    Y’all wanna blame anyone but the Dems for their shitty campaign. Last time I checked adding all the green party votes to the Democrats wouldn’t have changed the outcome.

      Both things are true. Dems ran a campaign they didn’t care to win but thought they were owed and Stein is a terrible leader welding the green party like a dog she’s neglecting because she thinks it makes her look more responsible.

      Messaging matters. There were multiple Republican and Russian backed propaganda campaigns to pin Israel’s genocide on Harris, and urged people to abstain from voting. So it’s more than just the 3rd party votes that are potentially missing from the tally.

        Damn, sucks that Harris could do literally nothing to push back on the allegations that she was complicit in the genocide.

      Why blame the better of two bad options?

      Be honest and blame both bad options.

      (I’m not referring to the greens here, they aren’t a real option)

        Don’t get me wrong I hate trump and the Republicans too. I blame the Dems because they manage to lose to Republicans. Beating them should be ridiculously easily but they always find a way to loose or not have enough votes to do the good things they promise. Every election they move further to the right. If we had an actual left wing party and not controlled opposition we wouldn’t be in this situation.

          For sure, I’m just saying that the actual fascists should always get the majority of the blame, even if it’s pathetic for their rivals to fail to prevent their win.
