Would you like to remind me who 'divided' and failed to show unity against the literal Nazis in the very real scenario we're discussing and has already happened?

Yes, it was the Democratic leadership, who tried to pull in voters from the party of the Nazis. All while telling the anti-Nazi voters to sit down and shut up. The Dems proudly ran around the stage with Republicans, and moved their policies to the right.

They thought enough of the left still understood how elections worked. I agree it was a dumb strategy to try going after the supposed "moderate Republicans" who aren't fully in the cult, but the Dems having shit leaders and dumb strategies was not a good reason to help elect Trump.

Who is advocating for helping to elect Trump? I certainly wasn't. I want that PoS out more than I want the Dems out.

I was referring to all of the people who are supposed allies and leftists but advocated not voting for Harris when the only possible outcome of not voting for Harris was to empower Trump. I doubt they contributed significantly to Trump winning but regardless, they did exactly what Trump wanted them to do. If you're one of them, I hope you figure things out and do the right thing if we get a next time.
