Is it too early to start talking about the abysmal failure of the "Vote Blue No Matter Who" strategy?
Lets discuss the "we're really Republicans, so you Republicans should really vote Harris who will now ignore all leftists who intended to vote for her until they feel like shit and stay home instead of electing her!" strategy Harris tried to use just like Hillary tried to use that also entirely fucked up her voter base because the Dems DON'T want to vote for a Republican in disguise, and SHOCK the Republicans DO NOT CARE if you are 100% identical to their candidate, or ever MORE of a Republican than their candidate they are playing sport politics, they would elect a child molester, convicted felon, calling for ethnic cleansing, and removing all human rights of Women, they DON"T FUCKING CARE! They have no idea what politics, policy, or governance even is, they just want to WIN! Go RED Team!!
Note that the strategy of courting conservatives didn't move the needle even an inch. She got the exact same percentage of votes from registered republicans as Biden did, and it cost her millions of votes. And yet Democrats are already busy setting up the narrative how this is the fault of unelectable left-wing politics (lmao) and they need to move even further right. It's sickening.
It's more like: wut! I gotta get off my couch and what in line. Fuck that. It can't be that bad.
Oh it's going to be bad now but don't worry about voting again. He said so. You can stay on your couch and never vote again...even if you really want to.
Do stop with the liberal hysterics. It hasn't helped you much, has it?
Pretending to be democratic isn't something the US is going to stop doing any time soon, so yes, you will be voting again.

And?
I'm not understanding why you consider quoting the president elect "liberal hysterics ".
Do you fall for everything emanating from incompetent braggarts?
Perhaps don't answer that, because I can already tell that I'm talking to someone who probably also thinks that said incompetent braggart siccing a white supremacist lynch mob on the capitol qualifies as an actual coup-attempt.
Stop pretending that Trump is some all-powerful cartoonified version of Hitler.
A collection of puritanical profit driven individuals have control over all three branches of government. Last time this happened, I lost the right to healthcare due to my gender, as a small example.
And how has liberal hysterics and gaslighting fixed any of this?
Im sorry I just can't follow your train of thought. Either it's a real issue or it's hysterics. And quoting the president elect is not hysterical.
Since when has capitalists been harmless?
Can you actually tell which issue is real and which isn't after all the hysterics? You know... the only strategy the Democratic party has employed up until now?
What do you propose.
The only thing standing between you and all the right-wing brutality is the willingness of the US public to resist it all.
That's it. Nothing else.
When antifa hit the streets in 2016 there wasn't a liberal in sight, was there?
Liberalism will never resist fascism. It never has.
