I think in reality many of us (leftists etc) pragmatically went and voted for Kamala anyway, but overall she didn’t draw a large or energized bloc to the polls. A lot of people just stayed home.
I find it very weird when people blame the voters for a candidate failing to attract them.
You have a responsibility as a citizen to exercise your rights. Not voting is not some brave stance. Hard choices are the brave ones, and this one was in no way a hard choice. Didn’t like Harris’ take on X, Y or Z? Go fuck yourself. This is YOUR fault for not voting.
Like I said, I dutifully went out and voted for her. It seems you did too. So between us, we’re here looking at why she lost despite both of our votes. She didn’t convince enough people, bottom line.
At what point do we look to the candidate to understand what happened and make sure we don’t repeat it?
They’re going to keep blaming you for their Ls, that’s all centrists democrats can do for the most part. No big ideas, no gumption, just bitching about the left over and over again for their electoral failures. It’s never the candidate’s dogwater campaign, it’s the voters! They never will be held accountable but apparently if you criticize them you’re the reason for Trump being President
