    Millions of people who voted for Biden in 2020 did not show up to vote for Harris in 2024. Trumps numbers hardly changed at all.

    It really is that simple, no enthusiasm among the left due to infighting and degrading our candidate.

      no enthusiasm among the left due to infighting and degrading our candidate.

      First, the democrats are not “the left”. Don’t even pretend. Dick Cheney is on their side and they lauded that, ffs.

      Second, we all did our damnedest to bite our tongues over your pro-cop, pro-israel bae, but everyone is well aware she was a piece of shit candidate. “Infighting” isn’t what cost the democrats the vote. “Pushing forward another intensely bad choice and then running a bad campaign that failed to win anyone over” did. You left people stuck between an insane choice and a miserable one. Should they have chosen misery? Sure, but don’t parade around acting like everyone should have proudly accepted the miserable one. That’s the attitude that has cost your country everything. The democrats are continuing to prove they just have no idea how to lead themselves or act in any meaningful way in the face of fascism.

        If you’re fighting against the Democrats then you’re promoting fascism. We live in a first past the post 2 party system.

        You can have progressive reform or fascism, stop choosing fascism.

          Call me when the democrats actually do something to fight fascism then. I predict you’ll continue to side with them as they continue to sit on their asses whining “it’s not allowed!” while your country invades mine. Cut a liberal and a fascist bleeds.
