This performative outrage against “far Leftists” is tiresome. The only ones wondering “if it was worth it” here are the ones who backed a losing genocidal campaign. Deal with your own guilty conscience, don’t try to pawn that shit off on me - ThreadSky

Some days I think about all the far Leftists who spent the entire 2024 presidential campaign on performative outrage against Kamala Harris, and wonder if they think it was worth it.

The outrage seems performative to these people because they can't understand actually caring

Winning for the sake of winning allows monsters ans tyrants to hold power.

if they did what we wanted and they still lost, they might have some claim to this smug superiority.

instead, they did literally nothing to earn left wing votes and then have the audacity to complain.

donbones.bsky.social•33 days ago

They refuse to look inward and accept that they did not run a flawless campaign.

I'm no strategist, but if the left are powerful enough to tank an election, then you need to find a way to get them to vote for you.

tllgy.bsky.social•32 days ago

This is the wildest part to me. Like, even the "moderates" that you insist are more important than the left are dumb enough to believe in and vote for Trump, so to beat him you still have to CONVINCE THEM TO VOTE FOR YOU INSTEAD. They don't even understand how their own preferred strategy would work

On the flip side, if “the left” aren’t deemed powerful enough to listen to and adopt some of their policies, you can’t kick and scream and blame them if they don’t vote tor your bad candidate.

donbones.bsky.social•33 days ago

They are either insignificant, or they're not. It can't be both!

toxicaudri.bsky.social•33 days ago

To me it just sounds like they are fascists. "the enemy is both strong and weak."

funmustbealways.bsky.social•33 days ago

And yet I hear both all the time lmao

If Trump is going to be criticized for never taking ownership for his actions, I don't see why the Democratic Party should get the pass.

toxicaudri.bsky.social•33 days ago

100% Why should anyone allow dems to act like fascists just because fascists are gonna act like fascists?

And the only likes you're getting on this boring liberal copypasta are from other guilty consciences. You're all just patting each other on the back for selling your souls

dissidentlove.bsky.social•33 days ago

Don't blame them. THEY voted for Kodos.

Why do American "far-leftists" have to ask this question? They may not have gotten what they wanted but at least they didn't waste 1.5 billion dollars doing it

britculpsapp.bsky.social•33 days ago

which part of the outrage was performative?

also, this wasn’t the single issue for many people

were also four months into this current regime; these people aren’t helping their cause of getting a different result in the future by continuing to beat this dead horse

richkurt.bsky.social•33 days ago

We were actually outraged at Biden and Kamala committing genocide and wanting to run with fascism lite, so these jackasses call it performative?

We’re still outraged at Biden. Fuck him forever.

I would have preferred spending 4 years yelling at an administration that could possibly cave to public pressure and backlash, then spending 4 years in perpetual fear of being rounded up into a death camp for being autistic.

cocoaroulette.bsky.social•33 days ago

"yelling at an administration that could possibly cave to public pressure and backlash"

69anarchywillwin69.bsky.social•33 days ago

Did Biden cave to public pressure and backlash? Did Harris? If they were going to cave then they should have done it on the campaign trail.

pupvictor.bsky.social•33 days ago

They lied to our faces about "tirelessly working for a ceasefire". Officials in their own administration admitted it.

They weren't going to cave.

whisperingsage.bsky.social•33 days ago

Yep.

toxicaudri.bsky.social•33 days ago

Nailed it. If they were willing to outright lie to their voter base abs refuse to give into demands even though it threatened to cost them the election at the time. They made the calculation that it was better to lose to the facists to get ehat they wanted anyway.

The thing is that routinized extermination already existed and was regularly funded by establishment Democrats. But it was happening in Gaza. Dems didn't budge under public pressure - they sicced the cops on the public. The fate you fear is the reality for Gazans.

cocoaroulette.bsky.social•33 days ago

The thing you learn quickly about libs is that they already know a dem administration won't actually cave to public pressure, especially after the Biden admin. They just don't actually care as long as "their guy" is in office.

ryderofchaos.bsky.social•33 days ago

No the fate I fear is experiencing the holocaust first hands as an autistic person......which is now extremely possible now......

kaijubakeoff.bsky.social•33 days ago

Appreciate the clarification. So you clearly understand why someone wouldn't vote for the party that supports a holocaust that's currently underway. Know what I mean? It wasn't hyperbole to the people killed by US bombs.

ryderofchaos.bsky.social•33 days ago

All it told me was "I'm not worthy of life as much as the people of gaza". You traded the lives of neurodivergent people for Gaza.

kaijubakeoff.bsky.social•33 days ago

This is bleakly solipsistic
