Democrats will never blame themselves. They can only blame foreign adversaries and leftists.
Cut them a little slack: vampires can’t see themselves in the mirror.
Seriously though, I remember the Republican party having a come to Jesus moment (pun possibly intended) after their 2008 (or was it 2012) loss to Obama. They didn’t lash out, blaming this that and the other, deflecting blame; they introspected on their own missteps. This long Clintonian dynasty will never do that, and they need to be purged.
Edit to add: And their Vote Blue No Matter Who constituency is so West Wing pilled that it doesn’t occur to them to take these people to account for their failures, because the Bartlet administration can do no wrong.

And then they immediately nominated the candidate that has done that more than anyone.
I feel like that’s a more general human problem and not exclusive to people of any specific political orientation.
Narrator: She would not, nor would the DNC brain trust that decided to run the 2016 campaign but with more war crimes and war criminals
I hate this fucking country so goddamn much
No, you can blame the non-voters. The ones who thought it was great idea to get pissy about one issue and stay home. Or “both sides” their way into an idiotic stance.
And in 2026, you can also blame the non-voters. The ones who elected Kamala president, but are too stupid to understand that voting is an annual process, and Kamala isn’t a fucking queen that can enact anything she wants without the support of a democratically-elected Congress.
Vote twice a year, every year. Every. Fucking. Time. Why is that so hard to understand?
EDIT: All of you people bitching about the war in Gaza should stop and think about what would happen to Gaza if Trump got elected. You have two choices, and staying at home just forces one of those two choices for you.
the harris campaign courting white voters whose majority hasn’t voted democrat since 1964 while actively denigrating their most active supporters to do so but still expecting their vote anyways is the part you’re not understanding.
Blaming eligible voters: 0% of the time, it works every time.

If there’s just one issue and you don’t even want to say what it is, aren’t you implying it’s a very important one? Maybe one you would feel bad downplaying if you named it?
But yes if she loses, I do hope you blame those who refused to vote over genocide. And internalize the lesson. And apply it to your future political endeavors.
Or “both sides” their way into an idiotic stance.
When both sides are for genocide you should probably work against them rather than figuring out which to reluctantly support.
And in 2026, you can also blame the non-voters. The ones who elected Kamala president, but are too stupid to understand that voting is an annual process, and Kamala isn’t a fucking queen that can enact anything she wants without the support of a democratically-elected Congress.
Damn those non-voters, don’t they know they owe the genociders and their associates their votes!? Those are their votes, just sitting on empty ballots, being useless! How dare they expect literally anything at all! Don’t they know that political power is all about pledging absolute allegiance to a party regardless of what they do!? What IDIOTS!
Vote twice a year, every year. Every. Fucking. Time. Why is that so hard to understand?
Don’t worry, I do! I don’t think you’d like my selections, though.
The ones who thought it was great idea to get pissy about one issue and stay home.
There’s a difference between not voting for Biden or Harris because they support the genocide, and between not voting Democratic because the DNC and the Democratic voting base think people who oppose the genocide are just being pissy. The latter guarantees losing voters for more than just one election cycle. You should be building bridges with people turned off by the genocide not ridiculing them and insulting them.
