I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

    The time for voting is over. It’s time for fighting now, and I don’t think “I told you so”s are helping us unite and work together right now.

      Both can happen at the same time. We don’t need to love our ally to fight against a shared enemy. Especially when you feel your ally helped empower them.

        Can they though? I mean to some extent maybe but I think it needs to be carefully articulated and respectful. The typical one line takedowns are just signals of tribal affiliation, they don’t persuade anyone and just increase animosity between us.

      Funny how this always only applies after the election after things have gone South. Any asks to come together during the election where fighting together actually matters is met with derision and “how will we force DNC to change otherwise?”

      I’m done. Dirtbag leftists have shown they are not and never will be real allies. Their naiive ideals and the sound of their own voices are more important to them than the suffering of marginalized communities in the US.

      We’re done with you.

        I voted and did the liberal things. I’m not sure what more you want from me. If you won’t help us fight then that’s your choice but spare me the infighting please I am so over it.
