    Clearly it’s the leftists, they personally didn’t vote or voted third party or voted for Trump or whatever we need to say to deflect blame, and they did it in every swing state! It’s their fault, not the candidate!

      This is sort of strawmanning some of the criticism. Leftists who held up nonvoting as some kind of magic bullet for gaza definitely seem like they are dumber than rocks for thinking nonvoting is the same as strategic voting.

      However, There’s a bunch of like consultants and dem strategists that have clung to this to scapegoat these people as though there wasn’t a long chain of massive errors dems and their braindead consultants weren’t heavily involved in.

      At the end of the day just stop listening to “not voting is a moral stance” people and put fires under the real culprits: lying republican media and apathetic democrat politicians

      Look, it’s time to take stock and move ahead, we need to focus on the here and now and try to do some good, and prevent some bad.

      To that end, I recommend that both liberals and leftists focus on performatively scolding imaginary interlocutors from the other group over semi anonymous forums.

        The neoliberal Dems are currently rubber stamping Trump’s fascist agenda

        They aren’t interested in helping people.

          It’s very nice of you to assume it’s an act.

          (But neoliberalism is by definition a branch of liberalism, a broad ideological grouping that includes America when it had widespread chattel slavery and Manifest Destiny)

      It’s the Palestinian Muslim Leftists who have completely overrun our beloved liberal institutions and undermined them. These tankies are the fifth column that brought Harris’s glorious march to office down from the inside.

      We clearly need to purge our companies, our schools, and our political organizations of anyone who resembles, aligns with, or appears to look like a Palestinian or a Leftist sympathizer.

      We absolutely must do this in order to Beat Trump. You do want to Beat Trump, don’t you?

        I sure do! So we must:

        • Keep COVID-19 away from the public eye as trump wanted
        • Keep Mexicans in cages like Trump wanted
        • Build the wall using federal funding despite several federal laws saying we can’t, like Trump wanted
        • Allow the erosion of rights for BIPOC like Trump wanted
        • Allow for the removal of rights for women, like Trump wanted
        • Allow for the removal of rights for trans people in red states, like Trump wanted
        • Fund genocide because it’s good for my 3000 year old book, like Trump wanted
        • Boast about how we’ll have the biggest military, like Trump wanted.
        • And do nothing to help the population with inflated prices of housing, rent, medical needs, groceries, and say we did all we could and you should be thankful the economy is doing great, like Trump wanted!

        Anything else is Dreamland! Why wouldn’t I want what Trump stans want? I want to court them so much I’ll vote for anyone who’s on the blue team, no matter how much they hate me!

          • Vote in support of unqualified and fascist Cabinet members even when your vote doesn’t matter one bit to signal that you have absolutely no qualms with playing on Team Destroy What Little Democracy America Has

          I personally can’t wait for them to corralled all those men who are trans! They should be punished! They should chop off their dicks. Then I could probably get mine extended uhh 2 or 3 more inches would be totally fine.
