But the Democrats aren't going to start fighting for what the people want if voters keep voting Blue No Matter Who. We've seen them continuously run to the right, because they don't feel like they have to earn votes.

I get what your saying, and I think there's some truth to it, but I've also seen the Democrats in action, and I can't say that I have any hope that they are going to suddenly change their ways. If they really don't want the 3rd parties to split the vote, then they should try adopting the policies that the 3rd parties are running on.

I'm not familiar with the history of Porgual. Can you explain why that's relevant to this? or possibly link to something that would help explain?

It's working out about as well as we expected it would. The Democrats were loudly told that running a terrible candidate, who supported genocide was a bad idea. They didn't listen, and here we are.

I feel like getting made at the people who couldn't stomach voting for a genocidist is the wrong strategy. Getting mad at the people who ran on a platform of genocide seems like a better strategy.

It's still amazing to me that people blame the voters who couldn't stomach voting for genocide, rather than getting mad at the people in charge who chose genocide over winning

No, they looked at what Harris was selling, and were justifiably disgusted. I voted against Trump, who is a monsterous PoS, but lets not pretend that Harris was a good candidate.

No, what got us Trump 2.0 was the Democrats running a shitty candidate, on the coattails of another shitty candidate, on the coattails of a shitty presidential run. People were clamoring for a new candidate that actualy gave a shit, and the Democrats told them to sit down and shut up.

The Democrats chose money, war-mongers, and genocide over winning a slam-dunk election. It's not the voter's fault that we're here, as they loudly told the Democrats what they wanted. It's the Democrat's fault for ignoring those demands from their base.

Why should people vote for a party that fights against what they want, when they can vote for a third party that is fighting for what they want?

I actually have no idea, it just looks like an AI drawing to me. The fact that the glass is answering makes it a bit sus

I mean... Biden did that, why wouldn't Kamala have done the same? She promised to continue the Biden policies.

And FWIW, I did vote against fascism

I aggressively block those notifications, or remove the app. If they can't respect my boundaries, they aren't worth my time.

Not at all, you should never trust the client as they can spoof. But you can't install malware or harvest data as effectively from the server, so shady companies generally don't try it that way.

And how did sheepdogging everyone back to the Democrats work out? We're here because Bernie pushed people back into the two-party system
