How dare I vote for Kamala Devi Harris and work my ass off trying to get enough others to do the same! Do you fucking hear yourself?

So did I. It wasn't enough; and blaming politicians for voters failures is an abdication of responsibility.

I blame the 🍊 and non and 3rd party voters. Why TF would I blame the 75 mil who ACTED RIGHT? That’s fucked up, stupid, and self destructive. Why not just stop and off ourselves right now by that logic?

Ed K @edk.bsky.social

You're entirely correct about who is most to blame; I just want to push back against certain groups which claim no responsibility despite not doing the work. (Good intentions aren't enough. I campaigned for Harris, but spend time thinking about what to do better next time. If there is a next time.)

No, in context, he's only saying what we've been saying all along. White voters are to blame here. As a group, we Failed. And anyone who only did the bare minimum, which, it sounds like this guy did, while criticizing Kamala Harris when we were all up against fascism? Should be blamed.

Because honestly? If we fail here in 2026 (& 2028) if we can't elect enough Democrats to stop Trump & Republicans? It becomes much more likely we're going to need other countries to stop the US.

6. All "blue" states are full of Trumpers. How would we deal with them if we did secede? What would stop them from destroying us from the inside? 7. What army would we use to fight the US army that would not just let us go on our merry way??? ☹️

This is right on, Jamie--the terrible harm that would come to folks already so vulnerable. People can't and shouldn't be expected to pick up and leave. It will literally kill people. People like me can't pretend that this a problem we can kick down the road. We have to turn, face it, and FIX IT.

Not to mention the "blue" state you move to today is not guaranteed to remain that way. Jersey is trending purple, and when the dust settles in the Gubernatorial election, having a MAGAt in the governor's mansion is a very real possibility. No cap, it's that close.

Also red states can only become blue with hard work and INVESTMENT and solidarity. Virginia went from the capital of the confederacy to the 1st southern state to ban the death penalty IN MY ADULT LIFE! That takes teamwork!

These people never think of the realities. Do they understand how expensive it is to move? Ceding whole states and leaving people like you, racial minorities, elderly people, etc. at the mercy of monsters? How is this different from white nationalists wanting their own states?
