I don’t like the result either. But I think we should really yet to understand why so many people felt like they didn’t have a choice worth making, or that they were ok with seeing shit flipped over this dramatically.
I think a lot of professional class dems are…out of touch right now

I don’t think it’s wise to ignore dissent or criticism. But you know, maybe I’m wrong! Maybe if *this* is the face we show undecided/swing/non-voters, they’ll rush to our side.
Why make anyone feel like the door is open to them?

Yes, I’m in one of those minority groups! I don’t think anyone needs to be happy about folks that sat out 2024, but making these kind of assumptions about them is not helpful.
Imagine being a Palestinian-origin citizen in Dearborn and hearing this talk! Things are more complicated than this.

Did I call any one here genocide enabling? No. I was just called a “genocide lover” by someone though.
But…I’m not attacking anyone here. Just pointing out that making a bunch of assumptions about non-voters and alienating them will not help us. That is privilege to not care.

We’ve all got privilege. I certainly do. Not economic privilege, and I’ve got some major life challenges I won’t go into here.
But these are just ad hominem attacks. And I’m not attacking any of you. I’m just saying that this won’t help us.

I have to tell you: as a gay guy raised by southern baptists, pain and shame don’t always accomplish what you think they do.

Nope. Never have. I’m literally gay and poor. Why would I vote for a republican?

Now…do you think I said that because it is part of common language, or because I’m secretly using white supremacist language to signal…. What exactly?
And is this going to work for us?

Ok well, MLK, James Baldwin, and many of the architects of the civil rights movement disagreed with you. As a white guy: we are not covered in glory here. I agree.
But we’ve got to try to build solidarity with enough of them to win. And we share a lot in common.

What are you asking me to prove or disprove? I don’t know what you are even arguing with.
Should I prove that you shouldn’t alternate non-voters?

I’ve simply said that I don’t think you’ll win any voters back to the Democrats by shaming them for how they voted or didn’t vote in the past. But if you insist on doing this, knowing it doesn’t work: what besides the desire for self-righteousness is it for?

I think anyone that follows this conversation will see I wasn’t trolling. More like begging all of you to stop trying to tear any chance of a progressive coalition to shreds. If we cannot self-critique, we cannot win. Voter shaming doesn’t work! Gahhhh!

They’re going to listen to me? And the response to asking everyone to not write off non-voters is to tell me to go talk to the GOP? After we lost to Trump TWICE.
I am part of the Dem coalition. And I voted. I’m not your enemy. But you all seem to want “leftist enemies” more than anything right now

Ok, I give up. You’re all correct about everything. Everyone that didn’t vote in 2024 should be executed. Then we can have the ideal democracy.
Let’s start with the notorious American “far left.” Line up comrades!

No. There is no chance that I don’t have a clue of what I’m talking about.
And I live in India. What of it? I’m not an American now?
Brother: this shit is TOXIC. You make assumption after assumption and only seem interested in burning bridges.
This will not save us.

Literally what does my gender have to do with this? You don’t even know me. But here come the assumptions. This will not save any of us. For gay god’s sake. We are making this too easy for actual fascists.
I get your anger. I’m angry too. But non-voters weren’t our enemy.
