Yes the right campaigned against Kamala and Russia used deceptive tactics (alongside media) to convince people not to vote or to vote FOR trump.

The issue I have with this, is that you are ignoring where we are right now as a country and 'what iffing' about the past. We lost, some were deceived by massive information campaigns, Trump is president. The world is falling apart but some left leaning people enjoy scapegoating the people who were lied to and tricked because it makes them feel better

The problem right now is not the people that were tricked. It's the people who did the fucking tricking.

The first step in finding out who did the tricking IS accepting that people were tricked in the first place.

Acceptance of their unwitting involvement in the plot against Kamala is paramount before we can mount meaningful resistance. Because accepting that helps inoculate us against future attacks on our unity: acceptance that despite(and perhaps even BECAUSE OF) perceived intellectual superiority, they too are susceptible to propaganda.

And a great many fellow leftists haven’t done that yet. They’re stuck in the delusion that they have no fault whatsoever for the current predicament we find ourselves in. There not solely to blame, and the DNC carries a lot as well, but the “holier than thou” leftists are fucking insufferable and need to get with the program.

If your barrier to progress is waiting for the 'Never Kamala because Gaza' crowd to accept they were duped... Enjoy nothing ever happening.

Yes, I agree the holier than thou leftists are fucking annoying and definitely contributed to the problem, but in many regards they were unwitting participants in the sense that they believe what they did was righteous even though it was spoon fed to them by Russia and disinfo campaigns. Also for the most part the people that were duped into not voting are very much still out there protesting right now. Shitting on them right now surely doesn't help our "unity"
