    Write this for me professionally and factually correct: The Green Party’s votes did not have enough voters to secure a win for Harris in this election cycle if those votes went to Harris instead of Stein. This was Hillary 2.0, but at least Harris had some policy.

    As an independent voter, I cast my vote for Harris, believing she was the most suitable candidate for individuals like myself. However, it’s important to acknowledge that the Democratic Party bears responsibility for this outcome.

    Harris focused her efforts on appealing to Republicans rather than progressive voters, which was an unexpected approach. The sense of entitlement from the party leadership, and party loyalists, is, frankly, quite astonishing.

    What do you expect would happen?

    She failed to criticize Biden, and failed to better address the Israel-Gaza conflict.

      Because she expected actual progressive voters to already be well educated on what trump 2.0 means for the country…now they eat trump soup, like everyone else.

          That is not who I was talking about. Drawing working class people leaning trump or undecided back to her was something she sort of tried to do and failed because of vague economic plans and because they don’t recognize trump’s fascism under his clownery. These are not the progressives I mentioned, who should know better, even if they were not decisive to her loss in the end.

          But now they’re gonna get change for sure.

          Reagan (who was definitely worse for workers and civil rights than Biden or Harris) was measurably better than trump, the coming term even more so, but I guess if you are a communist everyone far enough from you is equally fascist. It’s funny, because to a fascist, everyone to their left is equally communist. It’s political near-sightedness.

          If you would not vote for Reagan to avoid a trump… enjoy the shitshow.
