I know way too many people who didn’t vote for either candidate last November because ding dong Donnie is a fascist and Harris didn’t pass the purity test.

That is pretty annoying. I know a Progressive suburban white guy about 40 who is like that about Palestine, every Jew is a Zionist to guys like this, but for every hothead there are people like my progressive friends who work with the local dems to get candidates elected in a red state.

Yeah, and they're all idiots. Trump voters and non voters are all to blame for this shit storm we're in. With that being said, not like there was a record of people not voting this time so it's not about Harris passing a purity test, that wasn't the issue.

No, there was no record number of people NOT voting. In fact, the opposite is true. 2024 in politics, by the numbers : NPR

155 million More than 155 million people cast ballots in the 2024 presidential election. It's second only in U.S. history to the 2020 election. Turnout in 2024 represented 63.9% of eligible voters, the second-highest percentage in the last 100 years,

Millions of registered Dems didn’t bother showing up to vote. That’s why we lost.

I think those were the Uncle Joe loyalists who were pissed that horses were changed in midstream, Jewish Dem voters supporting Israel. Palestinian Dems & some Progressives supporting Palestine. Basically the " I give up, what's the point Dem voter. ", Dem mysogynists & anti "foreigners"IMO .

Don't bother with them, they don't actually understand electoral politics or data. There was literally a record turn out in 2024 but, yeah, it was the purity test lmao.

I agree. It matters now that he's in the spotlight? His endorsement at the height of Israel/Palestine war fog? What possible good would it do? Also the other 40 states had no clue who he was. I didn't til he ran for mayor. Not In NY.

Exactly lol. It literally would not have mattered. As NYC mayor and a Muslim, yes that would carry weight. As a random NYC assemblyman, almost 0 difference.
