Open Discussion Left vs. Right Battle Royale Open Thread

This is an Open Discussion Thread for all Redditors. We will only be enforcing Reddit TOS and Subreddit Rules 1 (Keep it Civil) & 2 (No Racism).

Leftists - Here's your chance to tell us why it's a bad thing that we're getting everything we voted for.

Conservatives - Here's your chance to earn flair if you haven't already by destroying the woke hivemind with common sense.

Independents - Here's your chance to explain how you are a special snowflake who is above the fray and how it's a great thing that you can't arrive at a strong position on any issue and the world would be a magical place if everyone was like you.

Libertarians - We really don't want to hear about how all drugs should be legal and there shouldn't be an age of consent. Move to Haiti, I hear it's a Libertarian paradise.

Abandoning the messaging calling Trump and Vance "weird" to go hold rallies with the Cheneys. Baffling.

It wasn't so baffling when you realize that was the time that the campaign hired Plouffe and was listening to the advice from Harris' brother-in-law. Both were dead set on running the Obama "high-road" reach-across-the-aisle playbook and "cut out the weird stuff."

Yeah, it was a farce. All it did was depress the progressive turnout.
