Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this?
And I'm being serious. I feel like there might be an argument there, I just don't understand it. Can someone please "steelman" that argument for me?

It's not Gaza. It's that the Dems are a party of the riches. They don't represent the poorer anymore. When you have this political shift, you open the doors of the far right.
And trump represents the poor better???
Third parties represent the poor better
In no way does trump represent the poor. He hates the poor.
Why the fuck do you ask anything if you're gonna fire out the canned phrase regardless of the answer
I'm not surprised you misinterpreted my comment, I'm surprised people upvoted your misinterpretation. I never said Trump was third party
Where did I pretend this? Both are for the riches, but, the far right uses populism as a trap.
The thing is that they need a new narrative and stop being neolibs if they want to win. Playing the game of the enemy doesn't, people will choose the original.
I guess so, they voted for him.
This is framing only billionaires can buy. The problem is less this is the reality and more that the billionaires who own like 90% of the media can make people believe (including democrats like harris, because her immigration policy was not a product of donors) that there is something to this.
Democrats had some solid policies like paid family leave on the table and I just don't think the messaging made its way to the people that needed to hear it.
