That'll send the Dems a message!

What message?

"The far-right gets more votes than a moderate, and there is no sizable left-wing voter bloc in this country"?

Huh.

Maybe that was the wrong message to send.

If that's their takeaway, then we're doomed. They did nothing but court Republicans with their "We can be tough on migrants too" shit. It always blows up in their faces. Biden ran a moderately progressive campaign and blew Trump out of the water. Maybe... just maybe the supposed left party should stop courting the right. Most Americans agree with progressive policies (once you couch them to not sound too "socialist")

Yes, which is why we should've sent a different message.

The only other message that could be sent is "Yes, good, keep doing that."

Been saying it for days, so I'll say it again.

Survive now, protest later. Killing yourself and everyone else is not an effective message.

Let me correct you:

"Survive maybe, protest never. There is no effective way to send a message regardless of how many people have or will die."
