As a leftist, I can tell you there was a fuck of a lot more than one issue that I didn’t agree with Biden or Harris on. I still voted for her, but I can tell you I won’t hold my nose again.
What happened, in general terms, is that Gen Z kept the previous elections from slipping too hard to Republicans, and Harris went viral for calling them dumb. And she was pro-genocide, and she was a cop-loving prosecutor out of California. She basically screamed “DINO.” Then, when the Democratic primaries happened, Biden lied and said he was going to run again, which basically killed any other chance for a popular candidate to emerge to challenge Trump. So when Biden finally changed his mind, we were forced to vote for Harris or Trump.
If you want to blame something, blame the Democratic Party playing games with their internal processes to keep the people from having a candidate they actually wanted. Nobody even wanted Harris as VP. She got it, much like Biden under Obama, because she was a “safe” moderate.
And I can tell you, as a regular voter. I had people at my door for her 12 different times asking me to vote.
We shouldn’t have even allowed Biden to say he was going to run a second term, but the entire establishment went along with it as political theater to put her on the ballot.
Why did Trump win? Because American elections are fucked and never favor the popular vote and because enough people were fucking pissed. The Liberal idealists were pissed because dispite popular opinion our leaders ignored them most of the time, and the Conservative minded were pissed because they had 4 years of “Fuck Joe Biden” propaganda.
Your opinion means little to me beyond suggesting that we likely share similar morals. I’m not interested in engaging in infighting with people I probably agree with 70 percent of the time.
I edited my impulsive comment. I’m only pinging you as a courtesy so it doesn’t look like I’m trying to rewrite myself into someone more moderate. Be cool. Do crimes. Aim that anger at someone who actually hates you.
Since the last election, I’ve increased my advocacy for third parties. It would be difficult, but not impossible, to achieve. The current issue I see goes beyond any single candidate: the digital town squares have been compromised.
The things that need to be discussed beyond that need to be done privately with people you trust and translated into real world action. That’s my current opinion. Posted for others to read and consider. My DMs are not open and I’m not looking for a community. Build your network in person first. with people you know.

you’re not a leftist if you voted for Harris.

Well then allow me a chance to rephrase my original comment. You can’t be a leftist while voting for the Establishment Democrat candidate.
Change happens when we organize and come together. We are well beyond gatekeeping. This is enemy of my enemy time
Are you familiar with the following phrase? “The Democrat party is where leftist movements go to die.”
