Regulatory capture and citizens united both exist to undo those checks and balances. No system is immune to corruption.

In a democracy it is the voters who decide. If leftists want to stay home because Kamala isn’t far enough left then we all get fascism.
According to the polls it was the economy that motivated voters the most and dems lost voters because of high inflation during Bidens term causing voters to think it was Bidens policies causing inflation.
Republican ads specifically blamed Bidens ‘progressive radically leftist’ policies.
This is what happens when the left doesn’t show up to vote because of there aren’t any candidates far enough left in their opinion. The people that actually vote will be further right on the ideological spectrum and the right most candidate gets elected.
Also if you didn’t vote for Harris
A) they are policies to the left of center. Saying they are random policies doesn’t even make sense.
B) something less progressive but still left of center. Meaning a move to the left.
C) the way time works, things have to happen before 2024 for them to exist in 2024. No one is saying “too far left”. That’s a straw man you are try to create.
Your opinion of how left Kamala was doesn’t matter.
It’s the voters opinions that matters. Republican propaganda convinced voters that Kamala is a radical leftists.
I agree that you should stop replying based on your feelings. Join reality instead.
Claiming Liz Cheney is responsible for 13 million people not voting is the bullshit.
2020 had the highest voter turnout ever because of the pandemic.
Billionaires were doing things like buying votes to avoid being taxed by Kamala.
Republicans convinced many Americans that Biden and his “radical left wing” policies were responsible for inflation.
Enemy nations like China and Russia favored Trump and used their bot farms accordingly.
No one I know that voted irl ever even cared about Liz Cheney.
The idea that Liz Cheney could sway 13 million votes is ridiculous.
Because the propaganda machine made up of foreign bot farms, billionaires and republican “news” media has convinced half the American population that it’s all fake news. Oh and most of the judicial system is corrupted by republican politicians.
Thanks for taking the time to type all that out. The person you were responding to was obviously arguing in bad faith and it’s been rampant lately.

It is based of the posts and comments here on lemmy from leftists claiming Harris lost because ‘the DNC wasn’t left enough’. Also all the leftists here on lemme leading up to the elections claiming that both sides are the same and that we should vote 3rd party.
