(this is a sarcastic post meant to highlight the absurdity of some of the “greater good” rhetoric we’ve been hearing, especially around leaving vulnerable populations like disabled people behind in case of revolution, basically accelerationism)

Keep going... What drives turnout? Citizen campaigning.
Maybe if leftists didn't spend the year leading up to the election protesting the better candidate we would have seen a better outcome.
So Kamala had no duty to motivate the people she wanted to vote for her? That seems a bit backwards from how I've always understood elections.
I agree that "Not Trump" actually should be enough in today's climate - but it wasn't in 2016, so why trot out that playbook again? Seems shortsighted and stupid, almost as if corporate donations and Republican voters seemed more imporantant to the DNC than Democrat voters, who were just expected to be "in the bag."
The proper assignment of blame is on Joe Biden for not getting out of the way to have a real primary.
People weren't given a choice for their candidate. Excitement drives Democratic turnout, and they've been tamping down expectations for decades now. There's nothing exciting about the campaign strategy of "we're not Donald Trump."
Blaming leftists for the failings of liberals is what keeps pushing the party establishment to the right.
I see the BlueMAGA crowd has moved from "you have to vote for Democrats" to "you can never criticize Democrats"
Moved? That's been the policy since 2016.
