Dog shit voter turnout isn't committing no mistakes, it's the definition of a mistake.

Take this on an individual level there bud, it made me smile after I tried hard to get people to vote, made sure to vote myself, talked about the issues - this hits home for me

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

I even spoke to american friends about the issues, but the propaganda was too strong.

[–] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 61 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, but there were lots of mistakes.

Lots.

I could probably count the things that weren't mistakes on one hand.

  1. Tim Walz.

...

That's about it. Looks like I only needed one finger. Dang.

A lot of people out there disagreeing with this, saying Josh Shapiro (PA Governor) would have been a better choice, and helped lock down PA.

[–] 5C5C5C@programming.dev 8 points 7 hours ago

She would have lost Michigan and Wisconsin by even larger margins if she went with Shapiro instead of Walz.

There’s a pretty good argument this too was a mistake given what happened in PA. At least one swing state might have been saved…

  1. Not 70+ years old.

Still managed to make enough mistakes to offset Trump's age.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Frankly, that wouldn't have been a mistake if it had been Bernie.

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@lemmy.today 1 points 2 hours ago

It still would be a mistake and would prevent some people from voting for him, but Bernie would at least compensate for it by actually supporting popular policies instead of the opposite and have some energy.

and as awful as trump is, he wasn't even the worst part of his campaign or his administration. Metaphorically speaking, America voted a rabid feral jackal, but what's really gonna fuck us are the fleas hiding in its mangy, matted, filthy coat and the parasites teeming in its guts.

More specifically, my life.

I needed this today. Thank you!

it's possible to make tonnes of mistakes, lose, and still claim you didn't make any mistakes.

that's not fodder for a pithy quote. that's denial.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 9 hours ago

And rhymes with where I'd rather be.

The Maquis have a lot of good points.
