I really want the Dems to suffer for pushing genocide. But I know in the end they will just blame leftists and third party voters and not learn their lesson.

If Biden loses the election, anti-genocide leftists will be blamed. If he wins, anti-genocide leftists will be told to fuck off and that the result of the election is proof that the “adults in the room” are rejecting our “extremism.”

Democrats win, they move right.

Democrats lose, they move right.

How can we ever explain or understand such things?

It's an opportunity for us to push the correct narrative. It's up to us.

I think you're wrong. We want to get blamed. That means we have enough power to swing elections, and even though rhetorically they'll say we're the bad guys for not bending the knee, we still hold the power to win them or lose them the elections, which is one step closer to having them listen.

Realistically they'll still rather eat the loss than let the left dictate what policies we want, but that will only sharpen the contradictions anyway. I see this as an absolute win.
