Blue MAGA is a lie created by tankies because they want Trump to win so Russia can better genocide Ukraine.
Harris' conservative culture play
I don't give a single shit about Harris trying to appeal to the right wing. Good. She should be trying to appeal to the right wing because abstentionism on the left is evidently rampant. And I think that, because compromising is far better than allowing Trump to win.
You are actively creating the conditions for her to pursue this strategy, and criticizing her for pursuing it. Fuck you and everyone like you.
Want to change it? Set an outline of manageable policy points that you'd like to see her compromise on if she wants you to vote for her, and then make that popular. Abstentionism doesn't work, idiot.
The liberal two button problem
Harris is only electable if she parrots fascist talking points.
Harris is only electable if her progressive opponents are purged from the ticket
Damn. Sounding more and more like Trump's attitude towards libertarians.
Check the bits about continued hard-line immigration and wars in the middle east
Your entire position makes me feel like I'm reading an article about how "Antifa is Fascism, actually". It's the most incredibly naive lunacy I've read all month.
