Yeah whatever, that’s a feature. Reddit became worse once it became a safe place for conservatives and center-right liberals to gather.
Conservative, TheDonald, KiA, red pill, et. all made Reddit worse.
I don’t want a second Reddit. Can better avoid eternal September issues if they self select to fuck off
But I guess that’s what .world is for.
Isn’t an election the definition of a zero sum game? People are either voting for you, your opponents, or not at all.
This was a referendum on neoliberal business as usual and they lost, hard.
You would have thought people in this country would have learned that in 2016 when Trump ran against NAFTA and with a populist message that, yes, used immigrants as a scapegoat.
But the neoliberal elite of the party continue to show nothing but disdain for populism, evidenced by how they treated Bernie and choosing candidates who literally run on nothing “fundamentally” changing.
Seeing that fact and choosing not looking inward at the party but instead chastising the laymen is exactly why Democrats lose. OP’s post is endemic of the problem.
Hey look, someone who learned nothing in 2016 and continues to show they’ve learned nothing in this election too.
I’m sure the chastisements and lectures are going to help with dispelling the notion that the Democratic party is a party of smug elitists.
All the exit polls in swing states were showing only 40% or less approve of Biden. You think the outcome would have been any different?
You can blame us for this application, sure. Having an impact on the results of this election? Unlikely
Don’t forget Hispanics!
ITT: excuses
If you live in a democracy with first past the poll elections with an electoral college, then you should understand how the system works and vote accordingly.
If you understand, then you understand that only swing states matter and you’re essentially free to vote as you feel in solid red or blue states.
Pipe dreams will usually poll well with people stupid enough to believe them.
What’s with y’all always being so willing to show how you bleed when scratched?
Dick Cheney endorsed Kamala.
Neither of these facts alone necessarily implicate the candidates. You really have to consider the context. Being endorsed by someone hardly means you keep their company.
What is the point of comparing Helene to Katrina? Harvey was also a 4.
Why discount the impact of Katrina just because there were systematic issues? It was a natural disaster and that was the impact.
Because it comes off to me like you’re trying to “well ackshully” about Helene being really the most devastating hurricane.
Why are you making this some type of competition?
Right? Imagine believing there are enough conscientious progressives / leftists to flip CA red because of third party voting. Sure, Jan.
You’re nice for engaging in good faith.
It’s a bit funny that people who seem to think they are the politics, Marx, and communism understanders don’t even seem to understand basic Marxism that I picked up in an intro to political philosophy class, which covered Marx for all of about two weeks.
You wouldn’t be here without us
People win suits against the police all the time. It’s just the police rarely face consequences for it, especially as an institution.
We know this.
In an electoral college system, only swing states matter.
But parties will pay attention if votes are siphoned from them. If you’re not in a swing state, a third party vote has basically no negative effect but may have a positive effect of influencing a major party.
I think it’s more than arguable that voting for Kamala in Louisiana or Mississippi or even potentially California is a bigger waste of a vote than voting third party.
Change your default sort.
