Dunking on Liberals from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Dems keep working with trump to approve his picks, but what they won't accept is that if you sit down at a table with nazis, the only thing that's changed is the number of nazis at the table. @[email protected]
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind (except towards liberalism).
- No liberals (unless you are a masochist and enjoy the abuse).
- Strictly no downvoting (downvoters may be community banned, 4 the lulz).
- Bernie Sanders is still a liberal.
We allow posts about liberal behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

She was the best candidate at the time.
She may be the best candidate at time of polling.
Decide:
America was overconfident that an actually good candidate with an excellent resume was a obvious fit for a job against a career felon and fraudster; more believable and better for America. If America can't see it, it's an education issue that can't be solved until better leadership is in for a decade. Until then, I guess it's hammering them with a "this is your America; do you want to fix it or not?" message.
So good she dropped out before any votes for the nomination happened in 2020 and had no steam in her home state?
So good that she failed educating the registered voter base she was running, instead of Biden?
So good she wanted to keep Trump's promises of a strong military and border?
The problem wasn't how she said anything, it never is. The only lesson Dems ever take when they get trounced at the polls is that they need to target their messaging better. There's never any self-crit about the possibility they might need to change their policies. They just assume that an electorate who doesn't want corporate-friendly status quo politics is simply wrong, and needs to be propagandized more convincingly. E.g., 2/3 of the US population agree rich businesses and individuals need to be taxed more. But the Dems assessment seems to be that the majority of the country is wrong on that issue, and just needs to be "educated" better. Fuck meaningfully changing policies to actually address the issue.
You mean a prosecutor who worked extra hard to lock up over-policed black folks in support of the US prison industrial complex? Justice worker my ass. There is no justice to be had in the US.
No, the Dems were overconfident that Trump would be so reprehensible they could sit on their hands, change nothing, put up a lame duck candidate at the last minute after dragging their heels for months over Biden's mental state (which was obvious to literally everyone who heard him talk) and somehow still win the election with a bunch of stale policy positions that were and are deeply unpopular.
