This is reason.com, famously a libertarian propaganda mill. Safe to completely ignore.

I really fear for the family lives of folks living in liberal strongholds like Georgia.

There's nothing to abandon the alt right for. If the democrats decided to run on a platform that was even remotely progressive, do literally anything for worker's rights, they'd win a lot of disenfranchised voters. Obama won, and that's not because all of a sudden, just for a moment, America wasn't racist. No, it was because he promised to solve one of the problems that's killing Americans in every stratum: healthcare. Instead, we get fracker and border wall builder Harris.

Pretty based take for a reactionary shithole

I feel like you have a misconception about how democracy works. When there's position that enjoys broad popular support (such as universal health care, or a cessation of the genocide in Gaza), it isn't on the democrats to take that position so the electorate will vote for them, it's on the electorate to either change their mind on the issue, or vote for the democrats regardless.

It's important to internalize this lesson. Next cycle you'll likely get to practice it with trans rights, if the talking heads on MSNBC who are blaming wokeness for the democrats losing the election are any indication. The idea that politicians and their policies are responsible for losing/winning elections is silly. You're here for them, not the other way around.

Slow genocide is better
