Well during the 2020 elections we the losing group storm the capitol hoping to round up politicians and string them up so i'll take a little soul searching / blaming over that.
I mean yeah, but they got away with it, it only made them more popular, and then they walked away with complete control of the government at all levels when the left gifted them an own goal on principle.
Soul searching is cool and all but I'd rather have... I don't know... a country not entirely run by fascists and sociopaths, steeped in intractable systemic racism and misogyny, fueled by a global campaign of imperialist violence and justifiably hated and mocked by the rest of the world.
But I guess not showing up to the polls because the less evil option wasn't sufficiently anti-genocide, even though it means letting an even more pro-genocide guy win, is at least a moral victory. I guess I can savor that when they stuff me into the crystal.
Things are just so nuts that I don't think it's safe to say that opposing genocide would have benefited Harris. Going all-in on genocide may have benefited the campaign.
