Again, people you turn on, to court fascist votes, are not LIKELY to want to support you politically.

You lost 10M fucking votes. TEN MILLION.

So maybe all those people are all secret fascists even tho giant swathes of them are literally going to be harmed by fascism.

Or JUST MAYBE, it's because they could tell they were fucked either way and didn't see the value in supporting bougie ass "liberals" prepared to throw them to the wolves for a miniscule handful of cracker suburban votes

Idiots

Like it or not, your base? Are queer ppl, they're Black ppl, they're Brown people, they're Muslims, they're young people.

Your candidate ran on "we will continue arming Israel while they do a genocide, we're going to fund violent racist murderpigs, we're going to pass fascist immigration laws even better than the fascists do, student protestors are antisemitic terrorists and we'd rather not talk about trans and queer people during a fascist pogrom against them."

That's how you lose 10M votes

I am not 10M people. I warned you that I cannot be millions of votes for you. I told anyone that would listen running to the right of George W. Bush was going to result in losing MILLIONS of voters. They didn't vote for Trump, they just stayed home; like I TOLD YOU they fucking would.

You said "lol, nah" and here we are.

It literally does not MATTER if YOU agree with the calculus or not. YOU are ALSO not "millions of voters."

The job, is to get elected. You do what you have to win the election.

Your leaders decided funding and enabling a genocide, hugging it out with cops, passing fascist immigration laws, and hanging out with the Cheney clan, were MORE IMPORTANT than getting elected.

Don't get pissed off at people who realized that and said "naw." This was WHOLLY fucking predictable.

@AnarchoNinaWrites thanks for stating this so clearly, I feel like I am going nuts these days

@isaaccp @AnarchoNinaWrites

She provides sanity.

I get a dose everyday.

@AnarchoNinaWrites for over a year since they decided to keep funding a genocide, I had the same thought. All of those were deliberate choices that they knew were unpopular. This is exactly the direction they wanted and decided on that instead of representing their constituents, providing a vision that good leadership requires, or spending any political capital or goodwill to improve obvious problem areas.

The reelection of Donald Fucking Trump is Biden's legacy because his actions are indistinguishable from the actions of someone intentionally trying to get him reelected in that position.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Muslims wanted Democrats to stop arming Israel because they knew it would be popular with Muslims in swing statws. I was talking about this for a long time. Democrats chose arming Israel... And now liberals will go and call Muslims stupid for not voting for a genocidal authoritarian who killed their family members? I just can't with these people. It was a matter of self-respect.
@AnarchoNinaWrites the strategy that "votes of the left are in the bag, they have nowhere else to go, so we can just triangulate right indefinitely" has been tried both by the #Labour party (in the UK) and by the #SNP (in Scotland). For Labour, it lost them millions of votes. For the SNP, it lost them #ScottishIndependence, which is their raison d'etre. But both parties are still playing the same stupid game – because both are chasing donations from #kleptocrats.

@AnarchoNinaWrites From what I’ve seen it may not have actually mattered what the Dems ran on because a lot of the people who voted for Trump or sat out the election had no idea what was going on, didn’t even know what Dems were running on, and/or had a very distorted idea of what they were running on.

Could Dems have done more to overcome that? Probably! But the information vacuum was a big problem.

@MisuseCase yeah no, they got 81 million votes in 2020 running on:

end the forever wars
curtail police violence
dismantle the migrant carceral system
punish fascists

So... no.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Things have changed in the past 4 years, including Elon Musk getting control of Twitter, which has downstream effects on other media.

He bought it for a reason after all!

@MisuseCase Go make excuses for people who ran a campaign for fascists and lost to fascists elsewhere.

We have 3 elections worth of data about how to run against this guy; two times they ran as Republicans and lost, one time Biden lied his ass off, promised progress and got 81 million votes.

I'd say I'm going to miss you, but I won't. Goodbye.
