No more talking. Go put your baby-brained, corpse-hearted takes into the toilet where they belong, child.
Youre saying the most effective strategy for winning elections is for millions and millions of people to change their minds about something they feel emotional about.
That seems way harder to do than getting ONE candidate to change her positions to appeal to people.
Harris on Not Blowing up Palestinians: "lmao fuck them kids"
—Kwame Ture
"But she lost"
Them: "Her campaign had 1 flaw only"
Fact is, those that either didn't vote in the national races (president, Senate, house) or voted third party thew the election.
Hopefully (no longer a guarantee), we will have
Also, hopefully, since federal laws depend on local enforcement, the worst of it can be delayed long enough for it to make a difference, at least in the blue states I don't think red state pollies will try to stop anything.
There is less that 5 million difference in the popular vote.(Not all submitted yet)
There is a 250k difference where it counted (EC)
Again, way to own the Dems.
And again, why weren't you protesting at Republican rallies?
(See the peace plan of 2020 - where netty boasted about how he would wait for 4 years to attack Gaza)
Your point was soooo made!
You won!
Congrats!
Hope you feel great about your decision!
Those who voted down ballot only, or didn't vote at all are real heroes.
A candidate that promised people what they want.
It’s so, so simple.
The point that you can't enforce discipline across an entire society is still true.
"Vote Blue No Matter Who" came with the implicit promise that if we did that, exactly this wouldn't happen. And here we are.
maybe on the state level, but you have to undo a lot of entrenched enshittification. Almost certainly not as much as the federal Dems tho.
If you don't vote Dem -- there is no viable Dem Soc or Socialist Party -- then nihilism & cynicism is your policy?
Democracies are never solid. We perpetuate them in order to refine them -- and it TAKES TIME.
Yeah. Apathy is a SURE way to restore it.
Total pipedream obviously.
Neither do my $$$ contributions.
I wish I were a Leftist so that I could go through life and never take any responsibility for anything that happens to myself or others!

2. on virtually every economic issue we are objectively correct, in ways that you can mathematically prove using econ 101 concepts.
