    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.

      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.

        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.

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

                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.
