    I agree with the exact opposite of this.
    In 2024 the choice of which candidate would lead us to fascism was obvious to anyone paying attention. The left in this country decided to take it’s ball and go home, and now we’re living through the consequences. The left does not deserve to walk away from this blunder without criticism.

    Even if I grant that voting for democrats somehow in some twistabout way “supported facism” (which is bullshit,) it was plain to see for anyone with a brain what would happen if the actual facist, you know, the one posting god damned nazi memes in his campaign videos, was allowed to take power. Now we’re living through the consequences of the inaction of the left to get up off it’s ass and do something.

      Okay, so the left caused your candidate to lose. Aside from the fact that Holocaust Harris would’ve lost even if she received every single third party vote except RFK’s, even including Libertarians who are usually more right-leaning, sure, let’s go with that narrative anyway.

      The left is the reason your candidate lost, because the left did not find your candidate worth voting for.

      Sounds like you should listen to the demands of the left if you want to stop losing then. And we demand an end to all aid to genocidal Israel and no corporate campaign donors.

      Otherwise, you can keep losing. You may view Dems as being an obviously-better option than Republicans. I do not, so if you do not convince me otherwise, I literally could not care less if your party continues losing.

      Run better candidates if you want to win. That’s how democracies work, right?

        Tell me, what did you actually think would happen to Palestine if Trump won?
        Secondly, of the two (Trump or Harris), which would be more open/vulnerable to political pressure from the left?
        Be honest, use reason, tell the truth.
