I don't disagree, but I think that's still the cart before the horse.

People in general need to stop tearing down people who are closest to them if any complex issue is to ever get solved imo. After the US election all you see is blame getting thrown around, and most of it (that I've seen) is blaming people closest in values for not approaching issues in the exact way the blamer wants them to.

Progressives seem like they will always struggle to make anything complex and meaningful happen when they tear each other down, meanwhile bigotry and regressiveness is pretty singular and easy for their opposition to mobilize.

Are you kidding? Is that really an event you think proves your point? Please tell me you will read further on in that event than whoever sold you a partial story and fooled you into thinking that.

If you're saying she didn't give people anything to be excited about, and she focused 'Trump is bad' then you imho did not follow the election, you followed social media and click bait.

Her platform was there, it was a great direction for this country to make us stronger, happier and represent the better aspects of American voters. I was very excited for it.

And personally, I didn't like her much at first, nor would I say she is ideal. But there are 3 choices: Harris, Trump, everything is fine. I was definitely excited to pick Harris with those being the only three options.

Have they stopped teaching politics in school or something?

The issue is you can't teach someone who not only doesn't want to learn, they react in opposition to the idea of understanding anything outside of emotional reactions.

I also hope that those similar to your ideals focus on building you up for your common values, rather than arm chair criticisms while ignoring the deeply problematic other side of the equation.

I wish you all the luck in gathering voters behind your cause

Is anyone really that uninformed though?

People voted for the racist rapist. Ignorant would be a component

It's really fascinating how so many online have all the answers, and it would be so easy, and yet, you're not out there doing it

America voted for Trump, but you're going to blame the people who were working extremely hard to offer a viable alternative?
