UsernameHere will argue that Clinton and Harris lost because they were women, or because the left didn't "vote blue no matter who", not seeing the irony of their claim.
Liberals don't have ideals, they flip flop to whatever opinion is convenient for them. One day women and men are equal, one day women are too weak to win elections. One day the left never won an election because it's irrelevant in numbers, one day the left lost the election by not voting for their zionist candidate.
They have the debate skills of current Charlie Kirk.
Pretend to ask question, don't listen. Spout something or ask a derailing question to make it look like they thought it through and then blame you on character attacks.
Whatever is the "winning" thought is not any form of effective communication I have ever seen. But it sure gets interaction. Their entire life on Lemmy seems to be this.
You’re making up an imaginary argument to argue against? Yeah that sounds like something a leftists would do.
Leftists have no ideals, they flip flop every election cycle when the opposition tricks them into not voting using whatever hot topic is relevant at the time. One day we need to stop Trump. The next day it is ok to not vote and let Trump take over and end elections and persecute immigrants, LGBTQ, women, people of color and build a new resort on Gaza beach.
So I understand that you resent leftists that didn't vote for Harris, because that lost the election?
Q.E.D.
I didn’t bring that up because I resent them. Just to give evidence of how bad their judgement is and to prove how much of a liability it is for democrats to pander to them.
I am citing a great thinker: "Leftist claiming they can win elections is like a fat sports fan criticizing the athlete that actually plays the game and has the ability to win."
So which is it, could leftists have won the election, or are they irrelevant, which is it?
Leftist can’t win nation wide elections until voters want them to. The majority of which are to the right or center of the ideological spectrum.
Leftists claiming they know how to win elections better than democrats are lying to themselves as we can prove using actual nation wide election results.
Leftists that cannot win elections should not be attacking the party giving them a platform, they should be trying to win over voters.
