You may be right, I can’t say. I didn’t pay much attention to the campaign, because my vote was decided as soon as Trump got the nomination.
My vote was 99% decided before that. I’ve seen one GOP candidate that I was open to the possibility of voting for, but he didn’t win the nomination, and since Obama was our candidate that year, it wouldn’t have mattered if he did.
Ah, yes, the Biden establishment, those guys who gave her the nomination. They totally secretly wanted her to lose. And all those radical leftists who voted for her while holding back vomit, they’re the reason she lost. It’s absolutely not her being a donor-friendly neoliberal ghoul being backseat driven by donor-friendly neoliberal ghouls.
A large number of leftists demonstrably didn’t vote for her, actually. 81,283,501 people voted for Biden and 75,017,613 people voted for Harris. That’s the sole reason we have a second Trump term.
As a result of “First Past the Post” electoral system being what is currently in place, voting for the DNC candidate in the presidential race is the left-most position. They voted for Biden, against the GOP, therefor they are left.
Biden audited the rich, expanded green power, investigated monopolies to deny mergers, and protected gay marriage. Not only was Joe Biden comparatively left but also globally left.
If you don’t consider left to be progressive, opposed to right as in conservative, then what does it mean to you?
Setting aside how “leftist” and “progressive” aren’t synonyms (one has to be at least somewhat anti-capitalist to be a leftist), and how Biden is a far cry from a proper progressive (though he still was the most progressive president America had for a good while), voting for a progressive doesn’t necessarily make one a progressive. What if the 9 million were mostly centrists or neoliberals? You need to address that possibility.
The best thing we can do to prevent a Trump dictatorship here on the Fediverse is call out the people who’ve been conned into doing the Biden Administration’s dirty work of defaming minority candidates.
She was ruthlessly & systematically sabotaged by the Biden establishment, by male-supremacists, AND by white-supremacists.
& the left felt it ought coast on its victorious-feelings, which … handed leverage to their opponents…
She never had a fair chance.

Jon Huntsman?
Don’t recall. Was long ago.

Proof those 9 million are leftists?

You fucking know that that’s not what that word means. Nobody is going to hear “leftist” and think “anybody who voted for Biden.”
Biden audited the rich, expanded green power, investigated monopolies to deny mergers, and protected gay marriage. Not only was Joe Biden comparatively left but also globally left.

Ah, I see, your definition is that Red Fascists are Left and that Blue Fascists are Right.
That tracks for tankies like you, actually. Not recognizing any actual progressivism as a legitimate political ideology.
Marge we need a candidate that can win even if people actually run against them.
No, I’m sure if we just keep asking for fairness the white supremacists will give her a chance this time.
