"If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. The will reject democracy."

As republicans have become less popular over the years, they have resorted to more gerrymandering, voter suppression and psyop campaigns to win without catering to constituents. Like the one you are contributing to right now.

Your brain is mush if you seriously believe it's perfectly OK for Dems to move right and repugs to also move right...

It is what the voters voted for. You sound like a dictator who demands it your way instead of what the people want.

He didnt just complain without trying to win. Like leftists are popular for doing.

Kamala campaigned to everyone. Trying to reach as many voters as possible because that is a prerequisite for winning elections and a reason leftists don’t win elections.

Russia needed Trump to win for their invasion. It is public knowledge that their strategy is to create infighting in the US so we are more divided and don’t get anything done. This is done by trying to push the right further right and the left further left.

We already know the GOP campaigns with the goal of preventing Dems from winning.

Kamala campaigned on making the wealthy pay their fair share so the billionaire class didn’t want her to win.

These are the obvious sources of “psyops” that are rampant on the internet right now.

This constant blaming the left for Democrats' failure is the true psyop

This doesn’t even make sense.

Another bad faith argument.

You know that “majority” consisted of Sinema and Manchin and in addition to that, most big changes require a super majority.

But you’re just trying to cause infighting.

No one is “allowed” to take power. There is a constant struggle for it. Leftists have been losing that struggle because they don’t get enough votes.

Dems move right because it is a politician’s job to cater to their constituents regardless of their ideology. If there are fewer leftist constituents then the politicians move right.

Obvious bad faith argument. Voters and gerrymandering from the GOP moved the country further right.

The country will move left when leftists start winning elections.

Which is much less likely now that Trump is in office.

The problem is, all that fighting, criticizing and finger pointing can be weaponized. That’s why FUD works.

You just amplify any legit concerns until they seem worse than Trump.

I’m convinced most of the leftists on here are either foreign actors or repeating their talking points.

That strategy won the majority of elections since the 90s.

Trump lost by more in 2020 and repeated his strategy just to win. Too bad he didn’t follow the leftist strategy of complaining and not trying to win.

I’m convinced they are bad actors. With all the damage Trump is doing they still complain about the alternative like they are campaigning for the GOP.

This is why leftists consistently lose elections.

Why all the whataboutism?

Every election cycle there is a non zero number of people that get tricked into voting against their own best interest. That’s a valid thing to call out and be angry about.

Just because that commenter pointed that out doesn’t mean he doesn’t also get angry about all the other things you’re “whatabouting” about.

You have to vote for the lesser of two evils in order to get a chance at changing the election system.

The GOP are trying to take away voting rights. Not the Dems.
