No, we didn't fail then. We failed because the online left fell for the most obvious Russian propaganda campaign to get people not to vote I have ever seen. I called it in November of 2023 that the online left would use Gaza as an excuse to elect Trump and I was right.

Can't wait for the next bullshit reason the left uses to let the Republicans win

The "online left" is Russian bots. The people who read the astroturfing and were swayed by it are not the people whose comments you read.

It's awfully convenient that anything that makes your position look bad is just bots.

If it's convincing enough people to sit out, then it's a problem that needs to be addressed. The outcome is what matters and it worked. Accept responsibility and learn

Idk why you think I'm saying they make my position look bad. I didnt skip any voting. I agree that it's a problem that needs addressed and that the outcome is what matters. My point is that it's not just people on the left whose comments you see. There are others acting in bad faith who are trying to push an opinion that would not have taken hold without them.

Yup. The fact that there were tons of Russian bots pushing discord on the left is well documented.
