helps elect the right

Trump, the farthest right viable candidate, was elected because he got the most votes.

Regardless of your feelings about her, Kamala was the most viable opposition to Trump.

Some people were most active being anti-Kamala.

In your opinion, did the anti-Kamala influencers hurt Trump's election, or did they help Trump's election?

This is bullshit though, please actually explain how Kamala is the most viable opposition to Trump? Trump is far right, and Kamala is a centrist conservative. America is further right than you think it is, Kamala is in no way shape or form an opposition.

Kamala is right wing. Trump is further right wing, guess who is gonna win?

You mentioned opposition, then where is your opposition party? Trump is a by product, you just explained how you get fascism.

"Both parties are the same" is muddying the waters in ways that always benefits the fascists.

They didn't say both parties were the same. In fact they made a point to distinguish the two I think. They just said both were right wing. There's lots of different right wing parties in the world. They're not all the same. Not even remotely the same.

They did not distinguish the parties in any meaningful way. Right and left are just labels, and if you make your entire personality about purity testing most of the world into not being left enough to be in your in-group, you will cultivate no worker solidarity.

Anti- Biden/Kamala influencers helped elect Trump. The biggest of those influencers were the mainstream media. The double standard of reporting (Biden/Harris vs Trump) is very well documented. (And the ring-kissing is approaching authoritarian levels now.) Ideas that actual grassroots would-be Democrat voters sabotaged the the Democrats' success in the election is much less certain, but perhaps a more attractive version of reality than the big-money-funded pro right-wing system we're up against. Less in-fighting amongst the left please

Kamala is right wing. Trump is further right wing. Guess who is gonna win?

She was objectively much better than Trump. Hopefully in the future Americans have the single transferable vote for presidential elections so they can vote for other candidates in other parties.
