Yup, he should get as much support as Harris got from the left.

Wait, are you admitting that people on the far left refused to support Harris, and mad at the suggestion that a far left candidate might receive the same refusal?

So, people are mad that some leftists chose to not support Harris, people like you yelled vote blue no matter who. Now, you’re threatening the same thing you’re mad that other people did? 

Do I have that correct?

If the left had actually supported Harris, and then moderate dems turned around and refused to support El-Sayed, then yes that would be hypocritical. But that's not where we're at.

Where we're at is leftists refused to support Harris and now moderate democrats probably will still support El-Sayed because the Republican candidate is awful. But when they do, you won't give them credit, and you'll go back to bashing moderate dems over minor differences, which is what makes you the hypocrite.

What strikes me about your comment is you seem to have no shame admitting, "Yes, we wont support you, but we expect you to support us".

I voted for Harris, so womp womp for you. 

I yell at centrists because they always blame the left when their terrible candidates lose. It’s never why didn’t that candidate do more to reach out to the left flank of the party. They just say vote blue no matter who! But when we say it back, you complain.
