I never said it was the left lol, everything I said applies regardless of political leanings. Though in all likelihood there were at least some leftists that didn't.
Also the commenters that were saying as much on this extremely left leaning platform are probably the ones mainly adressed by OP.
Oh yeah, for sure. At least some of the voters that didnt vote were lefties. My b if I took what you said the wrong way. But the thing that has been driving me insane the last 6 months is all the liberals who've been blaming the left up and down and blaming the voters while having 0 flame for the Washington establishment that is quite literally the reason why so many people have checked out of politics. Like, yeah, be mad at the people who didn't vote, for sure. If that's irritating you, that's valid. As a leftist who did hold my nose and vote for Harris, I'm a little mad at the people who didn't vote because it hurts minorities like myself and others. But to hyper fixate on the people that didn't vote and brow beat them for not voting isn't going to solve ANYTHING. They've shown us what it takes to get them back to the polls. Now we either gotta speak their language or die. Love it, hate it, doesn't make a difference in the end. And being an ass about it isn't going to make them go 'Oh, wow, you're totally right, lemme go vote next time'. If anything it's going to split the left more (as is evidenced by this entire thread) and cause an irreversible spiral into fascism no matter if we have free and fair elections again or not.
