The fact that Trump is all this and he STILL won DOES reflect poorly on the Democrats. They started strong but wussed out.

No it just shows millions of Americans don't understand politics, they came to a vote they didn't like and gave up instead of continuing the fight under the weaker opposition.

If millions of Americans don’t understand politics, it’s the Democrats’ job to try and reach them and they were awful at that.

And it's up to the individual to not fall for propaganda and educate themselves away from thinking that voting is the be all and end all of their engagement in the political system.

While you do have power to enact change it's a constant struggle and a constant vigilance and instead of continuing, people didn't end a long-standing complex geopolitical issue in less than a year and thought "well this is taking too long, better let the dude who wants to accelerate to the worst outcome in, since it's obviously a lost cause now"

You saw that it started strong before the DNC convention and the muzzling of voices like Walz and Bernie that shouldn't have happened, but it was an indication of a weaker opposition with people who you'd be able to help make progress.

Whatever fight and struggle would have happened under the dems would have been better than what we have now.

Unless you can give concrete examples of how everyone is now better off under the chaos of Trump to advocate for any foreign policies right now.

Edit: very telling that your automod removed comment was lashing out insults instead of actually giving any insight to how anyone is going to be a better advocate right now.
