Well, your apparently disingenuous argument was of a repeating pattern so, even if we assume the gap is made up of leftists, your argument is still invalid. Why would Harris' campaign ignore leftists because leftists don't show up if leftists showed up in 2020?
How about "substantiate it"? We know that someone didn't show, but it's not leftists. It's never leftists, and this bullshit gets thrown around every damn time. By the time the analysis is done the establishment humpers have moved on.
Your math still just shows that someone didn't show.
Working class voters with no particular allegiance and zero interest in political theory are the voters you are looking for. They show up when inspired. Harris wasn't inspiring.
The left isn't telling the establishment how to get our votes, we're telling them how to get working class voters.
Sure, we have some idiots in our ranks, but so does every group. We also have a boatload of trolls pretending to be leftists to sow division, and assholes like you play right into their hands. If you had any impact at all on people voting for Harris, I guarantee it went the other way. You can't berate people into voting your way, just ask Hillary.
I DID SHOW UP. Fucking hell.
