It can also be reversed - there were some popular far-left YouTubers who were advocating for not voting or voting third party as a protest against Gaza genocide, yet things that mattered domestically like LGBT, women's rights weren't even considered or mentioned there. The cost of doing business, baby.

Maybe in a sense that 'genocide with some support' and 'genocide with full support' still result in genocide.
Damn these government bird-drone manufacturer DEI programs, really trying to pander to the woke LGBT cultural marxists...

Fun fact: 90% of Democrats quit moving towards the right before getting moderate republican support.
But on a serious note, I remember seeing a bunch of comments on Lemmy about how Trump was guaranteed to lose against Kamala and then far-right would splinter and die out and everything would be fine again, yet this is something that might actually happen to the Democrats, given how they're seemingly pointing fingers at everyone trying to find who to blame and who's responsible. I really hope they don't delude themselves into learning the wrong lessons, but it seems likely to happen.
I'm of the belief that even supporting the working class wouldn't have been enough to beat Trump.
The world isn't doing great right now, and there needs to be an unifying cause, an enemy to rally against and the right worldwide has done a good job to make sure it's nationalism with the enemy being a foreign element or non-local ethnic group (be it jews or immigrants or liberals that want to destroy the country, etc). Trump has leveraged that to great success, and Harris was trying to do that as well with some of her policies and campaign strategy.
If the opposition to the far-right ever wants to take back the lead, I feel like awakening the class consciousness once more is the correct play. Not a socialist movement (though that would probably happen as a result), but just redirecting the anger towards those who are actually responsible for the general decrease in the standard of living and those who have so much influence and interests that directly oppose the classes that are struggling. Granted, this would take a left-wing Trump who US might never get as long as politics are being controlled by big money and corporate interests.
Climate change isn't real, it's the democrat water machines they have in the ocean to punish red states, dummy.
