    Nobody is under the illusion that Trump is better for the situation in Gaza than Harris.

    But, too many left-leaning voters feel they have to “take a stand” by staying home or voting third party. I have several friends who did exactly that, even though it’s abundantly clear that staying home is effectively a vote for Trump.

    Meanwhile, NOBODY on the conservative side is doing that shit. It’s been true since the Reagan era, the conservatives put aside any personal distaste they have, and they get behind their candidate.

      Almost like Kamala could have changed her stance on the situation and got those people out to vote for her. But sure, let’s blame people not willing to hold their nose and vote for more genocide.

      That is the big problem here that people just don’t want to admit.

        Just look at the numbers. Harris will probably finish 15 million votes behind Biden 2020. Those are people who could have voted, but didn’t.

        Could it be the dogshit right wing Hillary-repeating campaign the Harris folks ran?

        The same campaign leftists have been tearing apart and pointing out the objective failures of, predicting exactly this result?

        No, it must be the nonexistent leftists who are wrong.

        You people are hilarious lmao. You seriously think the average American even knows one shred of leftist theory?

        I guess if you people knew why you lost, you wouldn’t have lost so I can’t blame you too much. The curse of a weak mind must be hard to bear.

            Correct its the fault of the person advocating a genocide.

            ‘dont commit a genocide, toss in some prolabor policies.’

            ‘Stop tearing me down!’

            Do you even fucking hear yourself. Lol

                Indeed my speech is high in protein. It does the soul good. You should try not supporting a genocide sometime yourself. Once you can do that all the other little groups im sure you’ve tried to brow beat people with would suddenly also be protected.

          That’s a lot of words that mean fuck all.

          But I guess you’ve got to score your nonexistent points somehow.
