    The point of the comment was that it was contradictory to say that Harris lost because she didn’t move left, while simultaneously denying that certain groups of leftists choosing to let the fascist win are at fault for, well, choosing to let the fascist win.

    Either the aforementioned leftists aren’t enough to matter, and moving left wouldn’t have saved us; or the aforementioned leftists are enough to matter, and thus are directly responsible, by their inaction, for letting fascism win.

      It seems pretty wild to me to assume that there is a trivial number of people that would be motivated to vote based on something like universal healthcare, that isn’t a pseudo religious devotee of performative leftism.

        Like I said, they absolutely could be morons instead.

        If someone’s reaction to “The non-fascist candidate isn’t offering universal healthcare” is “Let the fascist candidate who wants to rollback all public healthcare initiatives win”, they’re either a performative leftist or a moron.
