This election loss should have resulted in Dem infighting imo, instead of blaming the group that Harris told to fuck off.

I just checked and Stein ended up with 744,757 and de la Cruz got 138,095. West's totals are negligible. But those are the leftist votes that probably matter.

The Dems lost by 3,005,137 votes. Harris got 72,953,282 and Trump got 75,958,419 votes.

In 2020, Biden won with 81,284,666 votes compared to Trump's 74,224,319.

Biden won by 7,060,347 and Harris lost by 3,005,137. The leftist vote total is 782,852 and some change. There is no concevable way I can see that magic 6 digit number being the catalyst to Harris' failure when Biden got 8,331,384 more votes. Those are the Dem votes. Not the Left waffling this time around.(Ok, subtract one vote because I did vote for Biden in 2020).

I'm not a numbers guy but this really just points at Dems not turning out to vote because Harris just isn't likeable. Dems didn't get a say in their candidate because Biden waited 2 months until election to step down and the DNC had to scramble to make Kamala look "hireable" even though she was one of the first to bow out during 2020 primaries. In that 2 months time, Harris managed to alienate the Muslim vote because she's a terrorist, and when asked about whether trans people should exist, she said "it should be up to the states to decide" which is fucking exactly how we got to where we are with reproductive rights. Her saying that is a right-wing talking point. All she had to do was lie about it and she'd have appeared slightly more likable. But instead she supports genocide and wants to sweep my trans friends' right to exist under the rug. Fuck her. She deserved to lose.

And why the fuck did RFK jr still manage to get 718,693 votes when he bowed out 3 months ago?

The left can't even put aside their own differences half the time, how is anyone going to expect them to orchestrate a presidential sabotage?

Again, not a numbers guy so forgive any errors here.

The enemy is both weak and strong, and Democrats change their position by shifting their rhetorical focus. Sounds familiar 🤔

You don't understand!!1! If the Democrats return to their proud tradition of out-Hitlering Hitler, they'll once again be able to flip Texas blue!

We are so weak so as to not be worth catering to

But also so strong that we can convince millions not to vote

There is nothing wrong with this sentiment

have to be more right-wing next erection to sway

the Dems combatting electile dysfunction

erection more like election

I feel like fascists ought to know they are fash and that bothers me about liberals.

Liberals are outnumbered 2-to-1 by non-voters. 50% of the electorate did not vote in 2020. Dems blew a billion dollars and have this to show for it. With over half the electorate not voting, where was the outreach? Where was the phonebanking and doorknocking? Like a fart in the wind...

But boy oh boy an avalanche of donation requests. No organizing, only donations :only-throw:

previously... previously... previously... previously... previously... previously... previously... previously... previously... previously... previously... previously...

Erection lol.

But yes. That’s always the case with establishment libs. They will always push for the DNC to go more towards the right and demonize the left base.

Media pundits are blaming THE LEFT for the worst electoral sweep since Walter Mondale, but really, this is the fault of ALL AMERICANS.

If ALL AMERICANS weren't so STUPID we would have had A COMPETENT LEADER in charge of this genocide.

13 million who voted for Biden and not Kamala + the six million votes Kamala lost by. That’s about 20 million far leftists in the US, I’m expecting at least an attempted revolution over there soon.

Simultaneously there are so few of us that we are not worth ceding any policy positions for.

Almost as if by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the left enemies of liberals are at the same time too strong and too weak.

Erection

The take that everyone thinks it's the fault of the group they least like is the most correct imho. The conservative dems all think it's because of woke and Trump's anti-trans ads. The xenophobic dems are blaming the misogynistic Latinos and Muslims, the voting-once-every-four-years-and-making-it-my-entire-personality dems are blaming the nonvoters, every single one of whom apparently had the time and energy to show up to the polls and faced no barriers whatsoever, and the handful left-leaning dems are pointing out that Harris ran a crappy campaign and campaigned with the scion of a war criminal more than her own VP (the response to which has been having standards is a privilege when Trump is on the ballot). The Marvel-brained dems are fun ones, they're running around saying that getting angry at the national party is like blaming the hero for not stopping the villain and asking why is no one blaming the Republicans for their votes (lots of overlap with the xenophobic Dems with anger directed toward crossover voters).

I really kinda wish I was doing a sociological study because the dynamic is interesting. Also sclerotic and nightmarishly involuted, but that's what makes it interesting.

Kamala would have won if the dang commies had just given the Dems their Viagra back

Yeah see Democrats don't have to earn our vote but they do have to earn the right wing vote.

Electile Dysfunction

sorry guys, I voted for trump 4683669 times as a bit

Liberalism causes me to lose my erections.
