& considering all the replies to this are dems saying shit like 'haha fafo' or 'leopards faces' its really not fucking hard to see why they fail to massively at building coalitions. this is a person who is seemingly the exact sort of person u generally could persuade! she voted for biden in 2020 ffs - ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

she's not some leftist like me theyve made clear they dont want. she is still someone engaged w electoral politics. but her wants weren't 'not trump, more neoliberalism, we're republicans really'

it was 'healthcare & wages & support'

Republicans stopped being Republican in the Reagan era. You missed the point as did she. What about the future of her kids? The Dems aren't perfect, but there has to be give and take. This isn't something that just started this year. It's been years in the making. Being blind is no excuse.

idk how if u read what posted & write this

but out of curiosity which & whose rights are u willing to take for the dems to have power?

You're assuming. Given who she voted for?

Shouldn't be assuming anything.

Agree w/you on Dems but disagree w/you trying to paint her in sympathetic light.

F that crap. She knew what she was doing & is now facing consequences.

Spare your empathy for marginalized not the latest Karen update.

im not trying to paint her in a sympathetic light. i am saying there are millions of ppl who have been left behind by both major parties & if liberals actually want to win & stop ppl like trump they would do well to engage w the ppl they have left behind, such as those like this woman, & its silly

arnie.bsky.social•5 days ago

for their 'fafo' bullshit. especially as they have no fucking moral high ground given their looking away during genocide & biden era border policies & everything before that, too

ill continue to spend my actual energy & time focusing on marginalised communities. ppl shouting about this woman wont

I agree, even though people disagree with her, they still shouldn’t retaliate by being these aggressive bullying jerks that wish for the worst for this person, that’s going way too far, and it really isn’t a surprise that people wouldn’t wish to be apart of a side that does that.
