We are not talking about the voters or the candidates here. We are talking about the people telling voters not to vote for someone and then pretending they had no culpability whatsoever when that person loses. Thank you for proving my point.

If they're telling people not to vote for someone because they're doing something they can by all accounts stop doing, then it's still on the candidate.

Yes, I understand both you and Mr. Banana, who went out of his way to constantly tell people not to vote for Harris every single day on Lemmy up through the first day in November, you want to divorce your words from any actual real effect they might have.

It's very Republican of both of you.

You might have me mistaken for someone else. I went out of my way to get people to vote for her but also knew she was doomed if she kept up her current path because I recognized what happened in 2016 and so kept criticizing her for supporting the genocide. I tried to set up a freaking vote exchange thread to swap votes with people in swing states even and got criticized by people here for even trying. I was trying harder than most people here because I recognized the danger and the patterns, instead of burying my head in the sand. I felt like freaking Cassandra lol.

People told others not to vote Harris because she sucked as a candidate

Not the citizens' fault billionaires rigged the election again

I see you don't understand cause and effect.

If you tell someone not to do something and then they don't do it, you're part of the cause.
