OK. Good for you. Doesn't change the fact that your counterparts didn't.

BTW, how's your view of DC? Looks pretty occupied nto me.

Edit: Solidarity? Haha that's rich. Leftists stayed home. 42% of Hispanics voted for their deportation. Over 50% of white women voted to become broodmares. A sizable amount of Muslims and LGBTQ voted for their own deportation and rights be rescinded.

The only group that actually stayed the course was Black Women.

So you can take that Solidarity talk and shove it right up your ass.

So let me ask you something then, if it's every group you've mentioned at fault for voting wrong or being insufficiently engaged what in the actual fuck are you hoping to accomplish by assigning blame beyond stoking your own ego?

It sounds to me like the leftist bogeyman you're so eager to pin all this on didn't have nearly the impact you claimed elsewhere in the thread, or is this still their fault in an election where the Republicans managed to take the popular vote?

"Leftists stayed home", so are protest voters the reason Harris lost or is it the fact she was a hypocritical liar with a decades long career propping up the prison industrial complex? She goes on Charlemagne Tha God's podcast laughing and joking that she never inhaled meanwhile nearly two thousand people were imprisoned on her orders for marijuana related offenses.

"Though she defended marijuana’s use for medicinal purposes as district attorney, her prosecutors in San Francisco convicted more than 1,900 people on cannabis-related offenses."

I'm not sure how you're able to type with your head rammed so far up your own ass but if you manage to get some fresh air you should realize that no amount of celebrities at the DNC is going to make up for the liberal establishment's failures on every single issue that matters. By the way, why the actual fuck didn't Obama push for codification of Roe? Why the hell did the entire blue team roll over for McConnell and allow the Republicans to stall Merrick Garland's supreme court nomination? Speaking of Garland why didn't that spineless coward prosecute Trump when he had the chance? Because they're complicit, we're already seeing the presumptive nominee sprint to the right on every single issue that matters to progressives, if our vote actually made a difference the Democrats would actually do something to earn it but we make such a convenient scapegoat when they lose don't we?

You're a rube

TLDR;

Virtue signal all you want but it won't change the fact that ANY OPTION was more stable than Trump and when American needed people like you, you failed.

Bringing better candidates only works when the system works and this system was teetering on the brink of collapse that we didn't have time to do "purity tests" that the left does constantly for its candidates.

But I'm sure the LGBTQ community appreciates your concern for Gaza. ;)

Edit: Fun fact, Medicaid funding is primarily what Foster kids use for services. It would be a shame if that was slashed by a trillion.

But I will concede this, if the left is so adamant about being right, then they'd better fucking show up for Mamdani in New York considering Adams and Cuomo are striking unholy alliances with Trump.

Liberals will be voting for him. Let's hope the left is more than just rhetoric at this point.

Edit 2: Many of us groaned when she was even made VP considering her persecution of Black Men for minor weed charges. But she's still a better option than Cheetolini or Couch Fucker.

[–] TestCaseInSpace@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Reminder that she was made VP as a reward for helping a dementia riddled corpse ratfuck an actually progressive candidate out of the primary.

How's that Super Delegate system treating you?

"when American needed people like you, you failed."

Shove your condescension up your hypocritical ass you self-righteous blowhard. You've no idea what I did or didn't do to try and avert this fucking crisis and if you think for a moment that "people like me" weren't and aren't fighting for our goddamn lives and those of our communities you're so ignorant it's galling. Fuck you

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Right back at you with your Gaza virtue signaling.

Amazing how you'll hold every group accountable except the group most responsible for electing Trump: straight white men.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Why bother? They are fucking lost causes and, frankly, too stupid to bother convincing (the Joe Rogans, Kevin Sorbos, Adam Corrollas, Joel Olsteins and the likes). Yes, most white men are worthless imbeciles who aren't worth counting on for cleaning shit in a toilet, let alone accountability.

I'll be honest. When I get service done in my home, if it's a white male and especially a young white male, I cringe and expect shitty work and shortcuts.

I blame everyone else because I expected better of everyone else. I don't expect anything of these white maga male shit stains as they have been a fucking nuscience towards progress since the Reconstruction failed.
