    Someone needs to explain this to me in very small words.

    Whatever you thought of Harris or Biden, or Harris or any other Dem, there was zero reason to think that they’d cancel the nest election

    You knew that Trump had already staged a coup and was an indicted felon.

    You knew that it was an either/or choice.

    Why wouldn’t you vote for Harris/Biden?

      Yeah, I don’t think the article is saying people shouldn’t have voted for them in the election. It’s saying that now that the monster has arrived, they are fucking up unforgivably in not resisting it all that much or by actively helping. We have Democrats who voted to censure Al Green for yelling at Trump, for example.

      I’ve spoken to people who normally vote Democratic who did not vote for Harris because of what they saw as atrocities at the Gaza Strip.

      They just decided to sit out voting all together, instead of voting for Trump.

            Trump is giving Putin the green light to flatten Ukraine. Somehow the genocide in Ukraine wasn’t as important.

          I guess they are happy now that Trump has promised to completely depopulate Gaza.

          Watch what he does, and not what he says.

          He’s talking about taking over Canada and Greenland as well, and that hasn’t happened either. At this point, I think we can all agree he says a lot more than what he actually does.

          Also, from the no-voting person’s perspectives, they didn’t vote for him either, so they are off the hook. From their perspective, they had no good voting options.

            No. Because Trump’s actions have caused people to die in Ukraine. It’s not a vacuum where there are discrete outcomes. You have to accept responsibility for all your actions.

            They tried to stop one genocide and created two.

      This is an article about the failure of elected democrats. Just because Harris ran that God awful campaign doesn’t mean they don’t still have a job to do. Their duty to their constituents and the American people doesn’t end solely because they don’t control the presidency.

      I voted for Biden and Harris, but seeing the Dems move to throw trans people under the bus has me regretting it.

      There is a silver lining here, though. Now that Trump is destroying the American Empire, we might only be months away from a second american revolution.
