if whoever suggested the anchovy pizza knew that most people there didn't like anchovies, and therefore wouldn't have a preference, allowing shit-sandwich to win, then yeah?

being angry at voters who didn't vote the way you wanted them to isn't going to actually achieve anything, though

harris didn't even win the popular vote. it wasn't even a particularly close election. you can't not blame the dnc after a defeat like this.

can't answer for wow but i imagine the change is similar for runescape, where

  • people engage with the game more efficiently than before, which slurps the fun out
  • people have jobs now, so they don't have as much free time to play games

Hozier's Moment's Silence (Common Tongue) references Trump in the first line

Highly Suspect's Viper Strike is more or less all about him and his ilk

  • absolute population growing
  • share of population with feasible access to pokemon-compatible consoles growing
  • share of population who see video games as a legitimate pastime growing

Like, what "leeway" does Kamala have to say anything different than she already has, which she could shift to?

a significant enough chunk of her voter base credibly withholding a vote based on a desired policy change would force a shift toward that desired policy change

i'd say biden's platform in 2020 was significantly more left-wing than clinton's in 2016

But that was then, and this is now.

this is the same "it's too late" or "it's too unprecedented" or whatever you want to pick that was exactly the justification for biden being kept in as long as he was

I think it really does show voting not for a 3rd party but voting for the other side b/c "bOtH sIdEs ArE tHe SaMe" (the title of the post), specifically wrt genocide.

people the post targets aren't voting red. they're just not voting at all, or voting third party. it's an argument to a position held by an insignificant fraction of the left-anti-harris crowd.

it doesn't address the core issue they have. they'd say that continuing to vote for the least-bad party is the reason both parties are bad, and that at a certain point you have to attempt to force a more radical change.
