And I’m being serious. I feel like there might be an argument there, I just don’t understand it. Can someone please “steelman” that argument for me?

    nearly all the single-issue voters on the right vote in lock-step unison, and have for decades.

    democrats and progressives seem to just toss in the towel if they aren’t getting everything they want, right now.

    it takes time to build something great, it takes but a moment to destroy it all. welcome to total destruction.

      Everything being ‘dont genocide’ just so we’re clear here. I dont particularly think that was a huge ask. Nor do i think effective economic policies changes for the working class.

          No I didnt we lost. We lost our humanity, we’ve lost our shared communities. The fact i had to spend the last year arguing with people that genocide is not fucking okay is evidence of that.

          In no fucking way do I consider this outcome a win. There was no winning this election unfortunately and thats precisely the fucking problem. But alas democrats decided committing genocide, arresting their enthusiastic base for protesting, fucking over the working class, and shitting on the people warning them about these issues come voting are winning strategies.

          😮‍💨🤷

              Your words not mine. You failed to convince 20 million people with that argument, harris failed to convince 20 million people to show up using it after blowing a billion dollars.

              Harris lost 25 electoral points in two states out of the fucking gate using it.

              Harris lost more for completing fucking ignoring the problems working Americans are feeling at home. A minor tax break after food has shot up 20-30% in four years? Fuck off.

              She fucking managed to lose every swing state using it.

              At what point do you fucking realize how absolutely fucking stupid of a play that reasoning is?

              I dont need to argue this point anymore. You want answers look internally. Not to me, Ive spent the last year trying to get you deeebs to course correct. You failed to do so and as result you’ve earned trump.

              Insanity:

              • you
              • doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
