I’m a progressive and like many progressives, I voted for Harris. There are progressive media outlets like Majority Report, like Cool Zone, like Some More News, and so onnnnn who encouraged progressives to vote for Harris because we rather deal with Dems, but what did CNN and NYT do for y’all? 1/3
Did u vote for HRC
This convo didn’t start about that, tho. Y’all’s eagerness to be mean is unhelpful when directed at allies. I went out of my way to talk over reactive Dems to try and encourage new young and old non-voters to vote to mitigate harm, but then Dems chased their loss by platforming transphobia. 2/3
Who’s being mean. Ur just not listening
3/3 Y’all’s cynicism to appeal to Republicans even as you laugh at their misery is odd. Your ability to not know the main difference between you and progressives is what we think actually works is a problem you rather aggravate. Dems lost swing voters, not cuz of progressives. Did CNN help?NYT?
Why would I care about Briahna Joy Gray you goof? Do you think we iconize famous or infamous progressives/leftists? Sometimes it feels that’s where a lot of these out of pocket grievances come from. Here’s something, RBG sat on that seat till she died. Coefficient of the US was 43% in 2024. 1/2
Trump wouldn’t be potus without progressives who voted not Hillary bc HRC didn’t earn their vote. That’s what it all boils down to. Where were u
Are you a fan of history? Do you know what de jure and de facto racism mean? Like, what is your lvl here. I voted for Clinton. You know who didn’t, swing voters? Wanna know what happens when people think the economy is bad? They either sit out the vote or vote out the incumbent. 1/3
The bail out hindered Obama and galvanized anti-establishment rhetoric. Libertarians voted for Bernie alongside some Dems and Progressives. With Bernie out Libertarians either sat out or voted Trump. Progressives majorly still voted esp in areas where BLM thrived. 2/3
3/3 You rather easy answers, but only those that confirm your bias. You chase this convo out of its starting point to chase rage and to be the last word because you must be right in your righteous anger towards possible allies. Registered Dems outnumber Reps in TX. How do Dems lose their votes?
U literally sound like u just finished ur first poly sci class and now ur headed out to change the world. Clueless

Gerrymandering my guy. It’s all over the fucking news. Pay attention!! My god
Yes!! That’s the point! Jebus. That’s the point of this convo!! That there are people repressed there who didn’t vote for Trump! Gods. You sound like you’re just catching up.
2/2 NYT and CNN weren’t easy on Biden. Like I mean… if you want to really see progressives, watch what we choose to critique and focus on vs what NYT and CNN did, and I ask you, what do you think the public said was the reason for their vote? Are you ready to pause and stop assuming?
I’m not assuming anything. Ur not listening. Ur telling me- a minority in a deep red state and a victim Of trumps and TX republican policies- what my experiences should be and what my expectations should be. Just stop. Instead- start listening to dems in deep red states and learning from us.
Born and raised a red state! In a giant blue city! Return to where this convo started. The request is to hold accountable those who deserve it, but not at the cost of those who don’t! To know this! My family and friends are worth knowing live there! We can be specific in our accountability!
lol get some life experience bro. U clearly have none
Whatever friend.
U remind me of xtian conservatives who tell me being gay is a choice. And I tell them it is not a choice. I tell them instead of telling gay ppl that they are sinners and less than human- try listening and learning from them. And they never do bc their Bible told them so. Pure ignorance
