I would like to mitigate your opinion with the fact that throughout history, it was people with "leftists" ideas that allowed for a fairer society and most social rights, nowadays they are the one doing most for international justice and climate change, making them all accelerationists when a lot of them literally put their lives in jeopardy to make the world a better place for people they don’t know all while many democrats and liberals laughed about them because "tomato sauce on a plastic case in a museum is silly they should be put in prison for 5 years poor painting" or "some leftist didnt voted for kamala and now many palestinians get annihilated, love to see the pain on their face".
I guess lots of things must change…
Also how do you know most leftists didn’t voted for Harris? From all I know the loud anti Kamala crowds has been amplified by foreign actors like in 2016 to make it look like it was a majority and divide the democrats further as well as reinforced gerrymandering policies. Let’s remind ourselves that Biden had 4 years to put trump and his corrupted goons in prison yet did nothing, the left has never ever been in power throughout the existence of the US putting the blame on them for trump is silly as they are the last barrier of protection before full blown fascism.
I was explicit about not blaming leftists for Trump. I can't say that leftists are the reason Trump won office. Trump likely could still have won without any leftists. BUT. There was/is a leftist/MAGA alliance, let me demonstrate.
First:
Genocide Joe
Killer Kamala
Donald Trump
Next:
Start a conversation with a leftist about Genocide Joe and Palestine, good chance they never bring up Trump.
Start a conversation with leftist about Trump and Palestine, it's impossible to avoid the conversation becoming entirely about Genocide Joe and the Democrats.
Unconsciously, leftists have given Trump and MAGA a free pass on genocide. No nicknames, no blame.
No, more like, "is it now bad enough that MAGA loses its free pass on genocide now? Nope some leftist came to explain to everyone why it's actually all Genocide Joe's fault still".
centrists and maga are aligned in their support for genocide. maga just has other policies in addition to genocide support.
Unfortunately yes, but point being that maga gets a free pass on genocide.
Even now the backlash against maga is mostly over Elon Musk taking a chainsaw to federal jobs and funding for social programs.
Yes, your constituency has standards and theirs doesn't.
