    Her platform and campaigning wasn’t good enough. It’s the unfortunate truth and people need to accept it. Trump got less votes than 2020, and he still won. Because Harris didn’t inspire enough people to vote. She tried to work with the “progressive” Republicans and get their vote. Like I said above “Better than Trump” is not something that incentivizes people to vote for.

      Better than Trump wasn’t her platform. I will die on this hill because I’m so sick of this. Look at her platform. What is too far right about her platform? Tell me specifically.

      No her platform and campaign weren’t the biggest problem. The way you’re talking and everyone is parroting that was. The “everything or nothing” people were. The left sows its own apathy.

      And, regardless of all of that, regardless of the fact that her platform was actually good, the idea that you only get to look at her platform in a vacuum is a complete joke. The idealism of the left is fucking us all. This isn’t a theoretical exercise. You realize Trump wants to pull out of NATO? That the right wants to outlaw life saving medical procedures? You realize real people are going to actually, without hyperbole, die because of this election?

      We’re in a fight against a Christian fascist state right now. Miss me with this bullshit. I would have been 100% motivated to vote for a turkey sandwich. This is all such a joke and this narrative is infuriating. The left is constantly acting like a bunch of toddlers kicking and screaming because they got the wrong ice cream flavor while the right marches towards the end of everything I thought we believed in.
