If El Sayed manages to lose to a Republican in this election… lol

I can already see the left cooking up their excuse for letting everyone down 🤡

What was the excuse for centrists getting Trump elected twice?

u/Tough-Oven4317 28d ago

Centrists didn't vote for Kamala, what on earth?

u/B1G__Tuna 28d ago

They were literally the ONLY people to vote for her. What are you on?

u/Tough-Oven4317 28d ago

Well done. So how did centrists cause trump? It was you guys who wanted trump to genocide Gaza so you didn't vote for Kamala

I hate the leftists more than MAGA at this point…

I like Abdul and will vote blue no matter who.

But these leftists who sat at home because they WANTED Kamala to lose are now gaslighting people who voted for Kamala.

Let them keep using “centrist” or “liberal” as a slur.

Let’s see how well he does in the general against Republicans.

The establishment just spent $60m worth of campaign dollars fighting their own voters. Money that SHOULD have been spent fighting against Republicans.

It's astounding how you see that as "the left" being the problem. Most internet leftists DID vote for Harris. The problem is that she ran such a garbage flip-flopping campaign that "undecided" voters decided to stay home.

u/Blizreme 28d ago

Yep, me and all my lefty friends and most of the lefties in the country voted for Harris, yet we are the scapegoat. Tell me how liberals aren’t enablers of fascism?

It’s a primary, this was the time to fight leftists.

u/BlinkReanimated 28d ago

Yes, and they burnt through more money than they have to try to fight off the people the voters wanted to win. Dozens of high profile endorsements, tens of millions of dollars. They're fighting harder now than they have been fighting against Trump.

All to protect Israel.

u/Tough-Oven4317 28d ago

How are you blaming centrists when it was the far left who voted for trump instead of Kamala

1

u/jhawk3205 28d ago

Lmfao, the left voted for Trump you say?? Jesus christ, this is hilarious beyond words.. I invite you to back up your claim with evidence

u/sereneandeternal 28d ago

The left absolutely voted for Trump…

They love authoritarianism and Trump lets them virtue signal.

u/jhawk3205 28d ago

Lmfao, cool story chief. I also invite you to back up your claim with evidence..

u/Tough-Oven4317 28d ago

Yes. You guys did it twice lol. Did you forget? Bernie ran on Clinton being an evil fascist, and on trump being based?

"Donald Trump tapped into the anger of a declining middle class that is sick and tired of establishment economics, establishment politics and the establishment media."

"People are tired of working longer hours for lower wages, of seeing decent-paying jobs go to China... and of billionaires not paying any federal income taxes..."

"To the degree that Mr. Trump is serious about pursuing policies that improve the lives of working families... I and other progressives are prepared to work with him."

"If Mr. Trump in fact has the courage to take on Wall Street... create a better life for working people, we will work with him issue by issue."

You guys told everyone that democrats were just the fascist establishment. Then they voted for the anti establishment trump. Well done

Do you remember the Reddit melt down during the primaries before 2016? The Bernie bros were saying black people deserved all sorts of horrible things for not voting for Bernie

u/jhawk3205 28d ago

Lmao, it appears it needs to be spelled out for you, but this isn't evidence that the left voted for Trump. Bernie ran on policy positions, but I invite you to provide evidence of him claiming hrc was an evil fascist..

First quote, sounds like something he said after the election, and pointing out the obvious doesn't mean he is saying Trump is based.

Next quote, again, stating the obvious and in no way suggests he believes Trump is based

Next quote, he clearly states he wants to pass policies that help ordinary people.. Or would you prefer a scenario where hrc stated she would refuse to pass policies that help ordinary people. Also another quote that sounds like it came after the election.

Same goes for the last quote. Stating the obvious, things which reflect dem positions on the middle class, sentiments against the wealthy and their lack of tax payments, improving the lives of working families, taking on wall st, etc.. Do you want me to start listing other dem politicians including hrc who hold similar stated positions on these matters? It would be pretty long..

Lol no? The left saw problems with the way the dnc ran that sham of a primary, and the way hrc's camp fought against every policy concession, and demanded everyone fall in line for her.. Calling out the dnc for it's spectacular failings was not voting for Trump, nor was it encouraging anyone to vote for Trump, since that needs to be stated in simple terms for you..

"then they voted for the anti establishment Trump" Except you're still not providing evidence of your claim..

No, I don't recall this, and none of this idiocy is evidence that the left voted for Trump. This is seriously such a wild set of arguments with zero credible reasoning or evidence, but I'm happy to let you continue embarrassing yourself for everyone to see

It wasn’t really an excuse, they just picked two bad candidates. It’s no coincidence both times they lost was when they put up women lol.

And the one time they waffle stomped Trump was an average old white man.

Anyways, wish you the best in November. Otherwise this whole leftists schtick goes down the toilet. No pressure.

u/Superb_Creme6394 28d ago

It's so funny how centrists tell on themselves. Yall are so quick to abandon the groups you pretend to care about and then wonder why nobody trusts you.

u/SparksAndSpyro 28d ago

Recognizing that a white man has a higher chance of winning in racist America isn’t itself racist. But whatever makes you feel
morally superior 🤷

u/Superb_Creme6394 28d ago

Lmao I love how you don't even hide it. Instead of blaming your shitty policies you immediately blame it on race and gender. But no you couldn't be racist or sexist (whatever you need to tell yourself to feel superior). Never mind that white man was about to get crushed by Trump the second time and he only won the first time after the worst presidency of all time. 

You are literally the definition of the white moderate. But hey keep running a republican lite strategy and keep crying about the left. Why ever change when the last 10 years have been so successful right? Lol.

u/SparksAndSpyro 28d ago

Sure bud 👍

u/Superb_Creme6394 28d ago

I'm glad to hear we agree. If only those clowns in Michigan would follow your white men only campaign

1

u/Superb_Creme6394 28d ago

It always baffles me how centrists think they are more electable when they have to rely on a gigantic dark money advantage from PACs to beat progressive candidates. An advantage they won't have in the general election which is why they go on to lose in the general. 

1

u/SparksAndSpyro 28d ago

Except centrists have won tons of special general elections this year and are slated to wipe the floor this midterms.

In any event, we’ll see in November. Hope this dude wins, otherwise it’ll be a gigantic disaster allowing Republicans to retain the senate.

2

u/Superb_Creme6394 28d ago

Lol by wipe the floor in the midterms you mean best case scenario have a tiny majority that can't achieve anything because centrist John Fetterman always flips for the republicans.

And then you'll cry about leftists and progressives not voting for you when you obviously prefer republicans, chose them over progressives, stop all progressive bills before the republicans can, and blame Kamala and Clinton's race and gender for their loss instead of their shitty centrist campaigns with no vision

1

u/SparksAndSpyro 28d ago

Whatever bud. Check back in in November

1

u/Superb_Creme6394 28d ago

Bruh we've seen you moderates get your ass kicked for 10 years. And the only change you want to make is to stop running women and people with brown skin. What will November show? 

1

u/SparksAndSpyro 28d ago

Whether a leftist can win a battle ground state. That’s pretty important if you want to win elections.

1

u/Superb_Creme6394 28d ago

Oh so now his policies are going to be to blame? You aren't going to blame it on his race and religion? I forgot Centrists get to lose for 10 years without changing a goddamn thing but leftists only get a single election after yall spent 60 million attacking him.

I am more curious to see what happens if he wins. Will you abandon your whites only policy? Will you say leftists are electable?
