Stop excusing democrat failures as sexism.
Your candidates, (which I voted for so fuck all the way off,) are unelectable. It’s not about sex it’s about they are unpopular corporate sell outs and we all know it.
We knew they couldn’t win, and nominated (or annointed as Kamala’s case is,) them anyway.
WTF is wrong with you? That you blame voters and not the “opposition party” at this point.
Wake the fuck up!
Dems have picked bad candidates for 30+ years. Further evidence of this, is they act like Obama was some miracle… instead of just a DECENT candidate. Remember also he ‘stole’ the election from Hillary in 2008… because the DNC had already decided back then she was ‘their candidate’. And how nasty people got about it… holy crap the DNC HATED Obama, but the people liked him, and he kicked Hillary’s ass in the primaries, and the media and the DNC tried super hard to stop him
They just don’t want to win. They want to admonish the american public how stupid they are for not voting Democratic, rather than… try and appeal to them.
And it’s funny, when a Dem candidate does appeal to people and isn’t a self-important fool… they win.
You’re missing the thing about organising an insurrection and being a pedophile, but we get the picture
Hey I read trampolines were originally just called olines until Melania jumped on one.
America would never have woman president, even the left was like “we want the old white man gone!”
gets an educated black woman
“Eeew not like that”
To be fair, Biden saying he was a transitional president, running, dropping out, then Kamala getting the nomination without a primary was not a winning strategy for anyone involved, much less a woman specifically.
People would despise that President and they would be historically unpopular and judges would by and large stymie their illegal actions, at least domestically?
Might even be impeached once. Possibly twice.
Is she fat and 80 years old? Otherwise it’s obviously a bad politician.
Imagine thinking Kamala would have pushed back against Israel’s dictats. The Gaza genocide didn’t suddenly get worse when Trump took office, and the war on Iran was always the plan. If anything, Trump’s handling of it is preferable because of how much he sucks at it, categorically, from the execution to the optics.
Don’t get me wrong, I voted for Harriss and Orange Man must be fought on every front, but Kamala would have most of the same problems, without the shiny statue ballroom bullshit to distract her. We The People can do better.
She would not have been perfect, but to think she wouldn’t have been exponentially better than this rapaciously corrupt, bloodthirsty and fascistic regime is incorrect.
I like to imagine a world where we Saddam’ed Netanyahu, then decided to hang up the world police thing and relinquish every military base on foreign land. It’s never gonna happen, but it’s fun to think about
WHATTABOUT THIS OTHER THING THAT DIDNT HAPPEN?
If Kamala had been a man, he’d be president right now.
Only reason why she lost (Besides tankies hating anyone who doesn’t promise the sky)
Strange that tankies are powerful enough to swing an election, yet for some reason Democrats choose to ignore them. I wonder why that is?
doesn’t promise the sky
because “hey can you, like, not genocide people?” is too much to ask for, apparently
tankies
i believe you severely overestimate the influence some annoying internet communists have on politics
America is not breaking up with Israel.That’s something we’re gonna have to make peace with
If you think the anti-genocide bloc swung the election then you either need to concede to their demands or accept your genocidal candidates will never win again.
“The voters need to get over it and vote for me” is the dumbest possible electoral strategy. Unless of course your support for israel is worth putting ahead of any other policy.
“The voters need to get over it and vote for me.” is exactly the attitude to have when the other guy is Donald Trump and he’s holding minorities hostage
So you think it was more important to support israel’s genocide than to win the election. interesting.
No much the opposite.
Both candidates were Pro-Israel. I just wanted the one that wasn’t after trans people.
Palestine is already doomed. It is best to help the people who can still be helped before Trump has us put in camps.
Nobody really gives a fuck about Israel or Palestine. Those two groups of people, with vatious names, have basically been fighting over their stupid holy land for all time.
Not to mention, if both candidates are supporting Israeli genocide, then at least pick the one that isn’t also a colossally unqualified hate monger. Because at the end of the day, again, some stupid endless holy war country doesn’t matter, next to home, and everywhere else in the world’s safety.
This.
I don’t know why Tankies thought a temper tantrum was more important than minorities. Because it’s not like Trump is an ally of Palestine.
Yes, this group of people who you’re trying to get to vote for you…have you tried offering them the thing that they want? Wild stuff!
then the freedom of Palestine will require the death of one more country.
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. That’s something we’re gonna have to make peace with
I hate Israel too, but America isn’t going to stop sucking up to them no matter what you do. It’s impossible. Saving Palestine is a lost cause, the best you can do is save those who can still be saved.
That’s fatalism. Instead of saying “It can’t be done”, you should be asking “How can it be done?”
No I’m being realistic. Any politician who suggests Israel is anything less than perfect is labeled an anti-semite and black listed from Washington.
Israel owns this country and there’s nothing we can do about it.
I really wish we could disband AIPAC and stand up and send a message saying “No it’s not anti-semetic to be against child murder.”
But we live in a climate where even suggesting Israel isn’t a utopia rightfully ruled by the best of the best makes you a Neo Nazi. You’d have better luck getting Texas to abolish Capital Punishment or Kansas to give transpeople their IDs back… which are both goals we should focus on because unlike challenging Israel they are possible.
I am not an apologist for Israel. I fucking hate them and see Nethanyu as the Modern Day Hitler… but there’s nothing we can do about them.
Why would you think Kamala wouldn’t have started a war with Iran, or would/could have run it significantly better. (different perhaps, but better?) We don’t know of course.
Remember Trump’s first term he was the only president in memory to not send troops for something. If war was your only consideration you could be justified in thinking Trump’s proven track record made him the best choice in 2024. We of course know how that turned out, which is a lesson few will learn for next time they put their trust in a president.
Yeah, okay. Among the candidates in 2024 who were formerly a president, he was the least warlike! However, this is counter-balanced by the fact that, among the candidates in 2024 were formerly a president, he was also the most warlike!
Why would anyone have started a war with Iran?
- Negotiations were in place for nuclear disarmament, that nobody was projecting failure on.
- Hormuz was always a known entity to the intelligence communities.
- Israel has long needed to be told to get back in its box.
well when you remember that America just does whatever Israel tells them to do… that’s why we were inevitably going to start a war in Iran no matter who was elected.
Syria fell, Hezbollah in Lebanon was weakened. This openned air corridor to Iran from Israel. Biden was very supportive to Israel during Gaza. Its hard to imagine Iran operation would not get some support as well. Messaging would probably be about human/women rights so it would be easier for the publicc to swallow.
Iran was already fighting a proxy war with Israel. We can debate the best response, but don’t claim the war is new. I too opposed this action because bad as Iran is, war is still evil.
Israel has long needed to be told to get back in its box.
And…? That would’ve changed with Harris how?
I was unaware Harris was talking about her desires to turn Gaza into a vacation beach full of hotels during the election lead up.
Going to war with Iran is giving Israel exactly what it wanted. So, why would someone want a ground war with Iran?
I personally don’t believe Kamala would have started a war with Iran as the intelligence community wouldn’t have recommended it. Were a war started, at the very least it would have included the support of allies.
Many allies were happy with the war when it started. Their only concern was that they were not consulted. Merz/Starmer in particular.
I’m not so much concerned with their perspective on the war as I am having their support in achieving war objectives.
Absolute outrage would ensue.
Is that why Trump is phishing for scandals with the fighting ring thing?
