Everyone who voted for the Green Party were well aware that the intention was a Trump win and a Harris loss. Their people literally said as much.
Was it enough to cause a Harris loss? I don’t know. I don’t have enough information to know how many voters were discouraged. There were absolutely a ton of people on Lemmy talking about how the only “good” vote was a vote against Harris though.
So it is a problem. Just the matter of degree is unknown.
So your conclusion is that people not voting for Harris has absolutely nothing to do with Harris actual position on the issues or her suitability as a candidate? The tiny fraction of people that voted for someone else while somehow not wanting Trump to win is the real problem, not bad democratic candidates? You think that approach is going to accomplish anything apart from continuing to lose elections?
I replied to a specific comment with a specific reply about a specific issue, as the only comment by me in this chain.
You have chosen to apply some unrelated commentary to my response, tried to put words in my mouth, and then behaved like a jackass in your reply to me.
If thats the kind of person you are, then I’ll happily add you to my block list and move on with my day.
What I find fascinating about people like you is that you take the position that extremist inflexible positions on Gaza are why Harris lost the election, but when pressed it always turns out that you view the extremist position as being OPPOSED to genocide.
If you want to blame an insane position on Gaza for Harris losing the election, why don’t you blame the Democratic candidate who decided to firmly take a position on Gaza that mirrored fucking Donald Trump?
I know, you have no intention of taking a substantive position on anything apart from hearing yourself talk. You are an empty vessel. My comment was for everyone else. ;-)

I don’t believe I said any such thing, so I would appreciate you not implying that I did.
Oh sorry, I assumed you were making a substantive reply that merited a response. Feel free to fuck off then.

What I find fascinating is my comment included nothing of the sort.
So my previous statement is confirmed, thats exactly the type of person you are.
Goodbye.
