Bingo?

[minoanmiss]

Has anyone yet made a 2024 Election Postmortem Bingo Card?


The other day I read a recommendation that Democrats should abandon talking about climate change because Average Americans Don't Care. I've also read, so far, four suggestions that Democrats abandon trans people, two that women are unelectable as president, and pf course that whole discussion about how young women are responsible for deradicalizing young men. Maybe I should make a bingo card out of all of these bad suggestions. It would be a project at least.

ANy others I should add?

Thank you for these :)

[minoanmiss]

Did I thank you for these? Thank you, a lot. They're encouraging.

"Trump says what he means!"

"He wouldn't really do that!"

Thank you for that link. That explains some things people have said to me in the past. People I would genuinely believe were of good will, and could not hear what I was saying about what was happening in practice.

[hitchhiker]

ooh, great to have a non-twitter link for that!

[princessofgeeks]

You are much braver than I. I last two days of reading all this handwringing from Democratic bloggers and journalists and gave up.

Everyone is trying to find a new angle to explain why we lost. Everyone wants to blame the Democrats. Nope.

“It’s those Mexicans! (Not you, you’re one of the good ones.)”

“It’s those Chinese! (Not you, you’re one of the good ones.)”

I propose a similar and parallel Six Degrees of Mooch: “Must be nice to malinger your way to government income and health care.”

[minoanmiss]

Oooh, Six Degrees of Slut and Mooch are VERY useful.

"She should've gone on more right-wing podcasts" is a take I can do without.

[minoanmiss]

WORD.

Would assembling this be cathartic and helpful, or would it be even more depressing and morale-crushing for you?

[full_metal_ox]

…Good question. It’s minoanmiss’ call, of course.

[minoanmiss]

Heh, I'll probabbly nevr get around to it either way.

(Seriously, though, thank you for making sure I ask myself this.)

[gwydion]

How about "Democrats need to move even further to the right to woo trump voters!"

I am ready to scream everytime they do this one, because I don;t see how shedding voters under forty five and tossing away Michigan at the convension to court cheney voters was a good strategy.
