I actually agree with you. However, the right wing won, full stop unfortunately.

Arguing “no true leftist” or “Your side” is pointless. The Right won and no amount of semantics or told you so is going to change the results.

So when they start mass deporting or rounding up trans people we can just say “the dems didn’t run progressive enough policie for me” and wash our hands of it I guess.

Trump won every swing state. He lost my state and all of my states electoral college delegates are going to Harris. I could have voted for Mickey Mouse and this fact would not be different.

Other voters in swing states had real issues with the economy, crime, and less so the genocide in Israel.

Kamala unfortunately pivoted to the right and embraced republicans and corporate CEO’s. Why vote for republican light (Kamala) when you can just vote republican (Trump)? I assume this is what people were thinking.

I’m not sure those people exist. Lemmy seems to think they do but the electorate doesn’t reflect that at all and unless they’re ready to arm themselves and fight (and they’re not, as much as they like to talk about it online) they may as well not exist.

Not sure what you are responding to. Your response is kind of vague. Voters are saying they voted on the economy and immigration among other issues. Trump was speaking to these issues while Kamala was not.

In other words, they were lied to and bought it hook, line, and sinker.

These voters had issues and concerns.

Trump addressed them.

Kamala and the DNC shamed them and only said it would be worse under Trump.

Voters are worried about the economy. It was the number one issue, especially in swing states.

Trump had a news conference and talked about how expensive beans are.

Kamala had a news conference where she talked about how the economy was already better, while embracing Dick Cheney and 80 corporate CEOs.

Harris/Biden ran a dumb campaign. You cant only blame the voters for the loss. They didnt own those campaign decisions.

There’s plenty of blame to go around and the DNC bear the majority of it for sure.
