What’s the percentage? Since we’re guessing, I’d guess most of us did in fact hold our nose and vote for Harris, despite all of our misgivings that she’s just another corporate Democrat with no principles, incoherent strategy, and incompetent messaging.
I would not be! They probably also protest voted Biden and Clinton and Obama and somehow act like Schumer and Jeffries are the reason why democrats are toothless. And not because these “liberals” are ripping their teeth out.
I just mentioned some positive facts about Obama on lemmy.ml memes and I got called a Nazi and banned. We got flavors of liberals who hate each other when we need to be working together. It was really strange being called a liberal Nazi.
If we get hung up on every small thing we are never gonna be happy at some point you have to recognize that people have different points of view we can’t be alienating people who are on the same team…
I think democrats have a disadvantage over republicans because republicans will rally around their people no matter what. All a republican has to do is say Trump good, radical left bad and they win their party
For better and worse democrats won’t do this. So the democratic politicians have to walk these tight ropes to appeal to people that are so quick to hate them. The net effect of this is democratic politicians losing votes and republicans holding strong.
I think democrats should continue to expect more from their leaders, but in some cases we need to recognize a win and let it be. Why do we need to make this issue about why democrats suck when it is clearly a Trump/Republicans issue?
You’d be surprised how many users here were a part of the protest vote against Harris.

driving wedges into cracks is 100% The Goal of many commenters I’ve seen in the political forms here

that was the most gobsmackingly stupid strategy conceivable. How did it turn out?
