I highly doubt he people who couldn't check the box for a woman were part of the 10 million who showed up for Biden but not Harris. People made it perfectly clear what would get them to show up, and instead of listening she spit in their faces... Anyone who couldn't bring themselves to vote for a woman was almost certainly a Trump voter start to finish

"I can only think of one occasion when someone mentioned stricter taxes on billionaires or any similar policies. The atrocities being committed by Israel in Gaza only came up six times in more than 1,000 calls. The idea that Harris was not leftwing enough seems false"

The problem with this anecdotal evidence is that the campaign almost certainly put this kid to work only calling likely Republican voters... An absolute waste of time, and of course these are the things those shit brains would be saying... If he had been put to work calling people who had voted for Biden but were less likely to show up this time he would have gotten a lot more genocide, she's not progressive enough, and tax the rich messages

Also throw in any politician who's ever taken a ~~bribe~~ campaign contribution from billionaires/corporations

It's not about the actual boycott... It's about the threat of millions of people boycotting dropping the stock price... And Apple was just an example, could start with an easier target

I'm not sure you understand the assignment

Money helps get the word out.. but theoretically there's gotta be at least the 10 million people who didn't show up, plus the progressive who did show up... If we could get them all on board to vote as a block, maybe we could make something happen

You've been paying for boomers' retirement, there literally won't be enough young people to pay for ours unless rich people start having to actually pay into it too (on their whole wealth/income not just the measly limit we have now)

Sure, but i bet the news of a 10 million people saying they're going to boycott would still hurt their stock price

Trump voters are misogynistic assholes, that's a given, and pay off the reason the Dems shouldn't have been trying to get them... But it's not like a bunch of people who voted for Joe went and voted for Trump... He didn't get more votes this time. Millions of Biden voters just didn't show up... And I don't believe for a second that they didn't show up because they just didn't want to vote for a woman

It does suck that this country has so many misogynists... But they are a known factor and can/should have been planned for... that's not what cost Dems this election

It's definitely worth it... Even if you just went to your schools guidance counselor they might be able to help you get the ball rolling finding one
