This is sort of strawmanning some of the criticism. Leftists who held up nonvoting as some kind of magic bullet for gaza definitely seem like they are dumber than rocks for thinking nonvoting is the same as strategic voting.

However, There’s a bunch of like consultants and dem strategists that have clung to this to scapegoat these people as though there wasn’t a long chain of massive errors dems and their braindead consultants weren’t heavily involved in.

At the end of the day just stop listening to “not voting is a moral stance” people and put fires under the real culprits: lying republican media and apathetic democrat politicians

The alternatives to DEI are:

Conformity Inequity Exclusion

Its good to mock those couple hundred people anyway, but to blame them for it is scapegoating. They’re obviously kind of dumb but yeah like Joe Biden running for re-election is like probably the #1 dick that Democrats tripped over. Campaigning with abysmally unpopular Cheneys, buying ads on republican media instead of knocking on doors or spending money on dem neutral media, focusing too much on trump instead of on strengths, moving right on immigration all contributed.

2024 was nothing less than a strategic clusterfuck.

Dems should run primaries even when they’re running for re-election. Its free coverage and right wing media has to address it.

The trick is to be rich enough that you can hire security squads with helicopters and armored vehicles. The only reason to have a gun in that situation is to take pot shots at the plutocrats.
