    Just people with principles. This “non voters cost us the election” is a nonsense division tactic. Stop going after people for voting their conscience and morals. You’re just making it easier for the fascists.

    Not all non voters are equal thanks to our shitty election system. Swing states, ill give you that one. Those folks contributed but are still not the reason he won. Some dude in Michigan who sat out is not the same as a dude in Tennessee. One matters much more than the other.

    I choked back my vomit (yet again) to participate in a process I abhor and yet again it didnt amount to shit. Maybe work on getting that extra third of the electorate instead of kneecapping a portion who will show up if you’re reasonable because you need them. And no, i don’t believe supporting genocide is reasonable.

        Lol. Idealists because they don’t support people who lie and tell them they are working towards an end to a genocide when they arent? A lie they have now admitted?

        Democrats shovel their lies about working toward a ceasefire and naive people eat it up. I showed up and voted against my principles and morals yet again despite knowing it was a lie and centrists in the democratic party still cant help but blame other people for their own failures.

        It wasn’t the left that cost Kamala the spot. It was 70million fascists.

      You’re just making it easier for the fascists.

      Letting the fascists win the presidency and both houses in the election made things a hell of a lot easier for them.

        I get the perspective, i do. But this is part the problem. The center are mad because the left took a stand when they were ignored. Now the center want to punch left as always instead of concentrating on the enemy at hand even when the left still showed up.

        Focusing on a minority of people and blaming them instead of the tens of millions who made that decision consciously is only hurting the side trying to fight it and at the same time alienating the people who actually fight fascists consistently. It is self defeating. How does nobody else see this?
