    I really don’t get how people see shit like libs saying you have to vote for Harris or you’ll get what’s coming to you when Trump comes to power, as anything but voter intimidation.

    If the Dems lose the election then that’s squarely on them for not having good policy, it’s up to them to win voters. How can you look upon someone rejecting genocide and hate them for it? How is that position so hard to understand?

    For what it’s worth I think people should vote Harris but I can’t fault anyone for refusing to do so.

    Imagine willingly posting pro-imperialist propaganda and thinking that makes you morally superior…

      Its Because modern dems (the very online ones) have a cult-like devotion to their presidential candidate like maga does, to them their leader cant fail, they can only be failed.

      so you have things like Kamala supporting unpopular policies like the war in gaza, harder border policy or bipartisanship, and to them the real problem its the minorities dems have constantly thrown under the bus like muslims or migrants for not showing undying loyalty to the democratic party

      By that logic, the Greens are to blame for the climate crisis because they didn’t get enough voters. And it’s the communists’ fault they didn’t teach enough people class consciousness for there to be a revolution.

        No, I said it’s their fault for not getting elected, that’s all. I didn’t say anything about the democrats failing to do some policy thing…

        I don’t really follow tbh. The Greens could have the best policy, but there not a major party so that won’t affect their vote count. They gotta play the loud game while major parties need to appeal to the wider base
