Gordolfon (42 posts)Why does no one blame the voters?If our Democracy dies, it will be because voters elected a bunch of election deniers whose intentions are not a secret.If Hershel Walker wins, voters will have picked a Senator who knows more about policy and the world than my 11 year old.Voters have access to Google. They could easily do research about these charlatans.Yet I keep hearing they’re poor victims of misinformation.The American voters elected Trump.the media will never blame voters because voters would angrily cancel their subscription. So they blame “messaging”.And don’t give me a lecture on inflation because there was no inflation when they elected trump.When do we admit that the American voter is dumb, masochistic, or both?

TotallyIt's like the thing that must not be uttered!Of course, there is also the issue of barriers.In my state of Washington where we have all vote by mail we have: 2 Dem women Senators, a Dem governor, and I have a Dem woman rep.That's what you can have when everyone can vote!

Star Member Mz Pip (26,733 posts) 8. I'll blame themThe world is run by people who show up. This election is the most highly publicized midterms that I ever remember. There’s no excuse not to vote or to not do it right.Show up.

Star Member mountain grammy (24,801 posts) 11. while republicans celebrate Walkerthey denigrated Obama. This is blatant racism, even though Walker's black.I am beyond understanding these people. If they take the House or Senate or both, I'll be on the side of anyone who wants to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.
Star Member betsuni (21,113 posts) 14. I blame voters.If people want to buy something like a new appliance or car, they'll research to get the best price. Sports fans reel off statistics of players and teams. They know all about their favorite bands and celebrities. THAT they aren't stupid about.I've mentioned this before. Kim Kardashian, long time fan of Hillary Clinton, talked to her clueless step-father and then doubted herself and got some negative press when she said she was undecided about the 2016 election. She explains in a Teen Vogue article that she went online and looked at both parties platforms and decided, yes, the Democratic Party was for her. IS THAT SO HARD?There is no magic message Democrats can say that changes anything. They talk about the economy all the time and everybody claims they don't. And again I will say, the most frequently used word in Hillary's speeches was "jobs" and she had plenty of excellent plans but all we heard was that she never talked about jobs or the economy, and if she had just said the right magic words to white people in a few more rallies in Wisconsin. It's always like that.Many Americans have a subconscious religious-like belief that Republicans are the good economy/good for business/strong on crime party and there is no magic messaging cure.
DemocraticPatriot (1,376 posts) 15. Only somewhat less than one third or one quarter of us "voters" aredumb, masochistic, or both....The question is, which of us show up to vote tomorrow(or already have.... many of us Democrats have already put votes "in the bank", including me)It is important to note, that Trump has never gotten a majority, or even a plurality, of the popular vote--so you cannot fairly blame "the voters" in his case--- but "the system" is another matter entirely.
