    The mistake was running a geriatric against Trump back in 2020. It was a losing move for Biden to stay in the race as long as he did, it would have been just as much of a losing move to hold a primary before he left the race, and there wasn’t enough time to hold a primary once he did step back. If the president hadn’t been 81 years old and was in a stable mental state they wouldn’t have needed to leave the race, and Trump would most likely have lost. Fingers crossed whoever runs against the republicans next time (assuming there is a next time) learns from that mistake and platforms someone in their 50s instead.

    Reckless like her continued support of Israel in their genocide against the Palestinian people, which lost her entire districts which may have voted otherwise? Or reckless like doing appearances with Dick fucking Cheney to appeal to an imaginary centrist voting block that isn’t there, instead of pushing one single progressive policy? That kind of reckless?

        Right! And there’s still people mad at Muslim voters because they have been effectively disenfranchised from our political systems. People care just enough for a vote but don’t care if elected officials are held accountable. As long as the pumpkin spice and reality TV keeps rolling we’ll happily march ourselves to the labor and breading camps ourselves. But I’m sure the next “No kings” march will turn things around.

        I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here. I voted for Harris because I live in the real world and realized that the alternative was… <Gestures around at everything in general>

        But a whoooole fuckton of people didn’t, and it’s pants on head stupid to disregard her shitty campaign’s role in that.

            Not so. I blame the DNC a lot, and yes Harris made a choice to try and appeal to the mythical “moderates” which was dumb as hell but here we are. And when it gets all the way to election day, put up or shut up.

            We’ll face the same thing again because evil pollsters and zombified consultants will show conclusive proof “moderates” vote and leftists don’t. You can’t build anything on nothing.

                Not at this particular moment, no.

                The fact is the voters have the final say. And they said.

    She can fuck off I don’t give a damn what her excuse is. She had a progressive movement even chose the correct VP. Yet she refused to call out and a genocide and then went with the Caneys trying once again to cort Republicans rather then fhe progressive vote.

    I still voted for her, but it was not a surprise that she lost.

      owner class even owns the minds of most United States citizens

      a hosepipe down your throat and excrement poured in the hose straight to the bowels to be shat out to make more mouth feed for the hose and most in the United States would beg for more happily

      case in point \ /

      if they do not represent you then quit fucking voting for them and represent some other ways such as civil disobediance

      bending over and spreading your ass cheeks while begging to be fucked is just asking to be fucked and is not a vote or some representation of one’s values/ethics/where you might want the world to be at/etcetera

      not helping and it is just throwing a vote plus time and effort away plus helping the owner class keeping us down by playing their rigged game never win at

        Lol even if she did win. Could you factually say we’d be any closer to living wages, ending the genocides around the world, improving education, stopping corruption in every branch of government, stopping or reversing climate change, and so much more! Neoliberals like Harris are just republican that pay lip service to their base before fucking them. At least the conservatives say they are going to cut taxes and deport innocent people. But when democrats do that very same thing we smile and pretend it’s not happening. (Biden and Obama still deported more people per month than Trump is even now. The difference is people put up more of a fight when conservatives do it and Trump’s presidency is still wildly incompetent.)

          I think we would be closer to all those things than we are now, having backslid on every single one of those metrics since Trump took office.

    Of course it was. A substantial, but not the only, piece of idiocy she and Biden displayed. Whole bunch of fucking idiots the lot of em.

    Diet Hillary needs to go fuck off to some woods. Nobody wants to hear what she has to say. Not anymore.
