Fool Me Once, Shame On You

[Independent thinker]

This article pretty much explains Trump's win and Democrat's loss. I don't think anyone can say it any better than this democrat himself.

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.), who posted on X right after the election: “Donald Trump has no greater friend than the far left, which has managed to alienate historic numbers of Latinos, Blacks, Asians, and Jews from the Democratic Party with absurdities like ‘Defund the Police’ or ‘From the River to the Sea’ or ‘Latinx.’ There is more to lose than there is to gain politically from pandering to a far left that is more representative of Twitter, Twitch, and TikTok than it is of the real world. The working class is not buying the ivory-towered nonsense that the far left is selling.”

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me repeatedly over the years while my standard of life craters and … I’m jumping on the Trump train to see where it takes me and my family.

Opinion - Democrats are looking at a dozen years in the wilderness

A growing number of voters from within the communities the Democrats have counted on for victory are buying into the “Trump Doctrine.”

It wasn't the "far left". It was the corporate left. Republican gains with Hispanics came from the Democrats lying to them. They weren't lied to over "far left" positions.

do you believe a far leftist like Sanders would've been a better choice for Dems ?

 

[Mousterian]

It was the 'Corporate' (bribable) Dems, who control the DMC that lost the election. They are seen as 'Establishment', and the Public HATES the 'Establishment'. They vote for the Orange Turd because he is 'Anti-Establishment', or that's what he tells them. He'll never deliver for them, but they're gullible rubes, and they know the Dems won't deliver either.

What about those in need who are lazy and don't want to contribute to society, not to mention often outright hurting our society by committing crimes?
