Listen.

It is the dem establishment's job to get people out to vote. They did an abysmal job. With not just running Joe Biden first and then switching to Harris last minute, but also largely refusing to engage with media. They had a shit fucking campaign. And yes, voters have some responsibility, but you can not deny outright the fact that many people just didn't show up to vote. Because the Dems did a shit job.

Also, she is more of the same. Not saying Trump isn't, but there is a deep fucking need for real change and she wasn't it. And yes, a lot of people who are anti genocide will refuse to support anyone who is Pro genocide, like Harris. If you're putting blame on anyone, let it be the absolutely dogshit cowardly DNC leadership

I would vote democrat at the time if I was physically not banned from voting, but I do understand. Think about it from their perspective.

A democratic candidate comes up, they are pro-palestine, and explicitly say they want to make being trans illegal. They also have a history of wrongly sentencing black people back when they worked in legal system. Whatever minority you are in, they want to kill all of the members.

Now would you still be able to willingly support them? What if I repeated this trolley problem 6 times in a row for future elections? Would you still play the game?

Her campaign was weak though. Does anyone remember her campaign message? I don't.

Trump = maga Obama = hope, change

I believe it was “We’re not going back”. I remember because it was a pretty strong contrast to MAGA.

Campaigning on a negative is a ballsy move. She didn't campaign on "progress" or "forward". She did it on "not backwards"

"shut up about genocide, I'm trying to talk nonsense here"

"hmm, no, i can't think of ONE thing I'd do differently than the 900 year old in the white house"

"hey look, the Cheneys love us! so do many other republican demons you always hated"

...

"wait, why didn't enough people turn out?"
