i can’t even guess as to why they went quiet. not one guess at all. we will never know.

On this platform, we have also had genuine people struggle with supporting a system and party that directly cause harm, even if it would cause less harm then the alternative. And many of them went from struggling with finding the right choice, to full on radicalization towards abstaining because of the smug posting of people on this platform who acted as if it was stupid or evil for them to struggle with their moral compass.
I get that everyone feels very strongly about their positions in this, and that these feelings are directly tied to our personal beliefs.
But the reality is, those who abstained and those who voted Blue share many fundamental beliefs. And we can either let this election be the hill we all collectively die on, or we can let bygones be bygones and stand united to help those we still can.
And here is the kicker, it may feel good to say those who came to a different conclusion than you should “feel bad”, but if you do, you will be guilty of the same sin you so strongly accuse them of.
Two weeks is pretty fast to go “let bygones be bygones” for people making such an obviously bad choice. We’re dealing with extremely dense people here who had months to figure this out and still made the obviously wrong choice. It’s gonna take some repetition for it to register.
I say we keep talking about it at least until after there is another democratic election in the US, or talking about it becomes illegal in open forums in the US.
Just in time to divide us again and let the situation get worse. Planning on making the same bad choice you are accusing others of huh?
Yeah, let’s blame the people actually supporting Harris for her loss. That’s a great idea. Let’s all just keep falling for russian psyops or stay quiet to not “divide” us again
Great plan
Let’s blame the people who forced her on us after voters totally rejected her in the 2020 primary. Some of us pushed for Biden to drop out far sooner and got shouted down. Some of us called for an open convention after he dropped out and got shouted down. Some of sounded the alarm about the Harris campaign running a Republican light strategy and got shouted down. How much failure does it take for establishment fools to shut the fuck up?
No, that’s also a pretty terrible plan. Though since I never suggested we do that, nor did I blame those who supported Harris, I have to wonder who you are talking to?
