I’m fully aware that the HL all stars and their leaders tried this gambit in 2016. They said if Hillary won it would be the end of their movement.Hopefully for his sake in another universe Trump wins, has his judges and gestapo strip the population of all the basic rights he believes are due to any human and 300 years later the revolution happens and ushers in a eutopia (which will be on the moon because the GOP running things will have allowed earth to be ravaged by climate change and the ensuing wars for the scarce resources left leaves the planet uninhabitable )
But if Trump won; then they’d have successfully shifted the Overton window by activating tons of new and youth voters that would then force the dem party to bow to their needs.
So here we are 8 years later hearing the same hope babble.
The truth is, they just encouraged people who weren’t excited about taking part in the system to be even more apathetic.
But for me, the biggest issue is with so much fish galloping of purity tests they a failed to focus on the initiatives that everyone loved and would have actually given them power.
Now Biden has basically taken the popular stuff and made it mainline while shrugging off their purity politics and they are no longer useful.
TLDR, they wasted their clout and actually spelled their own doom in a way.
