      He got elected. So obviously he did better at making the people vote for him… And I’d say it’s quite an achievement to convince that many people to vote for a convicetd felon, who lies, doesn’t like democracy, is likely to make life worse for everyone …

      Not every argument can be won by pointing the finger at someone who is worse.

          Harris did not win. Proving the lesser evil argument failed to win over voters.

            People didn’t choose the lesser evil, they only chose their kind of evil. Which is unquestionably the greater one.

              Your argument of lesser evil is irrelevant. The voters have proven this.

              Fearmongering is how Fascists win over voters. Kamala was the lesser Fascist.

                I don’t understand why it is irrelevant and how voters choosing greater evil proved this.

                What are you even trying to say - that there’s no such thing as lesser evil because voters chose greater evil? Or that Kamala is no lesser evil, because voters chose greater evil?

                  Democrats do not get to run on fearmongering. They get to run on hope.

                  When the response to genocide is “Trump would be worse!” there is no hope offered. Everything in this campaign was fearmongering. And Democrats do not get to run on fearmongering to make people support their genocidal fascism.

                  Instead they should have provided actual policies to give hope. No genocide. Healthcare. Union rights. Not Liz Cheney.

                  Not “fascism but a little less than Trump.”

              Yes Trump did a better job at fearmongering. That is what Republicans do.

              You do not understand.

              I am saying Harris should not have tried to be a lesser evil but a greater good.

                  Doing a little less genocide is bad

                  Not doing genocide is good.

                  How is this so difficult to understand?

                    Because not doing genocide is not on the menu. You have a little less genocide or a lot more genocide. That’s your lot

                    If you refuse to choose because you don’t like either, you end up with the one you like the least.

                  Enough people would have voted for her if she did. But she did not.

        Do you realize that is exactly how trump won? He didn’t play up how many palistinian would die because of his support of Israel. He won by pointing at immigrants and said “those are the problem”, that and attacking kamala’s character pointing out superfluous flaws and making derogatory statements.
