She seems like she's very bitter and fucked up tbh. All of the shit she posts lately reminds me of the way JK Rowling posts, absolutely seething about a single issue that is burning her up inside.

    She seems to really hate Hasan who has never said anything about her but since he is the face of the US left she is now attacking him and calling him a misogynist

    He criticized her when she made her non-statement about Palestine and he’s been speaking about her recent twitter meltdowns. But he really tries to hedge what he’s saying, calling her intelligent, pointing out that he’s hung out with her, and saying he was surprised about the statements she’s been making

    Whatever is going on with her she seems singularly focused on attacking the left and everything she says is just dripping with seethe.

    I think the problem is that she's a zionist and she blames the left for how much everyone hates zionists now.

    The thing is that she never had to make that statement where she both sides everything and made it clear she was one, she could have just stayed fucking quiet. The damage she took was entirely self inflicted.

    You can see the exact same behaviour spiral from Ethan Klein and to a lesser extent Destiny. All three of them share the same politics with different presentation styles.

    Does she seriously think it was dedicated online leftists that are totally plugged into The Discourse who who rejected Harris/Biden and not normies, who are mostly neither left nor right but have a contradictory mishmash of beliefs spanning the political spectrum, looking at the two candidates saying different versions of the same shit and deciding that it made no difference who they voted for because they took Harris at her fucking word?

    She knows. But it's not about that, it's about scoring points by owning the leftists and courting controversy to keep up engagement. It's not at all unlike the typical MO of the explicitly rightwing grifters. It works. She is at this point essentially nothing more than the radlib version of the rightwing grifter and it's not a new phenomenon to her either. As Awoo mentioned:

    I might also add to the list although a bit more crass, funny-clown-hammer (va*sh) who I thankfully never even hear about anymore, but who generated a similar response on this website, as seen in this very thread, with calls to limit posting about them because it feeds the grift.

    Wait, was Biden and Harris going to normalize relations with Cuba and not be hostile to them? They assured me that they would continue maximal pressure because they needed to win over moderate Conservatives and fight "authoritarianism". Like, at least for these "lesser evil" libs, they should keep to only issues that they actually differ from Republicans.

    We gotta cut this one loose. She's been shitty for a lot longer than she was cool at this point. Like most of a decade. She isnt our guy and she isnt relevant unless we post her.

    She advocated for the president that would slowly starve Cuba to death, a true progressive.

    If she is such a stronger supporter of Cuba than Hassan why didn't they invite her over to help? Boring chauvanism.

    I'm sure her principled support for Cuba is why she advocated for Biden only after silently waiting for noted war hawk and Cuba hater Bernie Sanders to drop out.

    You know personally, you would never see me agreeing with something a Republican slop account is posting. But I guess that makes me a tankie

    Also, where the hell does her smugness even come from?

    Liberals think they know everything because liberalism is "the end of history, and no one could possibly want to change the political and economic system, because that would be George Owell 1984 Venezuela totalitarianism, read Harry Potter for God's sake!"

    I don't remember Kamala Harris saying anything about improving things for Cuba on her campaign. And not like Biden did anything to undo what Trump did until the very last moment Biden was in office even though it was a big accomplishment under Obama

    Can someone do the thing where they check what political donations she made in 2024?

    Proud of her, it used to take her 10 dresses and so on and so forth.

    edit: Anyway, I know I can just ignore these posts, so it's no big deal, but could we maybe consider having a rule about streamers/YouTubers/influencers only being posted on specific days?

    edit the 2nd: Seems like activity all across hexbear is going down, so I don't want to do something that makes it worse, but maybe this would function to give us more diverse slop?
