A party needs forward-looking and backward-looking voters in order to prosper. You can’t win elections without the forward-lookers. But without the backward-lookers holding people accountable, you end up electing candidates who won’t actually accomplish anything when they do manage to win.
The utilitarian folks arguing that “on the net, Harris would be better for reasons A, B, and C…” are forward-looking voters. Those staying home in protest of Palestine were backward-looking voters.
People simply have different cultures; liberals SHOULD realize and accept this. Not everyone thinks like you. Not everyone has the same voting culture you do. You are a forward-looking voter. But you shouldn’t chauvinistically shame those of a different culture. Your way is not the only way.
Bruh, I’m not gonna forgive folk who “okayed” me getting my ass killed in the next four years just because they have “a different culture” on voting.
This isn’t about “holding Dems accountable”, it’s about the literal fucking fascist proclaiming literal fucking fascist things running and the race being tight. This wasn’t 2012. This wasn’t 2008. Fuck, it wasn’t even 2000 or 2004. It wasn’t even fucking 2016, when people could plead ignorance as to Trump’s character, if they were not deeply politically involved.
If they said “Anti-fascism isn’t enough for me to throw my lot in to prevent fascism” in 2020 or 2024, they’re a fascist enabler. End of story.

Ironic to hear about “forward looking” from a protest voters who enabled a genocide to complete its work in the fastest possible way.
You should be ashamed of yourself, sadly you never learned about morality or responsibility 🤷
