They threw the election. At a high enough level they cynically decided trump winning would be better for their business than moving left so that is what they chose. Calling them out of touch is missing the reality of it. At the low levels and here in propaganda they say this to try to break us. However at the level where they knew biden was a senile puppet they also chose to throw if they couldn't get what they wanted.
I've said it before and I'll say it again; Palestine revealed how out of touch the DNC is with the American public, and how little those in power think of us on the ground. People acted accordingly.
The comments of that thread are demonstrating your points perfectly, in particular to the DNC's overall attitude. Even after all that's happened, they are still denigrating pro-Palestinians for being "single-issue voters" and letting "perfect be enemy of the good" (ie, the same tired talking points which worked oh-so-well the LAST FUCKING TIME), and that encapsulates perfectly just how little Libs have learned or will learn; Whether it's those with actual direct power, their donor benefactors, or, as shown here, the Blue MAGA dipshits on the ground carrying water for them.
Whatever moment of genuine self-reflection for the party is going to be drowned out by a cacophony of Yes-Men repeating the same mantras like a broken record. Just the same ideas that the a) the Dems ran the perfect campaign, b) that the Leftists/minorities stabbed them in the back and c) the only lessons to take from this loss are entirely superficial (my mind goes to when some MSM talking heads "analyzed" Hasan's rant but all they took from it was that the Dems needed to reach out to the Twitch crowd).
Silver lining is that is that this leaves the Left in a position to expand and grow by absorbing more and more fragments of the Democratic party's base, but that won't come to us automatically no matter how much mainstream libs shoot themselves in the foot.
perfect be enemy of the good
Which DOESN'T FUCKING APPLY HERE. This is BAD being the enemy of the good. Perfect being the enemy of the good would be something like refusing a permanent ceasefire, because they want Israel abolished entirely right now.
If these people actually cared about not letting perfect be the enemy of good, they would be communists
If the democrats foresaw there might be peace if they lost, they would have done everything in their power to win.
How is this leopards eating faces? That means nothing anymore. The original tweet was about voting for bad things to happen to people, but they ended up being among the people the bad things happen to. A more apt comparison would be "I don't want to vote for the opposition party to the Leopards Eating Faces Party, because their positions on leopards eating faces is indistinguishable from the Leopards Eating Faces Party", and then the Leopards Eating Faces Party winning anyways.
I think it's been generalised to 'facing the unexpected-to-me-but-obvious-to-everyone-else consequences of my actions sooner than anticipated'
But those consequences weren't unexpected to anyone? Pretty much anyone knew that if Harris were to lose, Trump was going to win, unless some major third party support just came completely out of nowhere. This is more "These people refused to bend the knee and accept my (maybe) marginally less bad option".
Funniest part imo is that trump's team seems to have pressured the Israelis to do a ceasefire. If that were true and trump had any involvement with bringing peace to gaza this would be the exact opposite of a leopards eating faces moment.
Fuck 'em
They sold their souls thinking it would help them win
All it did was show how contemptible they truly are
