Look at this guy thinking that we can vote our way out of this when we only have two, corporate sponsored, candidates.

Elon’s official title in the Trump administration

It’s 16 in more states than you realize

Blue: 16 Tan: 17 Green: 18

I can see how you’d arrive at that conclusion (mostly by ignoring everything else I said), but my point was really that Harris needed a better argument than just that. She never gave people a reason to vote for her rather than just against Trump. That caused 14 million people who previously voted Democrat to stay home.

To a lot of apathetic people we were presented with 2 very similar choices neither of whom gives a shit about the working class. So a lot of people figured “why bother?” and I don’t blame them for that. I blame Democrats for abandoning the working class and catering to corporate donors and conservatives. That’s not even mentioning doing nothing to stem the flow of genocide supplies to Israel (which caused a lot of Muslim voters to stay home).

So sure, you can blame voters, but it makes more sense to blame the campaign that wasn’t even trying to win.

I agree with the harm reduction strategy, but I also understand people being apathetic with the choices they’re presented.

Of course this means people should be more active and now is the time to start really pushing for ranked choice voting so we can maybe do something about the dominance of the two-party system.

Screw trying to convince Democrats they need to start looking left. Force them to with the threat of new, actually progressive, parties.

Orange man bad was more then enough to pick a rock with a smiley face on it as alternative

It’s a logical argument and it’s a correct argument. Unfortunately it’s demonstrably not an effective argument, especially when it’s all you’re doing. The same thing happened in 2016 with Clinton thinking she was owed votes because Trump would be (and was, and will be again) a disaster for the US. Yet they still went with the same strategy anyway.

I say this as someone who did make the “correct” choice of voting blue despite my moral objections to a lot of what she was saying. We will now all see the consequences of only barely trying to win an election against fascists.

Typical Zionist behavior.

Don’t blame the people staying home. Blame the Democrats for doing nothing to earn those votes but say “Orange Man Bad”. They did the exact same thing in 2016. Democrats ran on maintaining the status quo at a time when no one is happy with the status quo.

The Harris campaign should have campaigned on issues that would attract progressives and others on the left. Instead they tried to get conservatives to leave their cult by touting the endorsement of Dick fucking Cheney and his incredibly unpopular daughter and saying they’ll close the borders and continue funding Netanyahu’s genocide. It’s like Harris didn’t want to win.

If Democrats want to win they need to stop being Republicans.

I feel unsafe looking at that picture.

Butchering your pals is less of a problem than enslaving other human beings.

More to the point it’s just bad. It’s incredibly grindy, has an incongruous tech tree, and the A.I. (both enemy and ally) is trash. It’s also mostly a copy of their previous game, Craftopia, which was also bad and has been in Early Access for 4 years now with no signs of ever leaving it.

I don’t hate Palworld because it’s a low effort Pokemon knockoff, I hate Palworld because it’s a low effort Ark knockoff following the same business plan of not finishing their previous game before abandoning it for their new game. At least with Ark you got to ride dinosaurs rather than store-brand Rapidash.

10 year old me would be surprised that my predicted death didn’t happen. As a bit of fun one time my cousin, my sister, and I all wrote obituaries for ourselves and I couldn’t imagine living past 35 so that’s when I set my death date. It would be a bit of a shock for him that I’m staring down the big 4-0 (still a bit of a shock for me).

You should tailor your message so that people will understand it.

Fascists really only speak one language.

It’s time we speak their language and make them understand.
