"And we're cool with genocide as long as it's not BlUe MAgA supported genocide! That's just a bridge too far!"

When Obama won on a message of hope and change they decided to use that popularity as currency in exchange for corporate/moderate policy.

I wanted Harris to win. I hate Trump, but I can be mad at the Harris campaign for being shit and giving us Trump. I can be mad at everything.

If that's their takeaway, then we're doomed. They did nothing but court Republicans with their "We can be tough on migrants too" shit. It always blows up in their faces. Biden ran a moderately progressive campaign and blew Trump out of the water. Maybe... just maybe the supposed left party should stop courting the right. Most Americans agree with progressive policies (once you couch them to not sound too "socialist")

Fucking wanks the whole lot of them

Can't forget the "he won't actually do what he says".

I'd respect a massive third party turnout vote, though. At least it shows there is an untapped and active voter base who will show up.

Not voting is just saying that you don't care. And there were several down ballot elections that were things that leftists say they care about, including ranked choice voting in several states.

I voted for Harris.

That said, a non-participant is objectively less culpable for electing Trump than someone that voted for Trump.

It's ridiculous how many are clearly more angry at non-participants than Trump's actual voters.

This system is captured by oligarchs, I vote for least worst out of harm reduction, not hope, and I'm not mad at the people that understand that this ship IS going to sink out of greed/capital market worship regardless of (R) or( D), both of which are still selling the lifeboats to the highest bidder beholden to the free market that crashed us into the iceberg, and said fuck it, they're going to get drunk raiding the bar instead of getting in line to vote on whether to start shooting stowage passengers for kicks(R) as we all sink.

If you want people to vote for the "leftwing" party in droves, turn it an actual leftwing party with a platform of remaking our economy to reward labor over speculative investment, and making wealth hoarding to the point of being able to buy your own government and Regulators a thing of the past through taxation and even confiscation over certain levels to be put into the commons like education, clean public transport, Healthcare, etc.

Hell, I'll knock on every door in my state if the Democrats abandoned their neoliberalism and became the party of FDR again with a New New deal. But they won't do that, because they'd rather have fascism than stop taking the corporate bribe money that Reagan made them junkies for.

Her stated policy positions and record on various issues would be my best guess. But, yes, 'Trump would be worse' seems true in all cases that I care about at least.

It's the trope used by kids right now. It's the next "litchally".

Well now they've got trump lol

I have many many leftist friends that are actually mad at Harris for supporting Israel. Saw a ton of it on social media prior to the election. Wouldn’t be surprised is most of them abstained from voting.

She is a woman running for a country that demands a Chad, even if Chad is demonstrably stupid, incompetent, malicious, and dangerous.
