...does it bring you joy playing the blame game with a trans woman for her choices that had an extremely insignificant effect given her circumstances? It seems like it.
Your blame game accomplishes nothing besides putting that person on edge and letting others know it's okay to also mock and berate people for having principles (in contrast to the Democratic Party). The Democratic Party is free to represent legitimate, common concerns that are apparently significant enough for their voting base to bully anybody who holds them. You are free to push the Democratic Party to represent common sentiment.
Just. Accept. Kamala. Was. Responsible. For. Her. Loss.
Kamala was the person running - not the person you were responding to.
Biden shouldn't have held on as long as he did. She should have never ran. There should've been a primary. Her policies were put up far too late. Her policies sucked. Kamala was leaving trans rights up to the states. Kamala was appealing to imaginary moderates. Kamala campaigned with Liz Cheney. Kamala was free to acknowledge the obvious genocide and campaign on stopping it.
Kamala's vibes were off - and her 92% staff turnover during the first 3 years of her office puts things into perspective. What the actual fuck?
It's unreal that people are still focused on blaming voters instead of encouraging their preferred party to actually do their best, among anything else. The election was almost a year ago now. Spend your energy elsewhere, especially when the person you are talking to is under attack.
Spamming clown emojis at a trans person is not productive. I want you to realize that attacking vulnerable people and people with principles is not helping anything. Your actions are not in the spirit of democracy. Votes are earned - they are not deserved or owned. Nobody should be forced into voting against the opposing candidate, they should be encouraged to vote for somebody who represents them.
