And that attitude is what got us Trump 2.0 lol

No, I know Blue MAGA struggles with facts, but this is very basic, elementary-school level math: Trump would've won even if Holocaust Harris got every single third party vote. Your party's refusal to accommodate left-wing populism as represented by Bernie Sanders got us Trump 2.0 because the DNC instead ran an unwinnable candidate who sounded like a drunk aunt at all times and got predictably steamrolled by right-wing populism, the only form of populism permitted by the oligarchs who own both parties.

I'm not arguing that Harris was a great candidate, but that inducing voter apathy is a republican strategy. Republican voters are pretty consistent which is why higher turnout = democrat victory more likely.

Not sure why you're calling it my party, I voted for social democrats in the last local election. I'm not American.

The "both parties are the same" line is a tried and true republican strategy to win elections.

That's why I always say the American left should focus on real change between presidential elections, but shut the fuck up when the candidate has been announced. The right gets it. Did you hear a single conservative voice criticise Trump after he was nominated? I didn't. Even though before he was nominated the first time, many did.

Maybe the Democrats should stop proving that they're right then.

If you think Democrats are "left", you should probably learn a lot more about American politics before speaking on it.

The DNC is where leftist / progressive movements go to die. Leftists don't want unity with Democrats. Democrats are capitalist, Zionist dogs whose vision of the world is fundamentally contradictory to socialism, communism, anarchy, or whatever your preferred flavor of revolutionary thought is.
