If you’re condemning it over those other several significant causes, causes of which some have MUCH easier avenues to success than getting EVERY leftist to vote for a still shitty candidate, then you are being just as fucking stupid as the Democrats.

Wouldn't even have taken half of those who voted in 2020 but abstained for left-purity reasons in 2024. But sure, tell me more about how Lemmy is the avenue through which one should convince the DNC to be less stupid. It's much easier to convince the DNC, whose members are very prominent on Lemmy, to be less stupid than leftists, who are barely on Lemmy at all.

Focusing on topics that will make the left exacerbate wedge issues and in-fighting is EXACTLY why many didn’t vote for Harris.

"Please oppose the fascist" is the REAL wedge issue which causes left in-fighting, of course. Nothing quite divides leftists like the concept of opposing literal fucking fascists. Unironically, it would seem, since you seem determined to asspat everyone involved in giving fascists a free pass to the levers of power in the government.

Why do you want to practice ineffectual infighting instead of creating more attractive choices?

"Maybe infighting while a literal fascist is about to win is bad?"

"I SEE YOU'RE THE REAL PROPONENT OF INFIGHTING"

Peak intellect, exactly what I expect from Lemmy anymore tbqh.

I voted and campaigned for Bernie twice. I support progressives locally and in my state. I want and work for more attractive choices - but when push comes to shove, if you're willing to maximize the number of marginalized groups to be murdered by fascists, or play apologist for those who do so, you aren't an ally. You're playing masturbatory games with your circlejerk over how self-righteous you can be.
