It's funny (funny in the sense that I have an uncomfortable chance of not fucking surviving the next four years) that so many self-proclaimed leftists have a strategy that boils down to "Let the fascists win and then complain about it".
Including a bunch here who have also seemingly deleted months worth of their comments as cover.
Don't worry, they'll have fresh accounts with which to repeat the same points as before, just with an added dash of "I don't believe anyone ever ACTUALLY held those opinions you're criticizing (that I deleted on my previous account)"
Funny that so many centrists have a strategy that boils down down to, "ignore leftists and then complain when they don't vote for us."
Every "I won't vote for Kamela because she's almost as bad as Trump on Palestine", signed our death warrant.
honestly I think Joe Biden withdrawing after the primaries is the biggest nail in the coffin. The primary elections are worth like 10 billion in free media coverage. The second biggest is probably Kamala campaigning with Liz Cheney who has like 15% approval and dropped her poll numbers every time. Distant 3rd is maybe Gaza.
Yes, but they weren't the majority who fucked us.
It's just more striking when some of the people fucking us are self-proclaimed leftists who are supposed to be on our side.
It's a big list
The "Yeah Trump wants to rape women and kill queers, but burger costs more and that's somehow Biden's fault!" names are on there too.
Lot of people want us dead for very stupid reason.
How many "leftists" do you think exist in the US? Like, is this more or less than 1% of the electorate? 5%? This has the same energy as The Onion's "still too early to tell which minority to blame for the election". Maybe the Dems just actually suck ass.
Holy shit, I explicitly say that leftists weren't the core cause and I still get accused of saying as much. Fucking insane.
