what a stupid argument. You are blaming the Democrats for "failing to protect you" (by failing to win the Election) when YOU YOURSELF were advocating for people to stop supporting them winning the Election.

YOU are the one whose face got eaten by a Leopard. By advocating for people to stop voting for her.

And now you're trying to make a profit off of it. You plunged the country into fascism (or at least advocated for it) and now you're trying to play the victim, discredit those that actually tried to stop fascism, and try to profit off the fascist President you yourself helped elect.

Seriously, sod off. Don't try to blame others for the crimes you committed.

    I am telling you that if every single third party voter, including the libertarians that voted for Oliver, all voted for Harris and convinced several others to do so each, Harris would have still lost. This is an irrefutable fact, the Democrats failed to run a campaign that brought out voters like they did in 2020. They fumbled big time by not promising popular policies like Medicare for All, and the genocide in Palestine has only hurt her campaign.

    The blame is not with the leftists, who are too small in number to make a difference one way or the other, but on the Democratic Party.

    Finally, even if the Leftists had decided the election (which we proved they did not), then again, it was a failure of the Democratic Party to push to the right with Liz Cheney endorsements, rather than courting this imaginary powerful Leftist voting block.

    Either way, it isn't on Leftists.

    jesus fucking christ.

    You're blaming the Democrats for losing, when you yourself obstructed the democrats from winning. You advocated for People not to vote for Kamala, which they did, and now you're blaming Kamala for losing.

    You have absolutely no right to critisize the democrats or whine and bitch about the current situation.

    And the Argument about third party voters is a straw argument. Because it's not about the people you convinced to vote third party, it's about those you convinced to abstain, to not vote at all

    Those made the difference.

    Again, Harris was up in the polls when she was using successful tactics like targeting Republicans, calling them weird, and the slogan "We Will Not Go Back!" Those were popular, she had great momentum. And then she catered to the right, her polls plumeted, and she handily lost even the popular vote.

    Harris and her campaign chose to run to the right of Biden in 2020. No promises of Student Loan Forgiveness, no Medicare For All, nothing, the only issue she took a hard stance on was abortion rights. She campaigned with Liz Cheney in the context of an ongoing genocide of Palestinians, this is a tremendous failure in understanding the optics of an election.

    No, FRSO, PSL, Jill Stein, no Leftist or left-leaning boycott made a damn difference in the end. It all ended up being Harris failing to replicate the positive emotions surrounding the 2020 election with broad, popular policies. You have absolutely no evidence that fringe leftists somehow influenced people into staying home when Harris herself campaigned to the right of a successful Biden 2020 campaign. They tossed the winning formula into the dirt.

    Did you mean "The Dems will not save you" as in no matter if they are in control or not, or as in because they weren't elected? Neon is assuming the latter, but if you meant the former, then the entire argument is meaningless.

    Little of A, little of B. Neon is making the false claim that leftists lost Harris the election, which is a separate argument from my initial claim that the Democrats are largely ineffective both because they fumbled the election majorly and failed to introduce meaningful protective policies against Republicans.

    My claim was double-sided, they are arguing with one side of my claim, ergo I think it had merit.
