Still think the important issue is who's "butthurt" eh? That's why the country is doomed. The problem with finding a liberal candidate supported by the base is that memes can't run for President. Just go back to scrolling on your phone and keep telling yourself none of what MAGA is doing is your fault.
edit: I'm gonna expand a little for people who keep saying Harris was a bad candidate who didn't get the support of "the base". She got 75 million fucking votes, Trump just got 2.3 million more. The "base" voted for her just fine, it was the FRINGE who didn't.
π next time dont put a candidate up who supports a genocide, cant be bothered to support workers, and couldnt even break 5% in a primary and maybe your candidate will win.
The only people you have to blame for this is you morons who chanted vote blue no matter who and harris who ran a dog shit campaign.
Its like you dumbasses dont know the first thing about how reality works and unfortunately we're all suffering because of it
The way reality works is that you never get everything you want, and you often have to make the least bad choice available. Refusing to vote so you can maintain your own moral purity makes you the dumbass.
ROFL. tell me my friend, how is trump working out for you? lol. the lack of self reflection on your end is hilarious.
the lack of ability in recognizing that the least bad choice rationalization is that there are a significant number of people who consider trump to be said choice.
A candidates job is to prove they're said candidate and sadly supporting a genocide, actively suppressing minority groups within your campaign, ignoring/fucking over the working class, etc proves to many people that you're not the least bad choice on a ballot of 5.
next time dont play the 'best option we have' game because other people dont agree with your premise. make sure the option you put forward is the least bad.
welcome to reality. enjoy your trumpettes.
If you actually think I like Trump there's no point even trying to talk to you. Sorry if any of these words are too big.
Clearly you struggle with reading comprehension but that is unsurprising most kamala / biden / dnc enablers do have issues in that regard. Probably why you think voting for any candidate who enables a genocide is the right thing to do. πEnjoy your continued losses to fascists.
How did refusing to enable genocide work out? Palestine doing okay now? How about the people getting deported from the US and/or thrown into cages? Or the ones who will die because they won't be able to pay for their meds? Or all the other people getting fucked by MAGA. The warm glow of moral purity must be comforting.
Worked out just fine. You little twits are getting your just desserts for the suffering we've inflicted on Palestine. Next time dont push for a genocidal candidate and maybe you wont get fascism. Its pretty simple.
And child, let me tell you if you think people being unwilling to vote for a genocidal candidate is a moral purity test then you need to go see a shrink. Seriously seek help.
As for all the other groups getting fucked by trump, yeah thats what happens when you put up a candidate like Harris who was willing to toss them under the bus as well.
How many times do we need to explain this to you:
Dont put forward a pro genocidal, anti middle class, sub 5% of the primary vote as your candidate. Its pretty simple those are just giant red flags screaming 'i want to lose to fascists'
Everything after that is your own stupidity biting you in the ass. We literally told you idiots in August harris was going to lose and may for biden.
Oh and here is a tip for those worried about getting your meds: moltov cocktails; use them.
Lecturing on morality, ending with throw molotov cocktails. Nope.
π yup you're exactly the reason we have fascism. Too much of pussy to realize violence is the only workable response once fascists are in charge. Too much of a holier than thou to get their hands dirty with the real work.
Its okay you'll have more in common with your Palestinians relatives soon enough.
Fun fact moltov cocktails in response to being denied medical treatment is self defense. which is a long standing moral form of violence. Just like Luigi.
