Because you now did it to yourself.

  • jesus fucking christ.

    You’re blaming the Democrats for losing, when you yourself obstructed the democrats from winning. You advocated for People not to vote for Kamala, which they did, and now you’re blaming Kamala for losing.

    You have absolutely no right to critisize the democrats or whine and bitch about the current situation.

    And the Argument about third party voters is a straw argument. Because it’s not about the people you convinced to vote third party, it’s about those you convinced to abstain, to not vote at all

    Those made the difference.

      Again, Harris was up in the polls when she was using successful tactics like targeting Republicans, calling them weird, and the slogan “We Will Not Go Back!” Those were popular, she had great momentum. And then she catered to the right, her polls plumeted, and she handily lost even the popular vote.

      Harris and her campaign chose to run to the right of Biden in 2020. No promises of Student Loan Forgiveness, no Medicare For All, nothing, the only issue she took a hard stance on was abortion rights. She campaigned with Liz Cheney in the context of an ongoing genocide of Palestinians, this is a tremendous failure in understanding the optics of an election.

      No, FRSO, PSL, Jill Stein, no Leftist or left-leaning boycott made a damn difference in the end. It all ended up being Harris failing to replicate the positive emotions surrounding the 2020 election with broad, popular policies. You have absolutely no evidence that fringe leftists somehow influenced people into staying home when Harris herself campaigned to the right of a successful Biden 2020 campaign. They tossed the winning formula into the dirt.

          Little of A, little of B. Neon is making the false claim that leftists lost Harris the election, which is a separate argument from my initial claim that the Democrats are largely ineffective both because they fumbled the election majorly and failed to introduce meaningful protective policies against Republicans.

          My claim was double-sided, they are arguing with one side of my claim, ergo I think it had merit.
