You should try critical thinking kiddo. How did the number of Third party voters, which was lower than the difference between Trump and Harris Voters, make Harris lose the election, kiddo?
If every single third party voter voted for Harris not only would she not have won, she would not have gotten a single additional electoral college vote.
The people that didn't vote for Harris, and thus lost Harris the election, were democratic voters that failed to turn out for a genocidal far-right monster.
It's the non voters too. And it doesn't matter if you call yourself a Democrat or a 3rd party or apolitical. If you didn't vote for Harris, you helped Trump. And you are responsible for Trump. Suck it up and take responsibility for your own actions already. If you really think Harris would have been as bad as Trump then you can say that and be ridiculed for that ignorance instead. But basic logic of how votes work in the U.S. isn't up for argument.
"Non-voters" didn't lose the election. Democrats lost the election. Democrats failed to draw voters that voted for fucking Joe Biden, because Harris went further right than Joe Fucking Biden. In a competition against Donald Trump.
Democrats that voted for Biden, did not vote for Harris. That is the sole reason Harris lost. Not the third party voters. Not these made up non-voters. You. Your party. People that voted for your candidate before did not this time. They believed that Biden 2020 was not better than Trump 2016 and decided Harris, running on Biden's platform, would not do better than either because of her campaign.
Harris lost voters that were guaranteed. It does not matter who else did what. Harris is responsible for losing the democrat voters that voted for Biden. You are arguing with your own party and your own voters, and you do not have the majority view.
No we lost the election because Trump won and we are all fucked over by that choice because it was a much worse choice than the only other viable choice at the time. I'm not a Democrat, I'd prefer a much more progressive government. But given one of the other it was fucking crazy not to do everything possible to avoid Trump.
