Yes I will blame the ultra progressives who annoy me almost as much as maga. Ya’ll just love to “talk” about change but you just cause more chaos for dems. Hope you enjoy living under MAGA because of your fucking pride.

Don't worry, he'll live comfortably with himself because all the bad things MAGA will do in the next 4 years and beyond will be the Dems fault. No self reflection or personal accountability will occur.

It's all talk. These people are just lazy and their heroes are lazy. I pointed out to someone earlier that Jill Stein was not an option on the Indiana ballot even as a write-in because candidates have to be declared as write-ins. And all Jill Stein's campaign had to do to be a write-in on the Indiana ballot was file a two-page form. That's it. They threw a big fit and tried to show that it wasn't true by pointing out a court case where the Greens and Libertarians sued to be on the ballot properly, not just as a write-in.

Just pure laziness. They weren't willing to put in an effort, they just posted endless rude and harassing things online for months and did nothing to help.

Is there any evidence to support the claim that ultra-progressives caused Harris to lose?

*Perceived* leftward shift. The Democrats aren't that left wing in the first place. If democrats are going to be perceived as too left wing regardless of reality, they might as well take on some left-wing policies, so they can at least bribe voters with stuff that obviously and immediately makes things better for them like UBI.

If you're suggesting throw LGBTQ people under the bus, that is just wrong. What would we be fighting for at that point?

You're mad, we get it. Still, if you're not even wondering if Dems did the wrong thing by forcing Harris as the candidate then we're not going to win next time either. We had Progressive Obama win in convincing fashion twice, followed by three neoliberals in a row with only one of them being able to eke out a win. That should paint a pretty clear picture of what we need to do to win going forward and it's not trying the same fucking thing for a fourth time in a row.

I don’t really give two damns about your reasons. You want Trump in office? You got him.

I’m already rich so putting Trump in office only helps people like me. Thanks man, keep it up!
