In addition to my other comment, this is applicable: Harris didn’t lose the election because of Gaza or protest voters - “the election was not close enough for the war to be a decisive factor”. Harvard research and Harris polls place Gaza as 15th among voter’s primary concerns. She lost because she ran what Bernie Sanders called a “disastrous campaign” that abandoned working class Americans. Instead of listening to and solidifying support among her base, she tried to court conservatives with moves like campaigning with the fucking Cheneys(!) and running commercials about wives secretly voting for her and hiding the truth from their husbands.
Democrats need to stop playing center field politically, and stop blaming left-leaning voters or protest voters for their party’s failure to listen to the concerns of their base.
Wait, sources?? Citations?! Reasonable arguments?!
Sorry those are for Russian assets and Trump supporters who are famous for listening to data and arguing in good faith.
It’s clear that they find the very prospect repulsive.
Of course the people who spent days on Lemmy screaming about how no one should vote for Harris weren’t the sole cause of her loss. There was no sole cause. There were lots of causes and lots of people responsible. Unfortunately, many of those who share the blame, at least here on Lemmy, will not admit that just because they spent a huge amount of their time telling people not to vote for Harris, they have no culpability whatsoever.
And if that’s the case, why did they go to all that effort?
