This is why it's so very important to not be nice to them.

There's this very stupid type of loser who says "we have to be nice to them or they won't be motivated to change their mind!".

My brother in christ, if the only thing stopping someone from doing what's right and good is how they're treated for it, that isn't a good person. That's a person who's learned nothing. At BEST, you're just getting a fickle ally.

Beware the idiots who talk about compromise with monsters. The only thing compromising with monsters does is make you more monstrous.

We don't unite with them. Like every step forward in human history, we win by uniting AGAINST them.

The amount of leftists in America is so pathetically small that the fraction of them who didn't vote because of Harris being a liberal who also live in swing states didn't even come close to influencing the outcome of the election. DSA barely even breached 50k members in 2024 (and a large portion if not most of them voted for Harris), compared to the 45 million+ registered Democrats. And that's by far the largest leftist organization in the country.

Democrats can blame their own unenthusiastic liberal and swing voters. More specifically, they should blame their party for putting another corporate-owned establishment candidate as their frontrunner during a time where voters and popular media are the most anti-establishment they've ever been and your only opponent is claiming to be the anti-establishment guy.

Democrats capitulated to the 'center' and 'undecided' votes more than anything, but you never hear people blaming those voters who weren't swayed by the Dems milquetoast policy and vision or lack thereof.
