I voted in 2024 for everything but POTUS because I don't support genocide.
Same here, I left it blank in the general and filled out the rest of the ballot. I also dont support genocides regardless of the consequences. Theres actually lots of us, you aren't alone. The party ignores us at their own peril and I'm not about to change because they want me to. And any centrists who dont like it can kiss my arse. Cheers to you, man.
Ya choose better or you get worse.
Evolution takes a few iterations, but you have to put in the one day of work every 4 years without getting bored of it.
Silly you, your vote in California somehow also made Harris lose every other state. Don't ask them how the math or logic works, just vote blue no matter who and don't ask questions.
So you're easily manipulated. Good job.
Thats a person who stood up for their principles while you abandoned yours. You're the manipulated one here. And we both lost so I dont see that it matters much who you feel like you need to blame. I respect my dog's barking more than I respect anything you say, and my dog is an idiot. Just be aware that the same voting outcome will happen again if t needs to. And 20% of the voters are progressive. So maybe dont try to run a campaign on genocide support from the 'lefty' party again and things will turn out better. Or, you can choose to continue to lose. Centrists are in charge of the party machine, right-- so you go ahead and choose while I sit over here sipping my coffee and talking to Dems who arent sellouts and war criminals.
Oh shut up. Soapboxing your pro trump stance is so 2021
Calling anyone who didnt vote for Harris or support her platform a trump supporter is such a classic centrist move. Besides being utter devoid of any ethics around your own stance on genocide, you're also brazenly dishonest about everyone else as well. You'd fit right in on the far right yourself.
Thats why people call you blue maga.
Says the people that fall in line and do what you are told every election, no balls to do whats right. If you voted democrat you voted for our current situation
Thousands of dead children and families is manipulation? Wow.
Idc how you spin it. Your were manipulated
Anyone supporting a party thats lost 2 elections to a carnival barker when they had every possible advantage in their favor needs to shut the fuck up and sit down. They are in no position to lecture anyone about their choices.
Yeah, because there wasn't a coordinated effort to trash and promote trump online. Yeah, riiiiiight. Like elon musk, didn't interfer and buy a social media company to shit out propaganda and manipulate people. Yaaaaa. Riiiiiight.
Musk didn't force Biden's hand to fund and provide weapons for a genocide, no amount of social media influence would have changed the fact that Democrats chose to bury their head in the sand regarding Biden's mental decline, dismissing it as a stutter. There was no amount of influence that forced the DNC to coalesce around Biden and manufacture your vote for Biden in the 2020 election. Your choice to support a mentally deficient right-wing warhawk was manufactured for you. It's you that was manipulated
So you said meh, trump is fine. Lol yeah right.
That's how democracy and voting works. You can vote or not vote. A vote is earned not given away freely.
I don't believe you anyways.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ not sure what there's to believe
Good job, you saved them!
You're right, thank you for standing by and doing nothing. You really helped avoid the worst possible situation!
Idiot
If genocide isnt their red line they are no different than the MAGA they claim to hate. BlueMAGA's true hatred of republicans is they see them as a projection of themselves
That part.
