I feel you, my point is that the time for fighting for a better democrat candidate is during the primaries (or now)
And yet even (now) when leftists state even the mildest of criticisms against liberals, we get accused of not being able to differentiate between liberals and fascists. “Both Sides The Same”- right?
And plenty of people do try to get better candidates elected during the primaries. You know who makes that damn near impossible? The fucking DNC. They are the ones who decides who gets the nomination, not the people. In 2016 we finally had proof of that when they colluded with the Clinton campaign against Bernie Sanders, and if you think that was anything new or has changed in any way- you aren’t paying as close of attention as you imagine you are. In the ensuing lawsuit the DNC successfully argued in court that the DNC is “well within their rights to select their own candidate”. This is despite the fact that their own charter promises ‘impartiality and even handedness’. They argued that was a mere “political promise” (aka an outright lie) and that it was “political rhetoric” that is not enforceable in federal courts.
So I’ll ask you, if it’s the DNC who decides who the nomination goes to and not the people, does that sound ‘Democratic’ to you? To me that sounds exactly like the Oligarchs are already in control and have been for a long time. How else are we supposed to fight for a better candidate other than try to educate others?
The vast majority of voters aren’t even aware that even went down, because ‘surprised Pikachu face’ it was barely covered in the ‘mainstream media’. The ONLY hope we have is waking people up to the realities of the situation, and liberals constantly blaming leftists for their failings isn’t helping that cause at all.
Plenty of “leftists” online actively shit talked Harris weeks before the election.
Ok? Let’s say for the sake of argument that all these people you claim to have seen with tons of support here and on reddit were actually leftists. Do you think they were doing that in order to get Trump elected? ‘Weeks before the election’ pretty much everyone had already made their mind up who they were voting for. The so-called ‘moderates’ who voted for Trump were not swayed by them.
The sad truth is that the U.S. elections are a clown show and it’s more of a popularity contest than about policy. Most Republicans have no idea what Trumps plan/platform actually is other than “get rid of as many brown people as we can”, and not an insignificant amount of Democratic supporters liked Harris simply for being a woman of color with a D next to her name. And that is exactly why Harris was less popular than Trump to these supposed ‘moderates’, because she was a woman and a person of color. I don’t know if you have noticed or not, but we kind of have a huge problem with racism and misogyny in the U.S. The few supposed leftists you saw online ‘shit talking’ her couldn’t make her an old white man, no matter how much they sucked on her asshole.
At any rate as I have already pointed out, it’s highly likely that Harris did win, but Elon helped his ‘good buddy’ Trump rig the elections- so it likely wouldn’t have mattered if every single non MAGAt in the country voted for the pro-slavery cop anyway.
because they fucking can’t, the are in the minority fucking everywhere.
It’s true that they are in the minority, it’s not true that they are powerless to do anything about it. There are plenty of things they could do to make life Hell for the Trump administration, but many of them are rolling over like good little puppets. Could it be because the D’s and the R’s are both basically on the same side and only exist to give us the illusion of choice? Nah, couldn’t be that.
The plurality of American voters (almost a majority) are morons with the memory of a goldfish
You’ll get almost no argument from me here except for the fact that it’s not because they are morons, it’s because they are ignorant by design. I would (not) like to see the effect 100 years of anti-left propaganda, “red scares”, sabotaging education, crony capitalism, ‘corporate personhood’, rigged elections, corrupt politicians, media being 100% controlled by billionaires, and foreign interference coupled with an archaic voting system would do to your country but if you think your people would make better decisions in such a scenario- we will have to agree to disagree on that.
Both the DNC and the GOP intentionally keep us at each other throats so that we are so busy fighting each other that we wont notice that the real enemy is them and the billionaires they serve, and they have the not-so insignificant power of the largest propaganda machine in the entire world helping them with that project. Yes, one side is “better”, but only just enough better to get around 50% of the vote each election. So weird that works out that way- right?
and now they are looking to shift the blame for what they themselves have caused.
And you are on here helping them to do just that. Do you imagine it’s a coincidence that the Liberals are working overtime to blame Leftists for the mess they helped cause? Leftists are the reason that Trump won- right? Leftists are too stupid to tell the difference between the two parties- right? It has nothing at all to do with their candidate being a literal trash human being- right?
why isn’t the question: “why are the Republicans doing it?” in the first place…
That’s a fair question, but one with a much simpler answer. If you were a Billionaire/ Group of Billionaires who made their fortune by exploiting people and you had the ability to literally buy the Government in order to insure that will never change- you would be a fool not to. Their job was made easy by having only two political parties to buy. They then set about turning half the country against the other half- again to distract from what they are doing. Then along comes a wild card in the form of Trump. A megalomaniac who used the racism and hatred of “Liberal” ideals and worship of the ruling class that the Republicans had carefully fostered to win massive support among the racist and hateful half of the country. Remember that the establishment Republicans did not want anything to do with Trump when he first started in politics, so much so that the only person he could get to be his VP this time around was formerly a ‘never Trumper’ (you know he hates that). Once the Republicans saw there was no stopping the hate train, they had little choice but to hop aboard or be crushed by it. et voilà! Fascism comes to “The Land of the Free”.
