So you're just gonna sit there and act like propaganda influence on voters is not a thing
"Oh why could harris not beat fascists why did trump win i guess she just suuucked" is the awareness level of a potato
You chose to speak to me, someone who is talking about the word tankie and it's application here. If you'd like to talk about "propaganda influence" outside of the word tankie, I invite you to make your own top-level comment.
If you're implying tankies themselves have amazing propaganda brainwash powers that caused Harris to lose the election, I invite you to touch grass.
Are you of the opinion that the propaganda last election made Trump's victory inevitable? As in, there were no possible candidate or campaign that could have beaten him?
That's a question that sets up its own answer as a foregone conclusion. Rephrase please.
I'm just interrogating your statement. Yes, oppositional propaganda is a known phenomenon. It isn't new. If you are campaigning for election, your job is to overcome it somehow and win. Harris wasn't lacking funds and she had the (arguable) advantage of running from an incumbent administration, as well as the advantage of running against a clown like Trump.
There were loud and numerous warnings to and criticisms of her campaign from the left. She ignored that. I can't prove that's definitely what cost her the election, but there is no question that she could have run a very different campaign. Blaming her loss on propaganda is weak and defeatist. Find ways to win, not excuses to lose.
