With the dust is settling from their defeat on Tuesday, it’s becoming clearer that there was some incredible malpractice going on in the Democratic party. As shown in the tweet I linked, Biden delayed dropping out even though his team knew it was going to be a complete blowout for Trump. Then, we have Harris’s campaign spending over a billion dollars and still losing all of the swing states she needed to win.

For all the Democrats who would never vote Republican and would have never voted third party, are you now considering voting third party in future elections? If not, what would it take?

      He was always going to get away with the pointless charges, no president will ever be allowed near a jail, they know too much.

      To your first point thats not worse than genocide. Genocide is genocide. It’s like infinity, you can’t add to infinity meaningfully.

        I tend to think more genocide is worse than less genocide. Nice to see you don’t care about the rapes. Real ally to women and children.

          No, genocide is genocide. Once you do it, you’re no longer human. Doesn’t matter more or less. As to your second point, read the username. Trump isn’t the first pedo in office, he’s not even the most famous. You’re in the wrong country if you hate pedophiles in power, we haven’t had a year where that’s not the case.

            Cool, but I was talking about stopping this one. Don’t you want to stop them? Sounds like you don’t

              Cool, you weren’t though if you voted for Harris, the candidate that promised to continue and expand genocide multiple times in the campaign trail.

              If you mean pedos, that’s secondary, and won’t be stopped via elections. But there’s yet to be a lemmy instance that allows discussing that solution.

                Well now Palestine gets deleted. And a pedophile is president. You can act all high and mighty, but suffering is the wage you’ve earned for these people

                  Palestine was “getting deleted” either way, and I sincerely don’t care about who heads up a genocidal fascist country as my life does not change.

                  I will still be at risk of death by police, as I am right now. I will still be working with my mutual aid group to help the vulnerable survive, as I am right now. I will still be protesting, rioting, commiting crimes for the betterment of society as I am right now.

                  Harris wouldnt have changed the risk factor, Trump doesn’t.

                  The only people that would benefit from Harris over trump are moderately wealthy insulated citizens of the empire that have never known struggle. Because those of us struggling have been protesting Biden as hard as we protested trump.

                    I disagree with your assertion that there wasn’t a political path forward, through the democrats. That option is now gone. I don’t think there is any bridging that gap between us
