    Blaming indiviguals for not wanting to vote for a pro-genicide candidate works so well. Totally helped us win 2016 and 2024.

    Here’s the real issue. The Dems would rather be moderate Republicans than actual left-wing candidates. They spent all their time trying to appeal to modern White wingers and modern right-wing are still vote for people like Trump instead.


  • No, I’m not saying that.

    I’m seeing a lot of left-wing. People will not turn out to vote if they don’t like the candidate. What really determines elections in the US or what did was election turn out. If turnout is high times when if turnout is low Republicans win. Turn out as low when Democratic candidate sucks and tries to appeal to right-wingers. Like we saw this election.

    Kamala spent her campaign shitting on the actual left and trying to appeal to Modern Republicans it didn’t work out for. This is not The fault of the actual left. Shaming people for not voting doesn’t work as we saw in this election and in 2016.

    Guess it doesn’t matter though since we won’t have more elections now.


  • I think what you’re supposed to take away from this is actual left wing candidates who are against genocide did well this election. A big part of why Kamala lost is because she did not have high voter turnout from the left. She spent most of her campaign trying to appeal to moderate right-wing voters who did not vote for her. And she also did not get the turn out of the left because of it. She should have been trying to appeal to farther left voters by promoting actual left Wing ideas and not sicking the police on anti genocide protesters.

    But hey it don’t matter, not like we’re ever going to get to vote again anyway



  • StinkySocialist@lemmy.mltopolitics @lemmy.worldTrump wins.

    I voted so I’m sure you won’t mind hearing from this leftist. The problem isn’t people who didn’t vote. The problem is how the Democrats ran their campaign. They continue to punch left to try to appeal to moderate right-wingers who will never vote for them!

    Instead, they should have punched right and tried to appeal to their base on the left. Even the “scary far left people” like me.

    How to do that? They should have come out against the genocide in Israel instead of sicking the police on the fucking protesters.

    But sure blame random individuals and what they chose to do. That sure sounds like The first step in fixing a large structural problem. /s

    Not that it matters anyway, we won’t be voting again not for real anyway.
