More than 700 Marines based out of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in California have been mobilized to respond to the protests in Los Angeles, and the troops will join the thousands of National Guard members who were activated by President Donald Trump over the weekend without the consent of California’s governor or LA’s mayor.
The numbers don’t support that story. The people who didn’t vote were moderates who didn’t feel a need to since they didn’t see the status quo changing significantly either way.
My assertation is that it wasn’t the progressives that failed to vote for Harris because of some failed purity test. It was moderates who were too I’ll informed to realize trumplethinskin was going to change the status quo, so they didn’t vote out of apathy.
You’re suggesting there’s proof that Harris was too moderate to distinguish herself from trump in many voters’ eyes.
And I’m saying so-called progressives - with many representatives holding forth here at the time and still to this day - were saying they absolutely refuse to vote for Harris because she wasn’t progressive enough.
I’m just not buying the former argument. I know moderates and none of them were confused by how bad trump was. trumps campaign was every bit as chaotic and bonkers as his administration proved to be. It just doesn’t wash that people were fooled into thinking a SECOND trump administration would be the same as a Democratic one.
Well I’m glad you know who to blame with your anecdata. That’s the important part having decided it’s the others fault and going all I’m on blaming them, rather than looking at the actual numbers and trying to come up with a solution. The numbers do say differently though, but by all means continue to go through your life basing your ideas on anecdotes you’ve gleaned from online and personal interactions.

Then they’re fucking idiots.
Shitlibs gonna shitlib. This is nothing new.
I don’t really understand. Your statement seems to be the same as the one you’re responding to.
The status quo has changed dramatically, because a bunch of voters were too apathetic to vote for Harris.
