    I actually agree with you. However, the right wing won, full stop unfortunately.

    Arguing “no true leftist” or “Your side” is pointless. The Right won and no amount of semantics or told you so is going to change the results.

    So when they start mass deporting or rounding up trans people we can just say “the dems didn’t run progressive enough policie for me” and wash our hands of it I guess.

      Trump won every swing state. He lost my state and all of my states electoral college delegates are going to Harris. I could have voted for Mickey Mouse and this fact would not be different.

      Other voters in swing states had real issues with the economy, crime, and less so the genocide in Israel.

      Kamala unfortunately pivoted to the right and embraced republicans and corporate CEO’s. Why vote for republican light (Kamala) when you can just vote republican (Trump)? I assume this is what people were thinking.

        In other words, they were lied to and bought it hook, line, and sinker.

          These voters had issues and concerns.

          Trump addressed them.

          Kamala and the DNC shamed them and only said it would be worse under Trump.

          Voters are worried about the economy. It was the number one issue, especially in swing states.

          Trump had a news conference and talked about how expensive beans are.

          Kamala had a news conference where she talked about how the economy was already better, while embracing Dick Cheney and 80 corporate CEOs.

            Right. We are facing very complex problems that have no simple answers.

            People want a simple answer, and that’s what Trump gave them. Truth is irrelevant.

            The problem is that people on the left tend to actually have ethics and morals.

              And you have made it clear that you prefer they have none.

                What’s your actual endgame then?

                I see you talking a lot of shit but you don’t actually have anything constructive to say. Makes it look like you’re just arguing in bad faith or worse.

                I have a question for you: how is your support of Harris any different than anyone elses?
