"To cut off your own nose to spite the face" is the only thing that comes to mind here.
While her statement is over reaching, she does have a valid point. It will be easier to raise a resistance against trump than harris. This of course benefits her the most if that resistance can vote for her and her party. But it is still a valid point among the spin.
It will not be easier. I voted Harris. I was a Bernie supporter. My motivation to fight has never been lower. It is in the core of the earth.
My hatred of people responsible for Trump's victory is extremely intense. The idea of unifying with any of them, including the leftist abstainers, is absurd.
Sure, I hate the Trump voters far more, but the abstainers are also my enemy.

If it comes to down them or literal fascists, I'll do what they didn't have the moral backbone to do, and side with people I think are completely spineless, amoral, genocidal cunts to avert a worse situation.
In every other case, they can go fuck themselves.

Exactly this. People don't understand that if you're at the point where your only option is protesting in the street then you've already lost. I'm sure the Palestinians really do appreciate us standing around with a sign for a couple of hours.
Maybe glue your hands to the pavement and stop traffic, that'll really help them.
I don't think Jason Call goes by "she". Or are you referring to some statement by Jill Stein?

He has yet to stop the genocide for that to hold a colander' worth of water.
In fact, he wants to take over Gaza and kick ALL the Palestinians out. And people STILL make the argument that a vote NOT for Kamala was somehow opposing genocide. It was never on referendum, for any of the candidates.
Hey, look, it's [90% of the people I argued with on Lemmy before election day]!
And it's now 90% quieter. Hmmm.
I think it's also the unwillingness of the left to accept "baby steps" towards a goal. The right is perfectly happy to inch towards their endgame and it's working.
Agreed. I didn't hear much if any grumbling from the US conservative base in the decades before Roe was overturned toward their politicians, provided that politician opposed abortion. It was enough they believed the "correct" thing and did what they could within the restrictions of the law, until process aligned in their favor via convenient Supreme Court vacancies.

It's not just the left but the educated. This has been apparent since I did a karaoke night with a bunch of scientists and was booed and shutdown because I "sang a song outside of my range" because I thought we were having fun.
People seem to believe in perfection and that it's the only way to do things which leads to them missing stuff and being jerks to those they don't realize are growing to resent them.
