They switched because another spineless moderate was not what they wanted. Trump promised something other than the status quo.
Every bit of data we have suggests otherwise. Literally the only thing supporting your claim is "Well, I'm a leftist, therefore I get to decree reality". Actually talk to any of the people who switched? You get things like "I'm afraid that the new illegals will take my job" or "My father was killed by the communists back home so I'll never support a socialist" or "Trump doesn't condescendingly insist he knows what's best for me and I need to shut up and do what I'm told".
This is correct. The past 4 years have been a general undermining of the left, in particular by the moderates and by what I've called the security faction. What you see from Shonus here is just a continuation of it. They need someone to blame, you see. The left probably either (rarely) did not vote or more likely voted for Harris because there wasn't much choice. The populist swingers who left already had a long time ago, because what they were working towards has been stymied by the powermongering of the moderate faction for the past several elections.
An example for one of the things Shonus listed is actually pretty egregious on scale of betraying one's allies. You see, in some cities people have dared to vote for a reformist (generally lefty) prosecutor. To stop this, the security faction (who are politically conservative and right of the moderates) and the moderates to some degree specifically played up the fear of communism in communities with people who fled or were the children of those who fled communism. They falsely equated US lefties with this form of authoritarian socialism or communism, or at least sharing many of the bad features. This is inaccurate because that only looks at one axis of economic theory when the true concern of these people was the authoritarian nature of existant communism, which the American Left generally does not share, though as noted during the pandemic that may bend in a hurricane. This has been a part of what I am describing, and why these people have fucked themselves (except the security faction who will probably jobber for Trump as long as he keeps the taxdollars flowing because... conservative baddies mostly)
I just heard some horseshit on the NPR. There were some ladies who claimed to be feminists, which may be true in a general sentiment kind of way, but which sort of feminist? If you are unable to spew more than general unkindness towards men, in my opinion that does not make an effective feminist.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminist_movements_and_ideologiesMen have plenty to blame for and I would know, but the simple fact is the Democrat party screwed itself. She wasn't a terrible person or the worst candidate ever, but there is no way she would ever make it past the primaries. It's not because of sexism or racism, it's because the bad part of the party is exploiting views on identity to ring in people who are often corrupt or not competent. In this case she was going to be a rubber stamp for the corrupt as hell security parts of our government. I have been yelling at these people for 20 years about these things and they group me in as a fucking radical when I am pretty much center left at most, because and only because I'm not in their lame ass in-club, and I say this because I have been CORRECT. In fact, I will continue to be CORRECT outside of the party if this shit continues. Own up to your fuck up or I'm out. It's time to change. Get Pelosi and crew out and put in some young, reasonable, uncorruptable (if you can find and encourage this trait) people to do things. Get all the kissasses out who are hijacking and blocking reforms. Encourage in Rev. Barber (unless there is some reason I don't know of why this would be bad like I don't know some kind of foreign influence I haven't run across yet in news articles) instead of that wishy wash angryman on MSNBC who just doesn't seem to like certain young people and shows it frequently. Run out the assholes who keep taking things from people and expect them to like them. Do many things like this, or if that is impossible then the some things that you can realistically do instead of none of the things and you will win politically; teach the next leaders
Of the True Greatness of Kingdoms and Estates to pair with modern thought on the matter and to a good and honest nature and you will also be victorious how their predecessors were struggling frequently with; but you are propping up people who are not doing a good job because asskissing and buttcovering is easy. That's why the security faction is so damn good at it.
