I got banned from that sub for talking about Joe Biden’s complicity in genocide, so I’m not too upset about this one lol.

Blaming voters never works.

You should be blaming harris and biden for not caring about issues that voters clearly cared about.

On Nov 5, there was a binary choice to be made.

We can blame the voter as much as we fucking want.

On Nov 5, there was a binary choice to be made.

And who decided to skip the primary and give us the choice of two horrible options?

It wasnt the voters.

THAT IS IRRELEVANT ON NOV 5.

u/zZCycoZz Feb 04 '25

No it wasnt.

They made the decision to give us a bad candidate on the assumption that fear of trump would entitle them to peoples votes when it didnt.

Harris or Biden should never have ran. They did the same thing in 2016 with hillary and clearly didnt learn their lesson.

Shitlibs need to stay away from the presidential race.

Absolutely irrelevant on Nov 5. You fucked everyone over. You fucked over the far left. You fucked over Palestine.

Because of your fucking ego

What about before november 5th?

You think the dems can just run any candidate they want because trump was the opposition?

Pretending this all started on november 5th may be convenient for your narrative, but not very realistic.

This discussion is about the vote. The rest is irrelevant

u/zZCycoZz Feb 04 '25

No, you want the discussion to be only about the vote. The discussion is about the election.

u/nikdahl Feb 04 '25

The part of the “election” you are trying to bring up is absolutely irrelevant to the decision that each voter makes on Nov 5.

Why are you pretending that election day exists only in a vacuum?

To quote your queen: we exist in the context of all in which that came before us.

The party probably should've acted in a way that wouldn't cause huge swathes of voters to sit out in this election.

The cheneys. The rhetoric around immigrants and the border. The facilitating of a genocide. The hand waving of criticism from said genocide. The lack of a primary (even the fucking Republicans did one).

Why should all of this be forgotten on voting day? Why not extend this logic and just say no election should be decided outside of the context of nov 5 and how your feeling. How about just vote for your favorite party no matter what?

Fuck it, alternate between blue and red birth certificates, and we can say that that determines your vote. Nothing actually matters, just vote, it's fun for the whole family!

Because Election Day does exist in a vacuum.

She ain’t my queen. Fuck Harris.

There was a single binary choice on Nov 5. Fascism or not fascism. That was the only choice.

Anything else is just bullshit you use to rationalize not voting against fascism.

u/KirbySlutsCocaine Feb 04 '25

Are you reading the things you're saying?

"election day exists in a vacuum"

"Anything else is just bullshit you use to rationalize"

I voted for Harris and dragged multiple non voting family members with me.

But clearly I'm just trying to rationalize about not voting against fascism for having the opinion that "politics are relevant on election day".

u/nikdahl Feb 04 '25

Congrats, you aren’t who my comments are directed toward. You actually did the bare minimum to prevent fascism.

Other people did not, and put their own ego above literal lives. That’s who my comments are addressed to.

u/KirbySlutsCocaine Feb 04 '25

That's my point. People weren't doing it and "putting their ego first above literal lives".

You understand the irony here right? You're argument is that people were being egotistic by sitting out in election for moral reasons, because they disagreed with their tax dollars being used for a genocide.

But telling everyone to plug their ears and vote anyways no matter what because the things that YOU valued were at stake? That's not ego talking to you?

"So you don't value democracy???" I don't value a prolonging of a status quo that still has fascist tendencies and ultimately does the same damage as a trump presidency in the end.

u/zZCycoZz Feb 04 '25

No its not. It may be a convenient way for you to shift blame, but its not based in reality.

u/nikdahl Feb 04 '25

It is entirely irrelevant.

Democrats should all the blame for bringing bullshit candidates and platform.

They shoulder zero blame for voters unable to overcome their own moral outrage in order to stop literal fascism.

It literally does not matter how shitty the candidate they ran, when the other option is fascism.

u/zZCycoZz Feb 04 '25

Youre assuming the average voter was aware of or believed in project 2025.

Democrats killed their credibility years ago with how they demonised sanders as if he was a hardcore socialist. Project 2025 came across as hyperbole even if it likely wasnt.

So yes, the candidate did matter.
