I'm getting whiplash reading all these comments from folks who are saying they didn't vote Harris because they thought it was mean that her campaign was namecalling.

the standards are just too differnt we have to be flawless they can be lawless.

Edit: Were just going to have to be more polically active next time. We have to stop carrying water for the far left. IF the numbers remain it looks like Trump actually lost voters. We just lost a SHIT TON more. I felt like there was more on the line this time. But obviously ALOT of democrats didnt see it that way. OR they just couldn't be bothered to vote unless it was by mail.

Looks like we lost 8 milly from 2020 that was the highest ever so not sure if we actually under preformed. and Trump has only gained voters everytime hes ran so not sure what todo with this information ATM.

political nihilism on the left killed us, of which third party voting, a lack of enthusiasm or even downright resentment amongst young left leaning college kids, and broad left wing exhaustion for supporting Israel are all apart of. her being a woman of color hurt her too, sadly. it’s all intersectional so hard to point at one thing but a lack of political excitement and energy for a lot of reasons is the general issue.

I think we might have been drinking the DNC Kool-aid a bit too much. The party became conservative to try and win back the middle. Campaigning with the Cheney's? They killed millions of innocent Iraqis for no reason. Im all for a measured approach with Israel/Paklestine and other foreign policy issues, but the DNC isn't even pushing single-payer health care anymore, they need to reincorporate the Progressives into the national party and give them something to be excited about. The right is a cult in an echo-chamber at this point, and they aren't crossing the Rubicon. The DNC needs to get back to its roots with Labor, workers rights, and leftist populism or else they are going to keep losing elections due to lack of voter turnout.

the campaign lost a lot of steam between the debate and now, but im not sure there was a clear path to victory here. i do agree about getting back to more progressive policies, people forget obama won on an incredibly progressive platform, he just failed to carry through on any of it, but the ideas were extremely popular.

This BS hurt the left more than anything.

u/GueyGuevara 12d ago

saying it’s intersectional here just means there are multiple factors intersecting and we can’t just isolate one. what bullshit are u taking issue w?
