Saying leftists cost Kamala the election is a right wing narrative intended to portray leftist ideas as inherently unpopular. Kamala lost because she was an unpopular candidate not chosen by the people who refused to condemn a genocide, not the boogeyman

Don’t like Kamala much (voted for her tho) but I lowkirkenuinely think she would’ve won if Biden didn’t try to run. A lot of median voter types I talked to like didn’t know what she stood for at all bc she didn’t have time to properly solidify her positions n shit

Leftist ideas aren’t *inherently* unpopular, but they are generally unpopular according to polling data.

Being a leftist and embracing ICE aren’t the only options.

Certain left wing ideas like tax funded healthcare are actually quite popular, I will chalk up the lack of a real American left wing to a) a general lack of political education in the general American populace and b) deliberate efforts by the capital class to dissuade leftist thought in media and government
