well yes it still wasn’t great, but it was better than trump and people didn’t want to acknowledge that simple fact. republicans will win from now on because people expect democrats to be perfect and refuse to vote for them unless they are. sad fact and reality, but people complain about trump and fascism, but won’t vote for the party who is better. even slightly better is still better. one step forward or destroy democracy and people would rather not vote at all than vote for democrats.

like at this rate people just have to accept we’re gonna have a dictatorship because they don’t care enough to vote for the party who at least cares about the constitution. oh well.

and I also repeat that bare minimum is still better than finish the job…. both not good…. never said I agree with any of it btw just said it’s a fact that one is slightly better than the other

I haven’t seen convincing evidence that she lost because of her stance on Palestine. She lost because she didn’t discuss the economy enough. That was the most important issue of this election by a long shot

But the people who made Palestine their main issue in this election believed that Gaza couldn’t possibly get worse. I told them that Trump would let Netanyahu do whatever he wants, including bombing the entire Gaza Strip, giving them a blank check for any weapons they wanted, and letting him annex the entire strip. They claimed that was already happening, which was patently false. Now it’s *actually* happening, and you’ll get deported if you criticize Israel for it

The PA senate election probably would have helped significantly if even some of those Green Party voters voted for democrats instead. But now there’s another red seat in the senate. There have been confirmations and votes where one more Dem seat would have been crucial

If it was my family, I would have voted for the least harmful yet viable option. Not voting or voting for a third party candidate when my family’s life is on the line would be especially silly

I saw that study, and I still don’t see any evidence that this margin would have changed the result of the election. It said “more likely” but should have asked it in a “yes/no” format. There were also tons of Muslims in Michigan who voted for Trump instead because they thought he would be better than Harris

You can mute this if you want. She lost because she didn’t talk about the economy enough. That was a key issue for many people in this election — not Gaza. The study you’re citing focuses on a specific subset of Americans (Biden 2020/other 2024 voters) and doesn’t necessarily reflect the entirety of the country. The average voter did not have Palestine as their top priority. The majority of this country still doesn’t think a genocide is even happening

bros that’s why I said republicans will win from now on and we have to accept the dictatorship like presidents we get from now on because democrats will never be perfect so they won’t get anyone’s votes. idk why you don’t wanna hear that like ok go protest and see how that stops republicans from winning lol im pro-palestine for crying out loud, but again, bare minimum is better than get the job done. that’s just facts

Wooooo! Certainly LGBTQ+ deserves to be reduced to LG! Children deserve to have their healthcare taken away! Fuck the food banks! I didn’t get everything I wanted so I think minorities should suffer! At least my moral conscience is clean (through Olympic-level mental gymnastics)!
