Voting Kamala failed. The Democrats failed to run a campaign that won. That is in the past. What I am saying is that voting Democrat did not work, so I am asking what their plan actually is, if voting Dem wasn't plan A then what is?
Leftists already have a plan that isn't contingent on winning a presidential election. Do liberals?
No, they don’t. Liberals believe that voting democrat every four years and arguing with leftists on the internet is activism.
The Brunch Brigade, I call them.
I wouldn't know. I'm not an American, and not a card-carrying liberal voter on my country.
What I do know is that this constant othering is how these problems were created in the first place. Spending time and energy building straw men on the Internet is creating enemies, not allies. If you are genuinely dedicated to spreading information and awareness, as your earlier post suggests, making assumptions and jumping down people's throats is hurting your cause, not helping it.
We are currently in the process of creating a larger divide in left-minded individuals, and I am unbelievably sick of it. As the right rapidly unifys, we seem to be learning nothing.
"Othering" is not the cause of problems of polarization, but sharpening of contradictions in decaying Capitalism. Wealth disparity is sky-high and only rapidly climbing. I don't see how I am "jumping down people's throats," I am very clearly saying that since voting Harris didn't work, there must be another plan, and I'm asking what that plan is.
