The "carrot" approach clearly isn't working. Im sorry to say but some people genuinely need "the stick". They need to be shamed and reminded of their inaction when it came to not voting Harris.

Carrot approach? When? Where? What carrots?

The last time the Democrats did the carrot approach was Obama 2008. And he won by an absolute landslide. Every other time was "You don't want the current Republican to do these bad things, do you?"

imo these people are just so privileged and entitled that they think giving potential voters nothing but being slightly less outwardly fascist is "the carrot"

it makes no sense to me how regardless of the outcome they think they can blame anyone but the democratic party. coke isn't entitled that i buy their product over pepsi and neither of them are entitled that i buy their product. why would it be any different for voting, especially in a country where as many have pointed out, your vote boils down to consumer validation rather than actually exercising some supposed democratic right?

I've been begging for half a carrot. Even just lie and tell me there's a carrot. That's my bare minimum.

they don't even respect us enough to lie, it would risk scaring the donors

What, is promising to bury more Palestinian mothers in rubble not a good enough incentive for you?
