This community is still in denial from last year I see, I guess none of you braindeads learned your lesson huh

Even funnier now that the DNC approved candidate is running as a 3rd party in NYC after losing his own primary. Suddenly no issue voting for an independent candidate there.

  • Many core issues were addressed, from climate change to women's rights and LGBTQ+ rights, to concerns over economy (which were improving and have since been downgraded).

  • Opponent was objectively worse in Every. Single. Conceivable way. It is after all, a binary choice.

  • Uncommitted fucked off entirely on their, absent of any comparative logic.

The biggest thing that comes out of reading threads like this is the erosion of my original belief that I thought the uncommitted were at least smarter and strategic and and more empathetic and more aware of FPTP voting. There is one big reason why Trump won: People were duped by endless amounts of billionaire's money, seeing Trump at his best and Harris at her worst. I thought folks like you were above that; but alas, you drank the kool-aid just the same.

Edit: For the record, I think massive change in the Democratic party must come. That is not an easy task, but it's the easiest path.
