Paragraph 1: regarding Gaza, leading up to these election “leftists” on lemmy, especially from lemmy.ml we’re promoting this as a reason to not vote or vote 3rd party. Both options lead to a win for Trump.

Same situation for the border response. With both topics things are worse under Trump proving they were bad faith arguments.

“Dismantling lies”? You realize the people spreading these lies don’t believe in things like climate change, vaccines, etc (ie reality).

Paragraph 2: I didn’t tune it out. You’re pretending that the verbiage didn’t change to ‘don’t vote/vote 3rd party because of this’. Which is a winning situation for Trump. Proving they were said in bad faith.

For you to blame a “shitty campaign” on the loss is to ignore billionaires buying votes, foreign bots campaigning in favor of Trump and a republican propaganda machine that can convince half the population that reality is fake news.

Not to mention it is no different than someone watching a professional sporting event. Waiting till a team wins and then giving their armchair analysis based on the results even though they could never compete at that level. AKA Confirmation bias

Paragraph 3: the anti Harris talking points leading up to the election were posted the primarily in lemmy.ml. Rather than get into a debate about what that signifies I will let the consensus about who populates lemmy.ml speak for itself. Pointing out again that not voting for Harris or voting 3rd party benefits Trump and anyone who prefers him as president.

Paragraph 4: see my response to paragraph 3

Yep, but there will still be constant FUD towards the DNC while republicans move forward on project 2025.

Don’t mistake FUD for criticism. The difference is timing.

Propaganda is at its peak right before an election. At that point in the election cycle it is too late to change most things. “Criticism” only serves to discourage people from voting in order to tip the scales.

No one is saying that the difference in voters in 2020 (largest turnout ever) and 2024 is entirely because of leftists.

Ya, I believe that most of them are foreign bots. Others are just repeating their talking points. Some are more obvious. Others claim they were going to vote for Biden/Kamala while still spreading FUD.

So you’re basically telling me to not believe my own eyes and that the leftist spreading FUD about Biden/Kamala leading up to the election and afterwards don’t exists.

It is based of the posts and comments here on lemmy from leftists claiming Harris lost because ‘the DNC wasn’t left enough’. Also all the leftists here on lemme leading up to the elections claiming that both sides are the same and that we should vote 3rd party.

Regulatory capture and citizens united both exist to undo those checks and balances. No system is immune to corruption.

According to the polls it was the economy that motivated voters the most and dems lost voters because of high inflation during Bidens term causing voters to think it was Bidens policies causing inflation.

Republican ads specifically blamed Bidens ‘progressive radically leftist’ policies.

Also if you didn’t vote for Harris

Because the propaganda machine made up of foreign bot farms, billionaires and republican “news” media has convinced half the American population that it’s all fake news. Oh and most of the judicial system is corrupted by republican politicians.

If people won’t vote in their own best interest we get facsism.
