    You can be vocal about it and still vote for the lesser evil in order to reduce harm and save lives.

    This is what almost every legitimate progressive voice I knew did.

    It is what I did.

    It is what every leftist I know did.

    When will libs understand leftists are serious in their coalition building and stop existentially questioning the trustworthiness of our intentions?

    Disagree with me, lets talk policy, let us hash out together the 1000 ways things were able to get this bad… but please fucking STOP categorically calling into question our intentions or ability to make the necessary play none of us are excited about. This is baby stuff, leftist discourse discusses this stuff constantly, terminally online leftists by and large get it trust me.

    we voted for Harris

    we voted for Biden

    we voted for Clinton

    The people who didn’t turn out to vote weren’t highly informed leftists and more importantly weren’t the kind of people who give a shit about hearing what terminally upset leftists had to say. If you think Sam Seder, Emma Vigeland, Krystal Ball and Kyle Kulinsky, The Rational National, Benjamin Dixon etc… had an impact on unengaged low information voters you are making an absurd leap of thinking… and they advocated for voting for Harris anyways, go back, check the receipts.

      Most importantly, the ones who didn’t turn out to vote were in states that don’t matter anyway. Harris actually got more votes than Biden in most key swing states.
