Are y’all still blaming leftists for opposing genocide?

Yes, how dare leftists oppose genocide. 🙄

Also if you think that she wouldn’t have gotten us into a war with Iran as well, you’re not paying attention.

Disagree. For the reasons that should now be painfully obvious to all Americans. She’s not demented and stupid like trump.

Or that she would’ve improved the environment,

She would have. You appreciate the EPA is dismissing pollution controls? Public lands being sold and destroyed? ANWAR drilling? Wind and solar being shut down? This one’s so simple, how can anyone miss it.

or that she would implement universal healthcare.

What, by Executive Order? Yeah that wasn’t the offer (though that is the goal). Hundreds of thousands thrown off Medicare, insurance payments skyrocketing, measles outbreaks, “we should all eat more meat”? Yeah she would have been much, much better.

Or that she would’ve handled immigration.

You prefer the fascist paramilitary to - NOT the fascist paramilitary? Because that was what we would have had. NOT that. And hopefully some improvement. “Handled” is pointlessly vague though, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I swear neoliberals love to blame the left for their own shortcomings with nothing but straw man arguments and fallacies.

I’m saying voting for Harris would have been much better than whatever the fuck it was the Lemmyleft was trumpeting. Afaik it was either not voting or voting for a candidate no one can even remember two years later.

Blah blah blah leftists bad and it’s our fault Trump was elected. Get some better talking points. Or better yet, if leftists are so important to democrats winning, maybe implement leftists policies and move towards the left then? But we all know it’s not that, the neolibs just want someone to blame for running a cop as presidential candidate and calling it PrOgReSsIvE.

It's always disturbing and disappointing to see how little differences there is between Republican and Democrat supporters.
