This election loss should have resulted in Dem infighting imo, instead of blaming the group that Harris told to fuck off.
I just checked and Stein ended up with 744,757 and de la Cruz got 138,095. West's totals are negligible. But those are the leftist votes that probably matter.
The Dems lost by 3,005,137 votes. Harris got 72,953,282 and Trump got 75,958,419 votes.
In 2020, Biden won with 81,284,666 votes compared to Trump's 74,224,319.
Biden won by 7,060,347 and Harris lost by 3,005,137. The leftist vote total is 782,852 and some change. There is no concevable way I can see that magic 6 digit number being the catalyst to Harris' failure when Biden got 8,331,384 more votes. Those are the Dem votes. Not the Left waffling this time around.(Ok, subtract one vote because I did vote for Biden in 2020).
I'm not a numbers guy but this really just points at Dems not turning out to vote because Harris just isn't likeable. Dems didn't get a say in their candidate because Biden waited 2 months until election to step down and the DNC had to scramble to make Kamala look "hireable" even though she was one of the first to bow out during 2020 primaries. In that 2 months time, Harris managed to alienate the Muslim vote because she's a terrorist, and when asked about whether trans people should exist, she said "it should be up to the states to decide" which is fucking exactly how we got to where we are with reproductive rights. Her saying that is a right-wing talking point. All she had to do was lie about it and she'd have appeared slightly more likable. But instead she supports genocide and wants to sweep my trans friends' right to exist under the rug. Fuck her. She deserved to lose.
And why the fuck did RFK jr still manage to get 718,693 votes when he bowed out 3 months ago?
Sources:
The left can't even put aside their own differences half the time, how is anyone going to expect them to orchestrate a presidential sabotage?
Again, not a numbers guy so forgive any errors here.
need to re-run this analysis in swing states only for it to be convincing to libs
Death to America
It's been done and stein votes are nowhere close to Kamala. So instead, people have started accusing leftists of voting Trump directly because a few people did vote for both people like AOC and Trump... Generally low information voters with no concrete principles - just vibes about liking "outsiders", regardless of whether a supposed silver-spoon billionaire could ever even remotely consider an outside.
Dems: We need to dump our entire GOTV strategy into swing voters that will vote for either democrats or republicans.
Also Dems: Those swing voters splitting their ticket are pure evil.
"They're pure evil and we need their votes" is a certified Dem classic
