No, it was just part of a broader culture of infantalism demonstrated by Democratic apologists. There was no there there. Just people desperate for something to blame for their incompetence.

but like... if everyone is saying "don't vote third party", and the amount of third party votes significantly drops as a result, isn't this what the result would look like?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the leftists who switched to voting Democratic this election were dwarfed by the Democrats who didn't vote or even voted for Trump.

So they succeeded at what they were trying to do, but it was of negligible benefit.

probably. the actual demographics shifts don't make it over here, only the final numbers.

There is a term for the act of only looking for evidence that confirms your bias. If the "strategy" worked, then why isn't Kamala Harris president?

And if that wasn't the goal of the strategy, what point is it that you think was being made in the first place?

i have no idea what the strategy of the us democratic party was, I'm just reflecting on what i've on social media over the past month or so (a constant barrage of "don't vote third party") and comparing it to the results (very few people voting third party). of course there's no way to know how much of that was due to said barrage, but we can for sure say that the people telling people to vote third party failed.
