the online left had no impact on this election, because we have no impact period, there aren't that many of us, and only we care about what we have to say, and we spent all our time arguing with each other.

harlotprincess.bsky.social•63 days ago

girl, no. the democrats ran on more cops, more genocide, more deportation and at best ignoring trans people. that's why they lost. it has literally nothing to do with the online left.

iulianus.bsky.social•63 days ago

I mean I wish we could claim the credit for her losing, because then the democrats would actually have to take us seriously, but everyone excluding a certain kind of very online person knows that's not the case.

annatleigh.bsky.social•63 days ago

But it makes it easier to radicalize the average normie against "the left".

Which in their view is not about affordable healthcare, gay rights, or even trans healthcare.

It's about firebombing walmarts, calling everything racist, saying a bearded man is literally a woman if he honestly says so.

iulianus.bsky.social•63 days ago

firebombing walmart is only something I have heard from libs to attack leftists for doing actual organizing instead of just acting as mindless democratic party drones. Never heard a republican bring that up. They don't know that the left exists, they think we're liberals.

nerodia.bsky.social•63 days ago

Democrats will really be like "you believe in progressive policy? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, winning elections" and then not win elections

harlotprincess.bsky.social•63 days ago

the problem wasn't people mad at leftists, it was people mad at centrists because they weren't responding to real issues with anything helpful.

harlotprincess.bsky.social•63 days ago

like yhe outpouring of love for Luigi should have completely dissuaded you from believing the problem is people mad about "woke." the dems lost voters because they weren't woke enough.

annatleigh.bsky.social•63 days ago

Luigi is different, because healthcare is an issue that impacts even your average MAGA voter

harlotprincess.bsky.social•63 days ago

yeah, so are all the other issues leftists champion. the problem is democrats are opposed to fixing those issues and that's why they lose voters. like the democrats don't have a leftist problem, the left has a Democrat problem. nobody wants to vote for a party that just rolls over for corporate cash

harlotprincess.bsky.social•63 days ago

like only about a quarter of voters actually voted for trump. most Americans do not vote because they see no point when the dems don't fight.

moonmelons.bsky.social•63 days ago

They lost cause they openly let Trump run a field day on blaming Kamala for groceries and gas and inflation and shoved one thumb up their ass with the other in their mouths while Trump told people he'd fix it.

Like that was what cost them the election, they didn't even TRY to fight Trump on that.

harlotprincess.bsky.social•63 days ago

like ask a million people why they didn't vote for kamala and almost none of them are going to mention "the online left."

autitranstomboy.bsky.social•63 days ago

This type of stupid discourse is going to get us killed

harlotprincess.bsky.social•63 days ago

uh no, that's the state sponsored deathsquads that are gonna do that, and the dems gave them more money.

harlotprincess.bsky.social•63 days ago

like they are already killing us, but its harlotprincess on blusky complaining about dems being useless that is the cause. yeah. cool.

autitranstomboy.bsky.social•63 days ago

Well enjoy losing your rights while complaining about things that are the Republicans fault and doing active voter suppression and fucking over the people that want to protect your rights just because of you being a horrible extremist and them not passing your purity test

hey sorry for this but seeing your take while searching for a holding biden accountable account led me here, so have to ask how do you feel about this? https://www.advocate.com/politics/biden-signs-anti-lgbtq-bill im not playing "gotcha" here but do you sincerely believe blue folks EVER had your well being as a priority.

iulianus.bsky.social•63 days ago

go fuck yourself you blue maga fascist piece of shit

nullconvention.bsky.social•63 days ago

Yes, "see you in the camps." As if that hasn't been the most exciting thing you've commanded your fingers to hammer out onto your keyboard ever since the exhortations to vote blue, no matter who.

It's funny you've got so little power, you think WE have more leverage, even. Gave up before starting.

harlotprincess.bsky.social•63 days ago

lol, shut up. I am absolutely done with you dipshits that think the people with the least power in the world are the cause of everyone's problems and not the political party that just lost a layup election cause they couldn't stop killing kids for five seconds.

autitranstomboy.bsky.social•63 days ago

harlotprincess.bsky.social•63 days ago
