The after-action analysis that the world will be doing will suggest what proportion of the blame goes to whom, but make no mistake - this is nothing but a loss for everyone on the left. “Electoralism can’t fix our problems!” you cry. Ignoring electoral politics can sure as fuck make it worse.
The deaths in Gaza and Ukraine which could have been avoidable if Trump hadn’t been returned to power? That blood is on the hands of those who wanted to keep ‘clean’.
The blood is on your hands and anyone who made excuses for the Democratic party instead of demands for an entire year. Make no mistake.
Cool, where did making ‘demands’ get you?
Oh, it worsened the very genocide you thought you were going to help alleviate?
Curious.
I’m not American. My family is at risk of being bombed by your country. The party you’ve avoided holding to account due to fear of a Trump victory is the one facilitating the bombing. It should have never gotten to this point but every time someone like you would say “but Trump is worse” to justify supporting the Democratic party NO MATTER WHAT it emboldened them to make the non-permissible permissible.
So you voted against the candidate that would help Palestine, and now you will blame everyone else for not convincing you otherwise?
I hope you’re happy with the result. Palestine will completely cease to exist because of this, but at least you got to blame Dems for it.
That blood is on the hands of those who wanted to keep ‘clean’.
You’re already doing it. You’re already instinctively blaming people in a moment when it’s impossible to know whether they would’ve made a difference.
Millions of people didn’t vote across several swing states.
It has been widely discussed that certain purity test failures by Harris kept voters home.
Purity politics is not the only thing on the table, but it’s certainly one of them. It’s not all leftist’s fault. At all.
Oh no, that they “wouldn’t have made a difference” doesn’t absolve them, no more than it absolves twats in deep red states for voting Trump, despite their vote “not making a difference” in whether their state went red.
They have blood on their hands, regardless of whether they were the tipping point. Enjoy it.
We all have blood on our hands, we are all part of this machine against our own will. Moralism will get you nowhere
By participating in this election, Americans could have stopped the rise of fascism for four more years by filling out a piece of paper with a pen.
For over half the voters, the open rise of fascism was fine and not a deal-breaker. Trump has made no secret what kind of a president he was going to be. Trump’s numbers stayed the same and even did better in some places, even after running the most garbage campaign in modern history. A sizable portion of Americans want fascism.
Too much to ask. They didn’t feel like we ‘deserved’ to avoid fascism. They couldn’t possible ‘reward’ non-fascists by voting against fascism.
Both can be true. No contradiction.
So are you pushing toward that IRL or are you just like another leftist bitching on the internet on how perfect your plan are and how right your ideal are and it’s all libtard fault that Trump won?
Wait are you blaming people while complaining they’re blaming others? What is this blame-ception
Not too soon for Liberals. They’re already on the attack.
I mean, this wasn’t the friendliest opening statement and I don’t blame anyone for being in a bad mood to begin with this morning
