The Republicans Should've Faced Way More Criticism During The 2024 Presidential Campaign - Lemmy.ca

What a stupid post. Yeah it’s progressives’ fault mango Mussolini is POTUS /s. This is a talking point manufactured by MAGA handlers that some broadly Dem-supporting people choose to broadcast, now outside the US. This is a type of brainrot that undermines critical thinking, divides the left, and helps elect the right. Canada deserves better

helps elect the right

Trump, the farthest right viable candidate, was elected because he got the most votes.

Regardless of your feelings about her, Kamala was the most viable opposition to Trump.

Some people were most active being anti-Kamala.

In your opinion, did the anti-Kamala influencers hurt Trump’s election, or did they help Trump’s election?

Kamala was the most viable opposition to Trump.

You really believe that, huh?

Who, in our shitty 2 party system, had a better chance?
Anyone else. Throw Bernie’s half animated corpse up there as the candidate. Congrats he would’ve won. Because he wasnt a cop trying to get elected to the anticop party, nor far right economically trying to get elected to the center right party.

Bernie’s name wasn’t on my ballot so he couldn’t have been a viable opponent. The only person on the ballot with any chance of beating Trump was Harris.

Bear in mind, I think the Dems could have run a much a stronger ticket with someone other than Harris but that doesn’t change the fact that she was the only viable competition in the election that actually happened.

Cool, you know you can write in the candidate, right?

In any case if dems wanted to be elected, they could try not being republican. Even in the face of fascism no self respecting person would vote for a republican.

Would love to have whatever drugs you need to think writing someone in would have actually been a good idea

It had a better chance than a rightwing cop trying to get elected to the dem party, or an even more senile Biden.

You can’t run incredibly right wing candidates and expect anyone to vote for them, unless you’re running them in the furthest right party.
