You really like false equivalency arguments, don't you? Harris didn't singlehandedly cause four more years of Trump. That took the entire GOP working/plotting towards it for four years, as well as many failures in leadership, on both sides, among many departments. I blame Biden's DOJ for not prosecuting Trump for inciting an insurrection more than I blame Harris' rushed campaign and handful of poor responses to questions. I also blame voters like you, who still fail to see the big picture and, instead, waste energy trying to punish neoliberals for playing neoliberal politics when the choice is between more neoliberalism and outright fascism. Both choices suck, but one leaves the option for a long game, while the other leads to minorities like me being murdered by the state.

What would the Democrats have to do to lose your support?

How much failure and faked impotence does it take for you to discard them?

Don't answer that, just think about it.

I don't support democrats. I'm opposed to fascism. I think I've thought about it a little more than you have.

Of course it was a team effort to lose. We all agree. Nobody solely blames her. But this issue, genocide, is one that could have changed the entire campaign. She fucked it up then, and she still can't admit it... So what we all see is her lack of values on display. No need to listen to that, to respect that.

Right. She doesn't deserve that kind of respect. But, surely we can recognize that she's also not openly authoritarian, like he other option we were given. I don't pay attention to her, or any politician, outside of what they are currently doing while they're in office or what they did while they were in office and are running for another term. I'm not sure what point you're trying to communicate.
