MODERATORS
Most of the leftists I know voted for Kamala.
And I love how Democrats' first move after losing is to blame said leftists. We were the only ones calling out the bad moves of Kamala's campaign from the beginning and warning what might happen if she didn't adopt a Walz ticket (or mostly a Walz ticket).
Democrats did this to themselves. It's the reason why they kept supporting a corpse of a candidate with Joe Biden for so long until the first presidential debate, and it's also the reason why Hillary was picked over Bernie in 2016 at the DNC.
Leftists weren't the issue. Democrats' own willingness to ignore what was happening right in front of them was the issue.
The ones over 35 maybe. Young folks believed disinfo. Nobody taught them how to vet information.
Either way, 5 million people is not one vector. People made their choice. It's time to accept that this isn't some gaming of the system or fluke. I know decent people that went from Biden to Trump. I disagree with their logic, but I hear where they're coming from.
What would have happened if you hadn't done that? What would have happened if the average dumbass center left capitalis liberal had heard nothing but praise for Kamala from the left?
She would have won. You had a choice. But you decided to tell the truth even when it cost trans people their lives.
Would you have told the truth to the Gestapo asking if there are Jews in your basement?
The same thing. Voters wouldn't have shown up because they didnt care and harris had jack shit for them or she actively suppressed their voices.
Lesser evil is a stick not a carrot. You dont get the lazy voters out with sticks. Trumps campaign was all carrots for his base.
You have 20+ million voters from 2020 missing. Where are they? Biden at least had positions in his campaign for the left last time. I was trlling everyone locally to get off their asses and vote regardless. Here i was trlling you political engage if obvious souls where harris was weak and instead of recognizing that hey not supporting something like a genocide is fairly trivial you stamped your feet and argued that we were undermining harris.
News flash: she undermined it herself. I got at least 100 harris people to the polls this year to counteract my jill vote. Not once did i try to get people to not to vote for harris. It was always 'here are all your options, here is what is likely to happen here locally, and in other states.'
The arabs told you exactly what they were going to do and you didnt listen. I did. Harris told you exactly who she was in 2016/2020, and this campaign and you didnt listen. I did. When people tell you what they're going to do believe them. But clearly you're smarter than us russian trolls.
Cheers.
