Why are you so concerned with "protest voters"? If every third party vote went to Democrats, Harris still would have lost.
It's way easier to blame a small amorphous group of people, but why don't you focus on winning? Harris got 6 million fewer votes than Biden. Do you think all those people stayed home because of Palestine?
Take this energy and put it towards something useful. Ignoring all the facts so you can punch left is pathetic.
Lol. This argument is so stupid.
Those fools voted not knowing if they would make the difference or not. And in other elections, it has.
They don't get a pass because their idiocy ended up not being the deciding factor.
Why aren't you? Tlwe just got several chunks of BAD news for palestine.
You really couldn't pretend to care any less, huh?
It's more about the people who didn't vote at all.
Those aren't "protest voters", are they?
Again, Harris got 6 *million" fewer votes than Biden and lost by 2 million votes. If you really believe that's because of Palestine, then you should be asking Harris why she didn't support Palestine.
But no reasonable person could think that Harris lost because of Palestine. So why is this such a big focus for liberals, instead of something that matters?
If winning in 2026 and 2028 doesn't involve punching left, are you even interested?
Let me amend to say, I guess it depends on what your goal is. If your goal is to feel better about yourself & your political participation, then carry on. But if you want to get a Democrat elected, you need to stop acting like this.
They are if they choose not to vote in protest
Isn't that just non-voters? Not voting is viewed by literally everyone as "don't care", not a protest.
There were absolutely protest non-voters.
Foreign policy simply doesn't decide elections in the US. I'm sure there were some protests non-voters, but the idea that it was a significant majority of the 6 million is far fetched.
Doesn't matter. Even if they weren't the deciding factor, they still contributed and were still idiots that deserve to be shamed.
Good luck with that buddy.
It's more about a trash system with trash candidates where most people's votes don't matter at all.
So deep rofl
How's 3rd grade?
