If you want the Dems to move hard right then you are a Republican

They only "came out" for Biden because of covid and because trump was in power during covid and people were angry about how he handled it and there were a lot of mail in ballots.

Without the covid effect I really doubt Biden woulda won in 2020

You threw your vote away by voting for Harris who literally could not, mathematically, win.

If more people like you voted 3rd party they would have a chance but instead you insist on voting for dems who run terrible campaigns with candidates that no one wants.

It won't win elections but it will keep the money rolling in and that's all that most dem politicians really care about

The people in power doing the bad things are always to blame for the bad things they do.

When polls come out about individual issues they show Americans in favor of progressive policies. If the Dems can't turn that into election outcomes it's their failure

The perspective that your just outlined lost this election. Do you want to beat fascism? If so you have to gain the interest of people who didn't come out in this election. If the stakes are really that high are you gonna lecture people or appeal to them?

Do you give up because people aren't reasonable? Or do you find a way to appeal to them despite that? If you pick giving up then you're letting fascism win

In this case if you pick just the burning building then the group keeping you in that building are saying "we can't let you out of there but you better support us or the guys with the molotovs will show up"

I understand that logically you'd pick option A but would you have enthusiastic support for the people keeping you trapped in the building?

Candidates have to get people motivated to vote and "we won't do better but the other guy will do worse" is not motivating enough. We saw how that plays out yesterday

People asking simple questions makes you really mad

You make your own reality.

You are an incredibly lucky person. Everyone is a victim of circumstance.
