU by someone who refused to vote for in the general election.

I'll wait.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

23. It is NOT DU posters who gave the election to Trump twice

There are a ton of voters who voted for trump who should be ashamed

Link to tweet

The Somali voter now should regret their votes

Another group who had members voting for trump and regret it

Finally, Green Party voters gave the election to trump twice

32. You forgot the black, hispanic and youth voter. Women too.

Interesting.

[Ms. Toad]

37. Then why repeatedly post scolding posts here?

There's at least one a week, and it got really old a long time ago.

[Boo1]

47. None admitted to it

But they were certainly on here spewing the type of message that people who WERE admitting to it were saying.

[Nixie]

13. I remember seeing that exactly as you describe.

There was even at least one congressperson leading that charge against Harris and discouraging people from voting for her.

[Diraven]

8. Who said they were DU participants?

[Ms. Toad]

9. It's posted on DU.

Seems to be the logical implication. Otherwise, why post the scolding post here?

[lostincalifornia]

18. No it isn't. Perhaps it is YOU jumping to WRONG conclusions. The abandon Harris groups, the genocide Kamala and

Jill Stein idiots, etc.

You seem to want to censor frustrations that people express on this board all the time if it doesn't fit in your view of the world.

No where is it mentioned in the OP or in this dialog blaming ANYONE on DU. That is all on you.

[Scrivener7]

11. Thank you.

[lostincalifornia]

14. YOU KNOCK IT OFF. No WHERE DID I MENTION DU OR ANYONE IN DU WHO REFUSED TO VOTE FOR VP HARRIS.

It was obvious that I was referring to THOSE WHO DIDN'T vote for VP Harris. Magas, 3rd party voters, etc.

[Ms. Toad]

16. Kind of pointless to post it on DU,

If you aren't directing it at DU participants.

[lostincalifornia]

19. Excuse my french but bullshit. Your implying that I am accusing DU members of something I am not doing. As far as

I am concerned, I will put you on ignore.

[BannonsLiver]

22. I'm reminded of a line in Hamlet about protesting too much.

[leftstreet]

17. It feels like scolding to the community

And in light of recent developments, like say Democratic reps voting FOR funding of ICE, it's confusing.

Would a Harris victory have prevented that vote?

[AloeVera]

48. Oh really?

Now you're saying you meant Magas too? Since when did we ever think Magas would ever vote for her but REFUSED to do so?

No, your implication in the o/p was clear.

If not DU members, then certainly other Democrats.

Perhaps you meant the 6 or 7 million who voted for Biden but who stayed home for Harris? Do you really think they have "blood on their hands" too? Personally, I think "blood" is the main reason they stayed home! The blood of innocents... But I know others blame misogyny or racism - odd to think other Democrats would be guilty of these things, but to each his own way of not having to reflect on their own failings and responsibility, I guess.

Or is it just a certain segment of Democrats you are blaming, the demographics where Trump increased his support? Blacks, women, hispanics, youth - geez, that's a large segment of the Democratic base!

Or is it a smaller minority and their supporters - too small to have made a difference - that you think has blood on their hands?

The questions are rhetorical of course.

[PeaceWave]

49. OP made himself clear enough. He's talking about not just Republicans but also the "uncommitted" as well as those who...

simply chose not to vote. As Joe Biden would say, this last election was "a big fucking deal." It's unconscionable that anyone would choose to have sat this one out. As such, OP's frustration and anger is entirely warranted.

[AloeVera]

50. "Unconscionable" is why they stayed home.

That's the hard truth and no amount of blame-shifting is going to sweep it under the rug - though many still keep trying.

When 80% of your base strongly opposes a particular foreign policy you insist on pursuing, you are sure to lose a certain percentage of that base.

There is no complexity or mystery here. Except for the "mystery" of why the base was ignored.

Stop blaming the Democratic base, as the o/p is doing. They were obviously neither in charge nor listened to.

[leftstreet]

15. +1

[W_HAMILTON]

27. Then why do some seem so intent to defend those that apparently do not exist?

Furthermore, if we can complain about Democrats on a website specifically devoted to supporting Democrats, surely we can complain about those fucking morons that didn't support and vote for the Democrat that wouldn't have any of this terribleness happening if she we're elected.

[AloeVera]

36. No problem, as long as you're an equal opportunity blamer and guilt-tripper.

But I guess blaming blacks, hispanics, women and youth - all demographics where Trump gained - is a bridge too far??

But Muslims and Palestinian supporters are - what? Fair game?

Now why single them out, as I've seen on this thread and countless others? Surely that's not right, is it? I mean, for one, haven't they suffered enough in the last few years? How are they different from all the other minorities and demographics?

What's the motivation here? Hmmm...

People here are pretty smart. They can figure it out.

[Ms. Toad]

38. Give me a link to a single post on DU by someone who refused to vote for Harris. n/t

[in2herbs]

12. I watched a video the other day and the reporter looked directly into the camera and said that everything that

is happening in the US now and throughout the entire world is the fault of Republicans in the US.

[GoodRaisin]

20. The blood is on the hands of congressional Republicans, the only ones with the power to stop it.

But they just sit back and watch.

Every Republican needs to be voted out in 2026.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

24. Hillary and Kamala were right

Hillary and Kamala were right

[mcar]

25. K&R

[FHRRK]

26. I chose to put the blame where it most belongs

The piece of shit Republicans who voted for trump

[QueerDuck]

28. AND those who sabotaged her with "leave it blank"...

...and encouraging "vote uncommitted" in order to sabotage everything. They know who they are with that BS philosophy... and so do I. Unforgivable.

[PeaceWave]

43. Thank you! This is what I too recall seeing happen. Nobody on our side should be pretending otherwise.

[Autumn]

29. Yeah. Whatever. Did you hear about the guy ICE murdered today?

[lostincalifornia]

35. That would NOT have happened under a President Harris, and that was my point

[Autumn]

42. No that wasn't your point.

[bdamomma]

31. All this chaos

hate, death, division and the rot of this fascist regime because people did not vote or chose not to vote for a woman. For what to see our country being violated and raped by this thuggish POS DJT!!!!! They are the enemy within. Miller, Hegseth, Noem, Bondi, Patel, Mush, Bessett, Russell Vought. They have blood on their hands!!!!!!!

[creon]

34. Yes

Yes they are to blqme

And the oned who ran off Biden. are to blame as well.

I do not blame those who coted for Trump.
They voluntsrily gave up their moral agency.

[Mysterian]

39. Let's focus on the republicans, shall we?

This is not your first post stirring up agitation against a relatively small number of weirdos.

[Rob H.]

40. Oh, good. I was afraid I'd missed this week's episode

of Loudly Ignoring How the Electoral College Works. Yay.

And before anyone gets their undies in a bunch, some of us live in deep-red, non-swing states. I could’ve voted for a tree stump for all the difference my vote made.

[tinrobot]

41. The people who voted for Trump are the ones soaking in blood.

[bigtree]

45. agreed

...recommended.

[Polybius]

46. Well yeah, but the blames lies elsewhere too

The lack of a mini primary (or even a convention with real opposition) was a colossal mistake.
