And maybe people who repeatedly told others “don’t vote for Harris” should claim some culpability for people not voting for Harris…
But it’s amazing that every time I suggest that, someone has to talk about the faults of the Harris campaign as if you can’t blame more than one party. It’s whataboutism.
If you [general you] tell people not to vote for Harris and they don’t vote for Harris and then Trump wins, you have some culpability.
Cool. I’m not a Democrat and this isn’t about the Democrats. This is about the people who wanted others to not vote for Harris. Stop trying to change the subject.
Who are these people you’re claiming said “don’t vote for Harris?” You and I had plenty of back and fourths before and after the election about what a shit job Biden (and then Harris) was doing campaigning but I never once told anyone who to vote for and I don’t recall anyone else doing that either. You seem to conflate “valid criticism of a candidate and their policies” to “telling you who to vote for” and that just isn’t the case.
You have a very poor memory if you claim you don’t remember anyone saying to not vote for Harris. Considering it’s even mentioned in the headline of this post, a very poor memory indeed.
If you are going to pretend the many people on Lemmy who very vociferously told people to not vote for Harris did not exist, please do not let me be the one to disabuse you of that. You go ahead and enjoy the rich fantasy where that never happened.
We are not talking about the voters or the candidates here. We are talking about the people telling voters not to vote for someone and then pretending they had no culpability whatsoever when that person loses. Thank you for proving my point.
If they’re telling people not to vote for someone because they’re doing something they can by all accounts stop doing, then it’s still on the candidate.
Yes, I understand both you and Mr. Banana, who went out of his way to constantly tell people not to vote for Harris every single day on Lemmy up through the first day in November, you want to divorce your words from any actual real effect they might have.
You might have me mistaken for someone else. I went out of my way to get people to vote for her but also knew she was doomed if she kept up her current path because I recognized what happened in 2016 and so kept criticizing her for supporting the genocide. I tried to set up a freaking vote exchange thread to swap votes with people in swing states even and got criticized by people here for even trying. I was trying harder than most people here because I recognized the danger and the patterns, instead of burying my head in the sand. I felt like freaking Cassandra lol.
And find themselves without fault?
Maybe Harris and the Democrats should’ve spent less time chasing Republicans and fascists for votes.
I voted for her btw. But is incredible how Dem voters repeatedly allow their leadership to be so weak and outt of touch.

Those people weren’t running for president. They may be culpable but it’s no where near the same level as the actual party leadership.
Dems conveniently blame everyone but their own leadership every time they lose an election and therefore never learn anything from it.

It’s mentioned in the title in reference to some far-flung group not represented here. I’m talking about here on Lemmy.

not the voters’ job to make themselves buyable
that is all on the candidates

It’s very Republican of both of you.

People told others not to vote Harris because she sucked as a candidate
Not the citizens’ fault billionaires rigged the election again
I see you don’t understand cause and effect.
If you tell someone not to do something and then they don’t do it, you’re part of the cause.

Yes let us hold blameless those who didn’t give enough of a shit to piss on America when it was on fire. Your true colors show here.
You already hold Biden and Harris blameless.
