You're still ignoring the fact that the house is on fire with you trapped in it. You can't go after the builder if you're dead.
People who fail to comprehend the very simple concept of prioritization are responsible for handing Trump the presidency. Plain and simple. Trump would not be causing the damage he promised to cause if they had made a different decision, full stop.
Your dumbass analogy is way off base. The election is over, anew one is closer than the previous.
You still trust unpopular aristocrats in league with the super rich fervently opposed to "the left," they cannot win elections without running the party.
You, and they, slander the subject of how they are the enemy, with whatabouts and victim blaming, and personal attacks without merit to put people on the defensive and change the subject.
You will doom us all, and have helped the republicans more than most everyone, and maga is amplifying you to ensure beatable candidates.
Since we're discussing the 2024 election, you're the only dumb ass here.
Says the tool of moderate democrats lobbing ad hominems to distract from losing the election against the most hated president ever.
Says the person with no concept of nuance or prioritization.
It's alright to admit that you're wrong, you know.
Ah yes, the nuance of nominating unelectable candidates running as the status quo throwing elections to fascists fully intent on fixing elections.
But those fascists help those unelectable candidates get chosen, help shout down calls for winnable candidates and platforms. You are a valuable maga player whether you know it or not, a Generally Important Maga Player, or gimp for short.
Harris wasn't nominated, which is part of the problem, but that's ultimately on Biden.
Harris ran a shit campaign, but she basically got thrown into it at the last minute. Campaigning against trump was expensive, so she shifted her message to try to secure more funding and reach across the aisle to win people away from trump. That ended up being a mistake.
But, as VP she pushed for an official investigation into Israel's actions in Gaza that would have been required to negate the law requiring us to fund them. And if you look at her Senate voting history, she was the closest to Sanders out of everyone.
Often in life you don't get perfect choices, or even good ones. There will never be a political candidate that will check all of your boxes, but when the choice is between getting a cavity and getting curb stomped, only an idiot would bite the curb.
Letting Trump win isn't punishing the Democrat leadership, it's punishing the entire country and then some. The right move would have been to elect Harris, then spend the next 4 years working on primarying the neoliberals. The MAGA movement would have lost a ton of steam if he had lost, which would have given some breathing room to do that.
But now everyone's efforts are going towards fighting back against Trump's promised fascist takeover of the country, a genocide on our own home soil, a looming great depression, and the start of WWIII.
Progress is slow, and choosing the 2024 election to make a stand was really fucking stupid timing, as evidenced by the current state of affairs.
2024 wasn't the first election. People have tried your idea for decades at least. People were begging for change so much, Americans elected a black guy with a Muslim name, and don't have shit to show for it but more wars, more families kicked out of their homes, more suicides, and more bankers running the government. Occupy Wall Street accomplished nothing. The Iraq war protests accomplished nothing. March for our Lives accomplished nothing. BLM riots accompanied nothing. WV voted for Bernie in the 2016 primary and won him every single county, but Clinton won the state. Harris had to drop out of the 2020 election before a single vote was cast, and she was APPOINTED as the Democratic nominee in 2024, so voting accomplished nothing. What exactly would you have people do? And yes, electing Trump also won't accomplish ending wars, or releasing the Epstein Files, but how can you blame people for having hope, after being let down for electing a Hope & Change candidate, and getting shit to show for it?
