And those protest votes told the campaign this would happen and they didn't alter course. At what point is it the fault of the playmakers?
Protest votes knew the score. Slow genocide with Kamala, fast genocide with trump. And they put it on the line to say "either no genocide or you lose" and the Dems couldn't say that.
Think about that. The Democrats were very clearly told via the uncommitted movement that "if you support genocide, you will lose" and the Dems could not, under literal threat of death, say they won't support a genocide in Israel.
Like, I voted Kamala as a hopeful lesser of two evils vote. But seeing people like you come out here and throw the genocide of palastinians in the face of those who care the most about it because your party didn't do what it knew it had to do is fucking disgusting.
Actually abhorrent. Hold the leadership accountable. Hold Kamala accountable. They ran the god damn election. They wrote the god damn plan, and never in my life have I seen an electorate communicate it's demands so clearly and directly. They were ignored, so they ignored the Dems.
Wheres your fucking spine? Why is it so hard for you to criticize your own party, concrete people with positions in this shit making decisions rather than the vague "protest voter"
Because we voted to stop trump. That’s how it works, and that is what they failed to understand in the months leading up to the election:
Our votes were cast to stand in his way. Their decision to do nothing, let him walk right past us all.
This is on the protest voters/third party voters and there is no other way to see it.
If Kamala converted every single third party voter she still would have lost. Blame people for voting for Trump.
Now add in the non-voters. Because I blame them too.
Throughout my life, people like you have said the exact same words to third party voters.
Through these decades, democrats did very little to replace First past the post voting in states they control. Considering how they admit every election they understand the flaws of the voting system, yet do nothing to fix the issues they have pointed out time and again, democrats own this loss.
This is of course ignoring the number of 3rd party voters would not have changed this outcome. But facts don't matter, you want to corral the left towards your blue conservative party.
Democrats preferred trump winning over having to compete for your vote.
Party over country. Pride and arrogance beyond measure. Democrats have proven that they do not deserve to go it alone against the republicans.
What excuse do you have to deny ourselves multiple attempts at stopping the Republicans? To deny your country men/women/others full representation in the political process?
If you really were concerned with 3rd party voters, you would be tirelessly working to replace FPTP voting in your state. As such, I invite you to my asklemmy post to discuss your new commitment to passing electoral reform in your state. Looking forward to it.
If you didn’t vote in protest over this, you caused it. End of the line.
Cool story.
So you know, both the LGBTQ and women’s rights are going to take a HUGE hit now as a result of their smug little protest votes. Oh… and Palestine is either going to be occupied, or become a crater. Same with Ukraine- so… victory! Right? We certainly learned our lesson at the expense of a shit ton of innocent lives…
But as long as they can feel morally superior, right?
I’m not arguing this any further.
Cool. I still had more to say. You are free to not respond.
How’d that work out for ya?
Bubby. What are you doing?
