People didn't vote because they felt like Harris was not worth voting for. She lost because she didn't actually offer anyone what they wanted, she was just a harm reduction candidate at best. That isn't sufficiently motivating to get people out to vote, no matter how much we rant and yell and shame people. Please, I am begging you, accept this reality. I want Trump and the Republicans gone probably even more than you do. I am trying to help you understand that we lost for a very good reason and we need to learn from it.

Oh yes, why reduce harm when we can not vote and get the option that will just endlessly stab with the wheel of staby knives. People not voting are possibly more stupid than MAGA. At least MAGA morons have SOME sort of care, even if its motivated entirely by hate.

I think she would have did a good job personally. No war in Iran and no brownshirts shooting Americans in the streets.

Funny how not setting your hand on a burning stove won't result in third degree burns isn't a good enough reason to not set your hand on a burning stove. You ever heard the phrase "don't let better be the enemy of perfect"? No shit Harris sucked, but she sucked a whole lot less than Trump and moving incrementally left from Harris would have been a HELL OF A LOT easier than moving left from Trump. I do absolutely blame the idiots who sat around and said "well, Harris doesn't inspire me, so I'll sit here and let the fascist collapse happen. That'll show everyone how morally superior I am!" The people who didn't vote, I think, are worse than Trumo supporters because at least Trump supporters made moves to do what they thought was best while you sat around and twiddled your thumbs and let the world burn around you instead of doing the *bare fucking minimum* available to you to stop it, or at least slow it down to make it easier to change it in the near future

Take a look in the mirror. That's what a fascist enabler looks like.
