    At this point staying home helps Trump. It’s the fucking reason he’s there. Trump votes stayed consistent with 2020 but Dems votes dropped by millions. You saying Harris would be just as bad? This view is pushed by billionaires to help get fascists elected.

      Top Democratic officials who worked on the party’s still-secret autopsy of the 2024 election concluded that Kamala Harris lost significant support because of the Biden administration’s approach to the war in Gaza, Axios has https://web.archive.org/web/20260223002443/https://www.axios.com/2026/02/22/dnc-2024-autopsy-harris-gaza

      Wow, maybe dont run pro-genocide candidates if you want your base to Vote for you? Or do you think the cult-like devotion of the republicans is a positive democrats should follow?

        i fear that they tried to suppress it because they planned on trying the same strategy again in 2028.

        Then again what is the other Option? Not vote for either candidate like in 2024 and let Trump win?

        I’m not a US citizen but I still act similar in my local elections - vote for the candidate that will do less evil when they’re in office, if there is no better option. And I gotta hand it to the DNC they’re really amazing at just cutting off their own legs. Because shooting themselves in the knee can’t describe this.

          Insane levels of Stockholm syndrome on display. “It puts the genocide on the skin, or else it gets the Trump again.”

          What should the German people have done when Hitler rose to power? Knowing what we know now, what would have been the best “option” for them?

          Or, just run a non-genocidal candidate. For God’s sake, the election is years away, and you just take it as obvious that Democrats will choose a monster

          you should always vote and only vote for the most progressive candidate available; do not settle for the lesser evil.

          we’ve been voting for the lesser evil for decades and here we are w trump in the white house and so many liberals disaffected by the system that there aren’t even enough 3rd party voters to make up for the difference.

      Then the Democrats shouldn’t run candidates that will cause millions of people to stay home.

          it’s not about retribution, it’s about complicity w genocides; wars for profit; and baby raping/killing/eating.

          people are slowly becoming disaffected and now there’s so many who won’t participate that aren’t enough 3rd party voters to make up the difference.

              they’re not stupid, they’re disaffected and ignoring why they’re disaffected will lead to more people not voting.

              You’re not going to make genocide popular. What we might be able to do is make the DNC run a candidate that people will vote for.
