    Well, sure, but remember that Harris was so terribly transphobic many people just plain didn’t vote at all! Which is obviously the Democrats’ fault for running such a terribly transphobic candidate.

    And yes, this option that we have here, this - ban transgender federal funds, make trans people terrorists - was the only other choice available. But that still means it’s the Democrats’ fault because otherwise you’d have to blame people who didn’t do the one most important thing they could to prevent this and obviously we can’t blame them.

    Look, we’ll call it even and should we somehow make it to the midterms next year we’ll all decide to protest by not voting again. Then the Democrats will really start paying attention to us! Pretty soon after that, bang-zoom! Workers will seize the means of production and . . do something with chains. Ride bikes maybe? Anyway, sounds fun.

      With coalition building and solidarity like this, I can’t imagine how they lost.

      No point in electing dems if they dont fix anything, prosecute crimes against humanity or coups, etc. They haven’t shown willingness so far.

          The point is they distract and steal resources from real solutions and perpetuate credibility and permissibility of systems the fascists need if they want to win.

          And also that they’re absolute dog shit at winning elections because they’re not even trying to do what the people want.

          Notice how you’re just attacking the left, people whose votes ypu tjink your masters are entitled to, rather than discussing any actual solution or preventive measure to any of these problems, further cementing a coalition you freely admit the other side sees as dead and buried rather than opposing fascism–by yourselves or with the left?
