I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

    “Left”/“Right” are somewhat squishy labels, but it’s odd to say “there’s no one to the left of me”. I take it you mean that you discount anyone to the left of you as unserious…just like everyone else.

    I just wish that Democrats would accept reality. Muttering about people you mostly agree with, but whose principles lead them to act differently than your principles doesn’t help anyone.

    Neither Gaza nor leftists determined the outcome of the election. “Trump would be worse” is not a winning slogan and Dems won’t win until people realize this.

      I mean, you brought it up.

      Completely left on the authoritarian scale and the social one. Economic axis isn’t about morality but mine is also the best there. (Neo proudhonian / mutualist via non violent agorist counter economic revolution)

      Fuck the dems. If there’s one thing we can agree on they shouldn’t get back in.

      I am a pragmatist. And the best option at the time was not letting that lunatic anywhere near power. Unless you’re an accelerationist but that ain’t the argument most are making.

      It’s impossible to know the impact it had on people on sitting it out. Probably they just stole it anyway but still. Hate to see leftists enabling the fascists.
