Kamala lost more because of the economy than because of Gaza. But if people want to blame protest voters, and they really, really do, then I'm happy to take advantage of that narrative because that claim only helps us by suggesting that we weild more influence than we do and are more important to win over than we are. I'm happy to point out that they're wrong because I'm an honest person, but if they really want to push a narrative about how important and influential my faction is, then I mean, I'll take it. "Never interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake." Plus pointing out the fact that they're only helping us is probably more likely to get them to stop than trying to appeal to the facts.

Personal opinion, it is both. Harris ran a shite campaign. Also people refused to exercise their ability to produce damage mitigation. Voting the lesser evil in the presidential election, while voting, and working, to make change locally, from the ground up, is the way to affect change in this stupid system. Don't believe me? Really look at how the GOP got a death grip on the government, despite being a minority. Yes it took 50 years, but it worked, and they were working at the disadvantage.

Also, I spilled a glass of red wine on my desk, keyboard, micro pc, and several devices, when I moved my arm to respond to this. So fuck you!
