I voted for Kamala. My parents and grandparents did as well. I do not feel that the democrats were/are doing jack shit to court new voters. The party itself expects to just be the status quo and have people vote for it. Whether people want to admit it or not, the point of being a progressive party is to be... how do I put this... PROGRESSIVE.
Oh yeah, make no mistake, the Dems are fucked.
It's just that in '24 we had an option between "continue having a flawed democracy" and "put a literal fascist in power", and a lot of us are still sore over folks who insisted that choosing the latter was some form of leftism. They weren't a major force in the general electorate, but here on Lemmy, they were certainly loud, so a lot of bad feeling remains.
You clearly don't understand leftist thought. Voting for a cop, a warmonger and a complicit child-kidnapper is incompatible with many leftists' beliefs and values. Continued aversion to actually listening to criticisms of the Dems and DNC from the left is why your beloved party is crashing and burning.
"But she said she wasn't Trump so she's clearly the only person to ever consider voting for!"
No, I absolutely do. They preferred the fascist to working with the dreaded 'shitlibs', just like Thalmann.
Nazi punks fuck off.
Call me a Nazi all you like, it doesn't make me a Nazi. In fact, you moralists should take that log out of your eye and actually look at the world your status-quoism has generated
Hey, cool, you have ADHD too? We can go to RFK's concentration camps together. I'm sure our Healing Through Labor(tm) will be successful.
Can't believe our only hope for mitigation of the damage is that the administration is so incompetent that they trick over their own dicks in the process of trying all of their horrors.
It's not going to be pretty either way.
No? You just welcomed in fascism because it pleased your prejudices and preconceptions. Sounds pretty indistinguishable from most Nazis to me.
"Wow, the world is bad. We should make it worse."
Brilliant plan. Millions of LGBT Americans and tens of millions of Ukrainians thank you for your ardent support of fascists taking power. I'm sure those dying for lack of supplies from USAID are thrilled as well, as well as poor Americans who can't afford the massive increases in costs of living and are already living paycheck-to-paycheck, and the crackdown on unions.
What a brave leftist world you've helped create. Maybe if you lick fascist boots a little more, it'll become even better.
I also find it amusing that I'm getting called a 'moralist' because I advocated the utilitarian option. What fucking insanity.
You're talking to one, and no, the Democrats have backstabbed us at every opportunity. Especially at trans issues, which they love to capitulate on as a bargaining chip for getting their capitalist donors more money.
If you walk outside and throw a brick in the face of a cop, you can talk to me about what it means to be a bootlicker.
You advocate for action based upon a spook? Sorry, that makes you a moralist. You decided that "maximizing utility" was the moral choice, and that again makes you a moralist. Perhaps you should write a sternly worded lever-pulling manifesto to send to your congressman?
Would you like to remind me about the state of LGBT rights in this country in 2024 compared to 1990?
Soaking in fascist circles seems to sap your connection to reality.
lmao, you ushered in fascism, bro, and you're sitting here justifying it besides. Saying "You aren't attacking enough cops!" to others isn't going to cure you of your bootlicking position.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Jesus. Fucking. Christ.
