      It’s interesting that you think “Leftists” comprise tens of millions of votes. I’m flattered, but I don’t think enough people came to the last DSA meeting to make that the most likely possibility.

      Most all of the terminally online voted. Nonvoters aren’t here arguing about politics on Lemmy. Leftists have been screaming for months that if the Dems don’t make improving the lives of the working class their main focus, people aren’t going to come out. I wish we had more political engagement too, but sarcastic comments about how people should be more strategic doesn’t seem to be a viable get out the vote strategy. Maybe we should try making people’s lives materially better.

      And Americans don’t get it. As a Canadian it’s insane watching these people who helped Trump by not voting, jump through hoops to try and justify and blame others for their lack of sense and duty

        Don’t worry, Canada is next. Fascists are making inroads worldwide because neoliberals would rather let the fascists win than have the rich make any less money.

      The vast majority of internet ““leftists”” are MAGA trolls trying to divide.
