please explain to me in what world, not voting for dems who are "tending towards nazi ideology" compared to someone who openly espouses nazi ideology is somehow the better choice.
I fail to see how, maybe i'm too intelligent and smart, but to me it seems like a really fucking simple choice.
I'm not commenting on the ethics of voting for Harris. I'm commenting on the hordes of people on lemmy and other social networks who were actively insulting anyone who expressed uncertainty in voting for Kamala. Actively insulting people who want to be on your side but are finding it difficult to support someone who is part of an administration that is actively funding a genocide.
Those people, in my opinion, pushed voters away by completely ignoring their concerns and telling them they are fucking stupid if they don't vote democrat. It's a brain dead strategy and mirrors the democrats campaign strategy, which categorically failed.
When you run to the right, and the people who like right-wing policies already have a party giving them the policies they want, they're not gonna switch parties, and you're just going to alienate the parts of your base/coalition that are affected by those policies.
Campaigning primarily on being the lesser evil and maintaining status quo failed, you can tell people 1 choice is slightly better all you want but on election day we found out that you can't win that way. If the dem politicians actually want to win they'll try a different strategy next time
