The Democrats, in the eyes of liberals, can only be failed, they cannot fail of their own accord. Now, more than ever, is a good time to start reading theory, as many liberals are disaffected by the US election. I wrote an introductory reading list for Marxism in case anyone wants one.

This wasn't the Democrats being failed, it was the whole country being failed. It wasn't about voting for the Democrats, it was about voting against Donald Trump, and there was only one way to effectively do that. Everyone who refused to do that got exactly what they voted for with Trump, whatever ends up happening, but rather than accepting that maybe this was the worst option, they're just posting memes about how everyone didn't push back against the democrats hard enough, so I doubt it'll sink in.

Correct.

it was the whole country being failed

Exactly, by the Democrats.

It wasn't about voting for the Democrats

Hence why people didn't vote for Democrats. They had no reason.

and there was only one way to effectively do that.

Do you think it was about voting democrats. You just think they should be able to do literally whatever they want, including genocide.

they're just posting memes about how everyone didn't push back against the democrats hard enough

More like they're posting about how the Democrats should have listened when we were posting the same things before ethe election, but you not only willfully ignored us, you distanced yourself. Now that it over and we were right, you're mad at the messenger.
