I love how centrists will respond to a comment that literally says “when most of us still voted for Harris” with a comment that starts with the assumption that the person they’re talking to didn’t.
We voted like you wanted. We told you that your one policy was a losing issue. You chose not to listen to people who knew what they were talking about, and you lost as a result.
If you did, we wouldn’t be here in this mess. You collectively didn’t, and now are trying to shift your part of the blame to whatever the fuck. I mean, if you personally did, good for you, but Trump won anyway.
Like I keep saying, either there is actually a lot of hardcore leftists in the US that decided to not vote against Trump, in which case they’re the worst people, because they had the capacity and moral compass to make less suffering, and didn’t do it. Or, and this is more likely in my opinion, you did vote and it didn’t matter because there is not enough of you to matter, and therefore ignoring what you were saying online was still a good idea, your opinion doesn’t matter when voting comes in play. This is the condemnation of the American public as a whole, both of the scenarios.
Trump was running on more genocide, and won. Either it’s, depressingly, not as contentious issue for American voters as you think, or they, even more depressingly, actually for it, and the correct position of less genocide isn’t as favourable.
If you cared about people’s lives as you pretend to be, you would see that it’s not binary genocide/no genocide choice. In America you can’t have zero suffering, you can only have less or more of it.
Republicans are not just democrats who haven’t been appeased enough yet.
Adopting republican policy will not get republicans to vote for democrats. But it will drive off democrats.
A democrat cannot win like that.
The voters you have before you will not vote in sufficient numbers for some genocidal corpodem. If you want to win more than you want genocide, you know where to start.
Cool logic, really. And I wish now more than ever that it was a logic based in reality. However, voting patterns consistently show kind of the opposite. People who agree with you don’t show up to polls, consistently. The only people who vote in all elections seem to be people who’re afraid of good ideas.
Those are, coinsidentally, the people who don’t spend their life online telling each other how important it is not to vote.

Those of us who voted for harris tried to warn you that if you continued to treat your voters with undisguised contempt, you would lose.
You wanted genocide instead. You got what you wanted. Stop pretending to hate it just because you’re getting it from trump instead of harris.

If you only chase people who already vote, you won’t get any more voters than you already have. And you keep losing with what you already have.
The party needs to stop treating Republicans as gettable votes and start treating disaffected nonvoters as gettable votes.
I’m not encouraging people not to vote. The party’s behavior does that. They need to change if they want to win.
