    “We’d rather have a convicted felon pedophile be president because the Democrats don’t want to dismantle capitalism entirely and replace with… well we don’t know what with”.

      Yeah, people generally want their politicians to help them.

      And wealth inequality is the single biggest issue in human society.

      We are at a point where if we want to help regular people, we need that to come at the expense of the rich.

      You’re arguing against your own masturbatory fantasy.

      The left came out and voted for Harris. They held their nose and voted for the shit pile centrist, as they always do. We’ve seen with Mamdani that this loyalty is a one way street. Progressives hold their nose and vote for centrists, but centrists do not return the favor.

      Harris lost because she couldn’t drive enough politically unaligned, low-engagement voters to the polls. The average person who isn’t that involved in politics simply didn’t think it was credible that Harris would improve their lives in any way.

      Aside from a few performative tankies, the message I kept reading on lemmy was “I’m going to vote for Harris, but her dog shit policies are going to cost her the election.” And those progressive voices were ignored. Their desperate warnings were drowned out by people like yourself, sticking their fingers in their ears and going, “BLAH BLAH BLAH CAN’T HEAR YOU, VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO! IT’S YOUR FAULT IF THE FASCISTS WIN, I HOLD NO RESPONSIBILITY HERE!”

        Harris lost because she couldn’t drive enough politically unaligned, low-engagement voters to the polls.

        If those low engagement voters couldn’t make it to the polls to protect our democracy and prevent a felon rapist traitor from becoming President, then the problem lies primarily with those fucking fools, not Kamala Harris.

          The inside strategy is far simpler

          I love how it’s the fault of the voters and not the fault of the democrats for being shit, centrists, and genocide enjoyers

          Why do you expect anyone to care about democracy. Only the wealthiest 10% of the population lives in a democracy. 90% of the population has zero actual democratic power. You don’t live in a democracy.

          And Kamala, a candidate who was annointed, not elected, could credibly run on a platform of democracy.

      If Bernie Sanders doesn’t want to dismantle the current Democrats then it’s entirely Bernie’s fault. He’s to blame for capitalism.
