We’re on the same team. We try get to the Democrats to win because as progressives and socialists we are outside the Overton Window in the US. Getting the Democrats to win and move to the left is the strategy minority groups have been doing for decades. Disinformation campaigns to make people lose sight of that fundamental strategy is part of how Harris lost. A lot of younger people didn’t know better and fell for it.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza has been Gen Z’s moral injury. Bad actors exploited that to give fascists the win. And a lot of people fell for it.
No one fell for anything, the Democrats are a shitty party who won’t get with the times, no one was brainwashed, you just sound sad and delusional.
Is it true or not that Biden has continued support to Israel, unmitigated and even sidestepping Congress, despite vocal outcries from his constituents? Is it true or not that Harris basically followed Biden’s policy regarding Palestine despite vocal opposition from within her own party?

THERE IT IS!! Can’t just blame all voters, no no, now we’ve got to blame young voters specifically for the Democrats failing to distance themselves from a genocide, and running an uninspiring campaign for a large part of their voting populace they completely discounted.
God, I didn’t think it’d be a post-election day discussion without the young people being blamed for everything.

Israel’s genocide in Gaza was the softest ball the Democrats could’ve been served, and they whiffed on it repeatedly. A proxy state humiliated us and made us their bitch on the world stage, and the Democrats still wouldn’t stop cradling Netanyahu’s balls for him.
And it’s disgusting that politicians put the American people in the situation of having to choose whether or not to support a genocide, and worse, to what degree they support one.
Bad actors exploited that to give fascists the win. And a lot of people fell for it.
I didn’t realize bad actors pointed out the absurdity of the Democrat campaign (not allowing primaries because Biden wouldn’t step down and his staff hid his failing mental faculties, running on a centrist platform despite early progressive motivation, reversing her fracking policy, not supporting M4A, basically being Biden 2.0).
I also didn’t realize bad actors chose to try and court the vote of people who would never support them (Republicans) while making no effort to win over the more progressive part of the party because 🤷♀️. That’s the real “fell for it”: the Democrats really thought “wE’rE nOt FaScIsT” was going to be good enough for another election. They really thought getting Walz to play on Twitch was more important and enticing then telling Americans they would get progressive policies.
But you’re right, let’s keep blaming the voters fed up with the system, and especially being fed up with, “No no, for realz, this time for realz we promise we’ll do the things we promised the last 4 times, really for real.”
Maybe the Democrats should’ve taken their voters seriously, and their wants seriously, at any point in the last few decades. But no, we get centrist, status quo bullshit, and if we demand our candidates move left, we get chucklefucks like you telling us we need to meet them in the very middle, and then we can start asking them to move our way. Bullshit, the Democrats can move left, or they can cease to exist, we keep trying it their way, and nothing is getting done.
Hope it was worth losing to fascism, DNC, you and your party elite sure do keep showing us you know best. 👍
