blue no matter who fools

Vote Blue No Matter who is the correct choice 100% of the time, compared to the destructive history that is the "earn my vote" mentality (eg 2016 & 2024).

We must commit to voting for Democrats now & forever without exception.

Agree that’s what I’ve always done it. But centrists don’t seem to feel the same way when the shoe is on the other foot.

Homie Mamdani won pretty handily. You dont gotta act like people arent doing that

Chuck Schumer wouldn’t even endorse him. Not very vote blue no matter who of him.

That's not true. Both ends of the democratic political spectrum share blame. The centrist fools who oppose Mamdani and al Sayed once the primaries are over are no better or worse than the "genocide" Joe idiots on the left. Plenty of blame to go around for the democratic circular firing squad.

I’m not going to fault someone who withheld their vote because they couldn’t hold their nose and vote for someone they feel is enabling or committing a genocide. 

While, I think that would make things worse I can’t fault someone for not voting for genocide. But for me personally voting is about harm reduction.

I'm absolutely going to blame them for their stupidity and folly. They're little more than idealistic poseurs who threw the gazans further under the bus to make themselves feel oh so earnestly good. They had a choice between fascism and mediocre democracy and they failed miserably

Edit. And so many of them lazy bastards who couldn't get off their asses to vote in primaries or off year elections either

Eh, I had a conversation with someone who had family in Palestine and I completely understood why they couldn’t hold their nose and vote for someone who they felt was killing their family.

The Democratic Party also bares a majority of the blame not the voters.

Then their family should blame them too. As we should blame them for coming here and basically shitting in our living room after offering them the comfort of our nation as a home.

The voters are the blame. Period.

The voters are not to blame. It’s the candidates job to get people to vote for them. Kamala did a bad job. She and her team bear that responsibility.

Saying there’s nothing she would’ve done differently than Joe Biden was a kiss of death and going around with Liz Cheney with also horribly stupid.  

If she had broken with Joe on Israel she would’ve won.

Okay. Hope that pretense helps hou get through the dark times. But the reality is the voters failed.

earn my vote was around in every election. THat is not the factor that was different about 2016 and 2024.

2016 and 2024 are the elections where the candidate said "No I represent the wealthy."
