    No, the real contest was between diplomacy and brutality.

    People think Biden-harris were doing nothing. Just wait until they watch Trump-vance not only do nothing, but dramatically increase the genocide.

    They didn’t make a point to the DNC. They helped kill hundreds of thousands by waving the GOP in.

      They didn’t act collectively.

      They are a vast sea of individuals.

      The DNCs job is supposed to be to appeal to them.

      The DNC actively and publicly shamed them for expecting the DNC to go against any donor, ever.

      The DNC ushered fascism in. They weren’t willing to throw the ring. They wanted the power.

        They literally acted as a group, the so called “uncommited” movement. They were a huge reason Harris lost Michigan.

        This was focused, concentrated action to make a point, and they did. They didn’t like the complexity of diplomacy, and so instead chose unmitigated genocide and mass deportation of their fellow americans back to Palenstine to die. Well, they got it.

          So you’re claiming that all the people who didn’t vote were corresponding and planning their non votes?

          Or intentionally misunderstanding the incredibly simple concept I’ve explained?

      The candidates may represent something closer to diplomacy vs brutality, but the problem with the election this year appears to be a major lack of engagement by Democratic voters. So when you’re asking the question of what causes people who previously voted to not vote, apathy is pretty high on the list of possible explanations.

      I am Canadian, I will sigh and vote for the leftist party that slightly reduces the flow rate of bullshit, because lesser evil blah blah. But it’s extremely easy to understand why that apathy permeates, and when parties allow that to fester by choosing not to address issues their voters clearly care deeply about, they are also to blame.
