Leftist here. I voted for Kamala. All the leftist media I consumed argued for voting for Kamala. All the leftists I knew vote for Kamala.

What are you talking about?

Leftists are so insignificant that we don't need to make any concessions to them but so powerful that they are responsible for any Democratic loss.

[-] hobovision@lemm.ee -1 points 4 days ago

Leftists are just about the only group that will go around saying they "won't vote" if there isn't a candidate making enough concessions to them. Leftists are a small group but they are enough they could sway an election if they came out and made their voices heard by voting instead of just holding signs and yelling. But getting that to happen isn't as simple as just saying you're against the genocide, because Harris did that and it wasn't enough. It isn't as simple as supporting unions, because she did that and it wasn't enough. It isn't as simple as supporting rights for women, minorities, and LGBTQ, because she did that and it wasn't enough.

The right isn't stupid enough to believe that they can get their oligarchy without winning elections, but belief in incremental change is fundamentally incompatible with a lot of leftist ideology.

There were a few people on the left (with followings on social media) advocating for third party votes because Kamala wouldn’t say that she was going to stop sending money to Israel.

Post election, it looks like third party votes didn’t spoil anything.

Oh yeah, I was arguing with them all the time. I figured they were bots. Seems like they have all dried up right after the election.

Define "dried up". The election us over and the country chose fascism. What else is there to argue about?

(Most) Third party voters are like cicadas. They spend the majority of their lives immature and underground. Every 4 years they swarm and die quickly to apathy and despair.

Just like cicadas, third party voters will be heavily affected by climate change.

All the people who didn't vote against fascism.

Then we're not talking to you. But a lot of people stayed home and that's a fact
