In part, yes, but it's a more complicated issue though. It's a death by thousand cuts.

There's also the whole doubling-down on the Israel-Palestine conflict, Twitter propping up the far-right everywhere it can, etc.

I find this whole Israel-Palestine vote-boycott so stupid and irritating.

Did anyone ever think beyond virtue-signaling? What were they hoping, that Trump forgets he wants to stand behind Nettanyahu no matter what?

In order to "boycott" a "fascist President", they let their own country elect another one. Great, now there are two of them.

Seriously, they want to "stop fascism at all costs", but when they actually have the chance to stop a fascist from taking office, they refuse.

I have lost all hope for humanity, have a nice day.

They can be satisfied they did less than nothing when Gaza is turned into a parking lot for the newest Israeli Megamall.

Then again, since it apparently didn't matter either way, I guess there was no hope for the Palestinians. Maybe they'll all be reincarnated as white people next time around as a universal consolation prize or something lol

Imagine if the election had been between Cheney and Trump... Would you have bothered to show up? I wouldn't have. I'm not saying Kamala is actually as bad as Cheney (who I consider to be the most evil human on earth) but for young people barely paying attention, or paying a lot of attention to the whole getting arrested for protesting genocide thing, they might not have seen much difference and felt turned off by the whole thing, so didn't show up.

The question is, why would 10 million Biden voters, not show up this time? And I think the answer is, no one gave them a good enough reason to... And that's on the Dems who should have been figuring out what those people want and promising to fight for it instead of figuring out what maga wants and fighting for that

The harris campaign decided to be pro-war and buddy up with incredibly unpopular warmonger dick cheney.

She put no significant distance between her foreign policy and trump's. If you really think lemmy lefties are the reason harris lost then you probably haven't been outside in a long time
