You figured it out! I used the phrase most likely to annoy “blue no matter who” tribal members. “Blue maga” isn’t going to listen anyways. Might as well control their reaction.
I might get a bunch of stupid replies and one serious one and if I prompt you guys like so it makes it easier to tell at a glance when I check my inbox.
Real leftists have moved on from the election, while.fake “centrists” are still scapegoating leftists for their own defeat. You didn’t let us make any choices, you can’t blame us for the results
Not nearly enough protest voters to account for the massive losses of supporters Kamala suffered for her pro-war, pro-genocide, neocon friendly campaign. It was easily one of the worst run campaigns in my lifetime, and despite how abhorrent Trump is, you shouldn’t be surprised at this loss. And you should be ashamed for continuing to blame voters, instead of the failures that are DNC leadership. Who else do we know of who routinely blames the powerless victims for their failures, rather than hold themselves accountable? Be better.
All the Dems had to do was hold a primary in good faith to show they gave a damn about democracy. Couldn’t even do that. Losers.
Stop making this about the voters. Even if Kamala would have LIED about Gaza and made some amount of concessions, it would have rallied the factions. Her neoliberal ass couldn’t even do that.
I guess I should have been more particular, and referred to the entire electorate, or at least the electorate that was more inclined to vote for Kamala over Trump.
The current state of American democracy is like having a cancer.
Dnc is the chemotherapy that might give you a few more years of losing sanity slowly, throwing up at all the steps. All the while withholding the medicine which might cure you but that is socialism.
Gop is quackery, it will kill you quicker but will be painful.
Not voting is like not taking any medicine. It is painful, it is guaranteed death but you are not wasting any of your resources on half measures.
Okay, so I would be equally justified in saying:
Liberals, this is what you get when you assume people must vote for you.
THANK YOU. This far down the road and they’re still ignoring this aspect.
Yes protest voters choosing to make things worse for Palestine and everyone in the US is stupid.
AND liberals and especially the party leadership made a huge miscalculation in assuming everyone would vote for “not Trump.”
Both contributed to the loss. Which is more to blame? There’s a discussion to be had there but imo the overall electoral strategy is a much bigger issue than a handful of stupid people who didn’t vote or voted Trump over this one particular issue
The party leadership isn’t here. Some of the protest voters are. Any statement posted on Lemmy is directed at the voters, not the leadership, and assuming otherwise is arguing in bad faith.
The voters had the opportunity to stop Trump. They didn’t. Many people on Lemmy actively encouraged people to let Trump win. He won. Those are the facts.
What I saw a lot of on Lemmy was democrat supporters and voters insisting that people will just hold their nose and vote for Harris and accusing anybody angry about the ongoing genocide of either supporting Trump or playing into the hands of Russia.

Did I do that? Very confused.

Ah yes, it’s all the voters’ fault.
If only the DNC had any power at all in this situation or ability to influence the actions of voters…
This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.
Let’s forget a neolib Democrat was president and let an insurrection, election rigging, a child raping conspiracy, and more slide into the background.
You can literally vote blue and shit gets worse and then you’re an asshole for not voting blue. Fucking maga shits of another color.

No true scotsman
The ones that keep insisting people “move on” are the same as the ones being scolded. Weird how that works.
Keep scolding and watch how much I roll my eyes

I notice a trend with ml users.
Lol they deleted my comment.
Anyway, you know that I could just make an alt on another instance? I guess that would confuse you 😆
The lack of introspection is astounding. Ciao.
What should I be reflecting on?
But Harris had a shrill laugh.
… Psst…
The real reason she lost was that she has a vagina. But they know they can’t say that out loud. So, “shrill laugh” it is

Read: I didn’t read the article
He never does. Just mindlessly trolls and then sea lions when called out for it.
That’s an odd thing to say.
Bbbb bbbb but Blue Maga!!!
/s
What did i do?
Sorry, wrong number
This is what Democratic leadership led us to.
Stop making this about the voters. Even if Kamala would have LIED about Gaza and made some amount of concessions, it would have rallied the factions. Her neoliberal ass couldn’t even do that.
Now that’s a bizarre take. This is literally what people voted for.

Ahh the “b b b b b b b both sides same!”
Both sides are the worst. Not the same.
Like you next wording changes anything.
Everything republicans do is the progressives’ collective fault, and liberals never do anything wrong ever.
Nice strawman. Also, I am informing protest non-voters what they voted for.
This is the part where this conversation goes off the rails. Removing everything under this. It’s not productive.

No, Liberals aren’t responsible for this, they could have sucked, but in the end you stood by and let the genocidal fascists take over.

Yes, not voting is a vote for whoever won, it’s the same reason being “apolitical” doesn’t exist.
Nominating a candidate you know can’t win is voting for the opposition candidate.
Wait. Are we still talking about protest-non-voters? Trump hand gestures
Got another 3 years and 7 months of informing protest-non-voters what they voted for. Longer if you include time to fix things, which may be never.
You assume that there will be another election, with the current government, this is not a given.
Found the Republican. Republicans never miss a chance to try and stir up shit among the left.
