Harris said she wouldn't be any different than Biden, meaning she doesn't have a spine and would have let Bibi Netanyahu and the Israeli government dog walk her with little pushback.
Genocide is an unforgivable crime that must be rejected by everyone at every station in society.
Fuck Joe Biden for not dropping from the race earlier and withholding primaries from us. Genocide Joe will earn his keep forever with that decision.
Her support for genocide was certainly a glaring weakness, but what really lost her the election is that the majority of left-leaning voters are sick of status quo corporate policies. Democrats keep trying to court the Sunday brunch crowd, when the economy is so bad that the brunch crowd doesn't even exist anymore. The Dems have alienated the left-wing so completely that they ran fucking Liz Cheney as VP. But even that strategy was stupid because why would right wingers vote for Republicans-lite?
The veil is starting to fall on US politics, and the people starting to realize that American Democracy is a dream, not reality.
Democrats spent the 2024 Presidential Election courting Republicans, even far right Democrats, instead of banking on a populist leftist platform of people over profits.
The ultimate manifestation of the base rejecting that ethos was in the Palestinian freedom movement.
That is pretty valid. Him not dropping out did rob us of our primaries and our choice. I wonder if that was their plan all along.
Yeah.. Nevermind all the good shit people do.. Lets focus 200% on this single issue and then vote for a convicted criminal with lots of rape accusations.
The problem is that the right wing supported Trump (because they believed him). And, then, there were people on the left wing who attacked Harris, and drowned out their good policies.
Either Harris nor biden are at fault. It's people like you.
So, instead of electing someone who is a bit shit, you elected someone who is 1200% shit
Congrats on making racism a thing again worldwide.
I agree with what you've said but I don't think this person actually voted Trump.
If I were to guess, based on their message alone they probably didn't vote, or cast it for some random with no chance.
You could argue that not voting, or wasting the vote, is akin to voting for Trump. But regardless, I agree that people with the OPs mindset helped trump her elected and made everything worse for everyone... Except billionaires
I voted for Kamala.
I didn't endorse her, and I criticized her until the very last moment. But I swallowed the pill because she was a better choice than Trump.
She had every opportunity from when Biden dropped to Election Day to ride her hype wave to success. But instead, she told Walz to shut up with his populist leftist speech, told everyone at the DNC that she wants the "world's most lethal military", said she'd be no different from Biden, and all the while wasted 1 BILLION DOLLARS IN THE PROCESS.
Kamala's campaign was the worst fumble in recent political history. It mocks all the effort Bernie Sanders had to go through TWICE.
Waste of a candidate, and waste of an election.
In the current US voting system, not voting Harris was functionally the same as voting Trump. You always need to vote for the lesser evil unless you want the greater evil in a two party system.
Former President Biden failed in regard to the Middle East, but the MAGA fucknuts shit the bed on a greater scale.
Genocide is genocide. US foreign policy is US foreign policy, regardless of party.
