Yeah, the place to be smug is here on Hexbear when we're just talking to each other. If we're trying to actually reach people and change their minds, its really essential that we restrain the natural urge to dunk. Remember that these people are heavily propagandized, and that many of them were voting for Kamala because they genuinely thought it was the only possible option for producing a better world. Believing that doesn't make someone bad or dumb when they've been told it their whole lives by everything they've ever consumed. Rubbing their nose in it now is just going to alienate them from the left even further and make it easier for them to shift blame off of where it belongs and onto us. The goal is to bring new comrades into the movement, and we won't do that by making people feel bad--we'll do that by giving them hope that there's a better way.
