With the dust is settling from their defeat on Tuesday, it’s becoming clearer that there was some incredible malpractice going on in the Democratic party. As shown in the tweet I linked, Biden delayed dropping out even though his team knew it was going to be a complete blowout for Trump. Then, we have Harris’s campaign spending over a billion dollars and still losing all of the swing states she needed to win.

For all the Democrats who would never vote Republican and would have never voted third party, are you now considering voting third party in future elections? If not, what would it take?

    Palestine was “getting deleted” either way, and I sincerely don’t care about who heads up a genocidal fascist country as my life does not change.

    I will still be at risk of death by police, as I am right now. I will still be working with my mutual aid group to help the vulnerable survive, as I am right now. I will still be protesting, rioting, commiting crimes for the betterment of society as I am right now.

    Harris wouldnt have changed the risk factor, Trump doesn’t.

    The only people that would benefit from Harris over trump are moderately wealthy insulated citizens of the empire that have never known struggle. Because those of us struggling have been protesting Biden as hard as we protested trump.

      I disagree with your assertion that there wasn’t a political path forward, through the democrats. That option is now gone. I don’t think there is any bridging that gap between us

        Probably not, but good thing the Dems have moved so far right the Republican party is perfect for you.

        Hope it was worth it, the genocide, the millions dead, the police and judicial brutality all under dem leadership.

          Haha get off your rocker. Maybe if all you fuckers showed up and voted. But no, maintain your ideological purity while those in the real world suffer

            “ideological purity”

            And this is why you have more in common with Trump supporters than anyone even slightly left wing. You think compromising on genocide is okay.

                Whose doing nothing, besides you?

                Voting for genocide to stop genocide is stupid. Even you have to know that.

                Organize, help those suffering right now, meet a neighbor, go to a protest, participate in a riot. I do all of that, except the last part obviously, wink wink. That’s what makes a difference. Voting for a genocidal fascist to stop a genocidal fascist does nothing. It might make you feel better if they win and only genocide poor people, and brown people, instead of you, but effectively does nothing.
