What you’re doing right now is the real culprit… punching left. I voted and I’m in a solid blue state so my electoral votes would have went to Kamala regardless but you’re not going to get that and I guess it really doesn’t matter cuz you’re never going to have a chance to vote in real election again anyway.

I like letting people know when they were really fucking wrong. I find the reactions funny 😘

Dems punched left instead of right… Enabled a genocide and lost the support of their base.

Keep punching left I’m sure you’ll win over those moderate Republicans any day now /s

Wow! What a great campaign /s

Safety?

Kamala spent her campaign shitting on the actual left and trying to appeal to Modern Republicans it didn’t work out for. This is not The fault of the actual left. Shaming people for not voting doesn’t work as we saw in this election and in 2016.

Guess it doesn’t matter though since we won’t have more elections now.

I think what you’re supposed to take away from this is actual left wing candidates who are against genocide did well this election. A big part of why Kamala lost is because she did not have high voter turnout from the left. She spent most of her campaign trying to appeal to moderate right-wing voters who did not vote for her. And she also did not get the turn out of the left because of it. She should have been trying to appeal to farther left voters by promoting actual left Wing ideas and not sicking the police on anti genocide protesters.

But hey it don’t matter, not like we’re ever going to get to vote again anyway

I voted so I’m sure you won’t mind hearing from this leftist. The problem isn’t people who didn’t vote. The problem is how the Democrats ran their campaign. They continue to punch left to try to appeal to moderate right-wingers who will never vote for them!

Instead, they should have punched right and tried to appeal to their base on the left. Even the “scary far left people” like me.

How to do that? They should have come out against the genocide in Israel instead of sicking the police on the fucking protesters.

But sure blame random individuals and what they chose to do. That sure sounds like The first step in fixing a large structural problem. /s

Not that it matters anyway, we won’t be voting again not for real anyway.

Turns out you were the idiot and this guy was right. Appealing to the right lost Kamala this election 😞

🎺🎸🤘😎

Say them in person two years ago. Great band.

Nah you be assuming lol

I never said Bernie… That’s why you have to insert him in () to make sense. I’m talking about general sentiment. The push overall is to get people to vote for the lesser evil not make the Dems better. I don’t like that. 🤷‍♂️

I think you should assume less stranger. Glad you stopped the friendly fire lol

I agree stranger. Appealing to the right doesn’t seem like the smart way to win this election but I hope I’m wrong.

Take a deep breath

I don’t know what you think my positions are but you’re wrong. I am a socialist. I’m not in a swing state so I did vote third party but I would never dream of telling someone in a swing state of doing the same I would tell them they have to vote for Kamala.

I’m not talking shit about Bernie Sanders, I know he has made attempts to be on the right side of this issue but because he does not have support from his party he’s been unable to. I’m simply lamenting the fact that our political system is so un-nuanced and so shitty that we have to pick between two genocide enablers for the highest office in the land. And that even the better party is pro-genocide. That’s all.

I wish we lived in a political system that gave us enough power as the people to just have choices we actually want. Not this lesser of two evils bullshit that we constantly do.

You good?

I’m hoping this will be the year we see Texas flip blue. That would be beautiful.

Ok… Just saying it’s sad. Do you not think it’s sad?

Edit: actually no what the fuck is this reply? What fact don’t I care about? That Bernie agrees that this is fucked. What did I say that you take issue with?

Jesus Christ. I’m so tired of you genocide minimizers

I’m clear both are for the extermination of Palestinians and will support Israel in all their wars. I think we’re kidding ourselves acting like the difference between the two on those issues is substantial at all. They both are lobbied to so much by Israel’s pac

Source for lobbying

Based on this i’d think its harder to lobby the Dems but I really think neither party is movable on their positions in respect to Israel.

Totally agree that Kamala will be better on everything else though. Just find it fucked that we’re told to suck it up on the pro genocide stances.

Can I ask what state you were voting from in 2016?
