    Throwing your vote in the trash is a vote for garbage, and garbage won by a landslide.

    The garbage voters really hate to hear it.

    Blame the at most 2 million or so antigenocide protestors, instead of the 75 million who voted for Trump. Considering Harris was short 8 million votes, it didn’t really matter.

    Blame Trump voters first, but also blame Harris for running a dog shit campaign where she leaned right to pickup Republicans, and ended up picking up zero R voters while completely alienating the progressives and losing 14 million votes from Biden’s 2020 performance.

    The Dems don’t seem too upset though. They would rather lose to the republicans than let progressives have any sort of power.

    Friendly reminder that Joe Biden is still the president and could stop sending weapons to Israel right now if he wanted to. But he doesn’t.

        Your candidate couldn’t promise to stop sending weapons to an active genocide. That one thing to you would of won her the election and you still don’t blame her for not doing it? Crazy logic. Guess you too really wanted to continue that genocide. Taking it off the table isn’t even an option to you.

        I am being rhetorical. Of course you probably don’t support the continued genocide of the Gazan people. But the democrats inability to give it up themselves lost the election. And you wanna be mad at random online leftists instead of that. It feels like you haven’t really considered what happened and more are just angry and lashing out. Take care of yourself friend and think about who lost this election and why.

          The point is you now have trump instead. Who’ll be just as bad if not worse. It wasn’t the only issue and you have really fucked yourselves.

            So you wanna argue with leftists instead of working together against the incoming Adderall Concentration Camps? Rather than focusing on changing the Democrat party to be ready next time you would rather blame and fight the most politically disenfranchised group in America? Okay bro. Do you get the weird priorities you are displaying?

        Yeah, maybe the liberals who were out to brunch for the last four years might suddenly start giving a shit again. JK who am I kidding, the only thing liberals are capable of is marching around with signs peacefully while pissing their pants.

        As ineffectual as the democrat party they simp for. Pathetic.

    Didn’t really think there was that many of them on here. I feel like every time I see memes like this on here it’s just people preaching to the choir.

      Focusing on these people was an unhealthy obsession, and most of the attempts to reach them were needlessly adversarial to the point of being toxic and hardening their resolve to not vote for Harris. Gaza was a losing issue for Harris and this attention just kept it front and center. Sad to see the obsession continue.

      Anyways, this is not why Harris lost. It was a landslide and Trump won the popular vote by a huge margin. Americans don’t vote in large numbers on foreign policy - not unless Americans are getting killed. Kamala lost because she kept telling struggling families that the economy is great.

    You can continue blaming everything but the DNC, but it won’t change the fact that they are complicit in genocide and no matter who was in charge, the US will continue it’s legacy of genocide worldwide.

    If you call people out, they’re gonna respond, lol. (edited this part to not be accidentally included as part of the quote above)

    tl;dr is we need more options than Democrats and Republicans, and voting third party should be only part of the solution to educate and mobilize the working class.

    I think it is a false narrative that “voting blue no matter who” is the sole thing preventing the USA from succumbing to fascism. The reason government power see-saws between Democrats and Republicans is because it is hard for either party to maintain any legitimacy of being helpful to working class people when the only people both sides are helping are the wealthy. People get fed up with Democrats doing nothing for them and vote Republican. They then get fed up with Republicans doing nothing and vote Democrat.

    Are the Democrats current policies better than Republicans in some areas? Sure. But the Democrats have also continued some of the worst Republican policies, and the ones they have better stances on are small and in my opinion offer no long term solutions to help the working class. So one proposed solution is to use our limited power of voting for another party that aligns more with working class needs. That should also only be one part of a larger scheme to educate and mobilize the working class.
