Jesus fucking Christ. You win by getting more people to vote for you! If Harris loses, it will be her own fault.

It's not about Harris losing, it's about Trump winning. You're either pragmatic and know that Harris is the only chance we have to prevent that, or you're privileged as shit and know that you'll survive the rise of Fascism if he wins. You definitely know you won't be one of the millions of people he oppresses if your priority is anything but keeping Trump out of the White House.

If Kamala loses it will be her fault. The fact that we'll all suffer for it is beside the point. You might think it's irrelevant, but establishment Dems lose over and over again by ignoring what the left tells them, then they turn around and blame the left. Continuing to indulge their delusions just leads to more losses.

This really isn't about Trump anymore. The Republican party has been transformed, and every single Republican candidate for the foreseeable future is going to be just as much a threat to democracy as Trump, if not more so.

The Greens hurt Democrats far less than the libertarians hurt Republicans, and neither is going anywhere. Democrats need to focus on being better candidates, not finding someone else to blame.

So Harris should pander better. Otherwise she's clearly not taking the seriousness of a Trump win seriously enough. Pander better.
