And there it is. Blaming everyone but the actual issues and causes
Am I incorrect in stating that when a politican gets more votes, they win the election?
Am I also incorrect in stating that leftists and progressives didn't vote for Kamala because of her position on Gaza?
Please tell me where I'm incorrect.
Your response to how incredibly incompetent the democrats have been for decades is blame those the dems consider meaningless, yet you are happy to blame them rather than reflect on the reasons a terrible candidate lost while also expressing how they're a wonderful candidate who may end up tanking another candidate with promise.
Every comment in this thread but hasn't stopped you from feeling superior for punching left.
That's nifty but I'm not seeing answers to my questions here.
Please answer my questions or GTFO
I mean, I know leftists and progressives refuse to acknowledge their part in allowing fascism to take over the country, but that doesn't change reality.
don't be petulant. no one owes you answers.
You owe me answers if you want me to listen to your stupid bullshit.
If not then conversation over. Bye bye.
You know why? Because I'm tired of people like you skirting responsibility for their role in alllowing fascists to take power. I don't have time for no more bullshit.
you allowed fascist to take power as well.
Yeah but unlike you, I engaged in the one activity that actually could've prevented him from taking power - voting. You couldn't even get past your own purity test to do that.
You know what happens when you don't participate but your opposition does? You lose by default. Good job you guys.
you have no idea if I voted, or what my vote was.
If you voted for Kamala, you would just say you voted for Kamala. Now even if you claim you did I won't believe you.
Do you know why it's worse when you don't step up, as opposed to say a right-winger or centrist? Because as a leftist, you're supposed to know better. Now we all get to suffer because you people took your ball and went home. Thanks for that. You don't get to blame the opposition for allowing the fascists to take power when you yourself didn't raise a goddamned finger to help them. Conversation over now, go away.
this is actually just bad faith
I said go away.
do you need help finding the block button?
