But your favourite candidate also lost but it's not her fault according to you, it is everybody else fault. See how hypocritical you are?
Did you rehearse that shadowboxing routine in the shower?
What this has to do with anything?
Nice projection of your own argument.
"Projection of your own argument"?
What is that even supposed to mean...
You are complaining about people not voting for Newsom because Newsom is not popular but then pretend other people whine about their candidate being unpopular not being the candidates fault.
I am?
The fact that you specify a single candidate shows you still dont understand what it is youre voting against
Watch the video for context
Fr, funny how these alt-left mfers love democracy except when it turns out their candidate just doesn’t have the votes. If Jill Stein couldn’t win a majority of left voters via a primary, then how is she going to win a national election? And why can’t these alt-left parties ever start grassroots movements at the local level, instead they only care about presidential elections and just want to skip straight to the endorsement without winning any primaries, and if they can’t do that then they take their ball and go home?
This would be funny if Kamala also never won a primary and was the Democratic candidate for the 2024 general election.
Because, like I said, they have no ambitions of political influence. Only virtue-signaling and purity-testing.
Bingo.
It's the whole Palestine thing. They chose not to vote or vote 3rd party, which helped put the side objectively worse for Palestine in control, because they never actually cared about Palestine. They only cared about their own feelings. Their own self satisfaction.
takeaway could be "the democrats would rather lose to fascists than oppose genocide and gain third party voters"
Which is the reason they (dnc) didn't release the post election findings. Of course their die hard supportors won't acknowledge or accept that
They just said they found proof and didn't actually wanna release it. I'm sure that means nothing.
Proof of what? Their failures in general or something else?
Because they clearly don't want to acknowledge anything they did wrong to fix it

The failures of their party. But it's not failure when they know better and actively choose not to, while shaming those who want it.
The DNC is controlled by the same capitalists as Republicans, they just pretend to be nicer.
I still find it hilarious they say they will reach out to constituents more when for 2024 they just ignored the feedback they didn't like
And any feedback was called unrealistic goals (to stop spending money in genocide and support policies that people like to hear).
You lost because of the economy and borders. Genocide supporter
You lost too. As well as everyone you thought you were helping.
I am tunisian I didn't lose anything. I do not share any responsability for maintaining the two party system for 160 years What is destroying Gaza is wespons sales , economic relstion and diplomatic cover which both Biden and Trump is doing and which Harris promised to israel

During genocide joe.
You're confusing them with logic. You're going to boil their brains. Please have mercy.
Stop. You're hurting their feelings and that's going to force them to blow their vote on a 3rd party or not vote again, leading to more conservative fascism.
