Well, you had two options, Kamala or Trump. He was never going to deliver a sensible government, based upon democratic principles. So: she was the only one who would deliver it! She ain’t a saint or a saviour, she was just a much better choice than the alternative.

Fuck
We could have had it so good. A normal, dysfunctional partisan gridlocked democracy where the lines are clear and the occasional bill sneaks through Congress.
Then in another four years, maybe someone a little more progressive, eager to actually get things done.

Except they didn't. Because there's no such thing. The idea of a "reset" does not exist.
What actually happens is what you're seeing now. Things get worse. And they don't improve until you start improving them, which the Democrats, were already going to do. Now your start point to improving your country is WAY further back because you voted fascists back in and four more years away from happening.
Assuming, you still have free and fair elections.
You're not going to magically get a new political system that isn't first past the post. Just because people who helped their country get further away from the things they pretend to want are too special to use their fucking brains.
"accelerationists" are fucking morons.

"accelerationists" are fucking morons.
So you have that reset, you would have to accelerate things to the absolute breaking point, think Germany's total defeat in WW2. Imagine what such a scenario with the US could mean for the world.
To get where exactly after that reset? This is a prepper mindset: they think you can buy camping gear and weapons and be fine and after the purge there is a new world.

Exactly, it's a catastrophic idea.

Not THAT far, because sans Nazi's in power, all the same politics and brain washing still existed.
I think people just have this, really Romanticised idea of post WW2 Europe.

This is where the super progressives hurt Harris. They’re entitled, spoiled little brats who want some miracle candidate that ticks all their boxes, and if the Dem candidate doesn’t, they throw a tantrum and refuse to vote. They never realize that digging out of a hole is a multi-step process. Biden-Harris was the START, Harris was, at best, a bridge, and we only needed to have her in place to continue repairs from Trump’s FIRST term. Now he’s back and wrecking shit in record time.
10 million. 10. Million of them sat out this election, and they’re suffering for it. I can’t say I have empathy, they brought it on themselves, but I feel awful for their innocent family members or kids who couldn’t vote or who voted blue, despite the pushback. I’m the perfect location, sex, orientation, and race that affords me protection from their harassment, but the economy tanking will hurt us all. I can weather the storm for decades with my current wealth, can they?

u/neverendingchalupas 1d ago
Republicans threw the election, Democrats would have won if it was a legitimate election.
That said all Harris had to do to win despite the election tampering was say she didnt agree with Bidens blind support of Israel, pick someone other than Tim Walz, and address the economy. These are not difficult objectives.
Another issue is that the Supreme Court ruling of the Colorado ballot case basically invalidates Trumps presidency. If a state cant rule on the qualifications of a candidate for federal office, a state cant rule on the qualifications of a voter for a federal election.
Trumps entire administration needs to be removed from office, and we need to have another election thats in line with the US Supreme Courts decision.

u/Estrald 1d ago
I mean, it all sounds nice when you say “they should face consequences for breaking rules!”, but we don’t live in that world any longer. They figured it out, just do whatever and you can get away with it, especially as the SC is stuffed with whack job conservatives. The highest decision making body in the land is bought and paid for, precedent and laws no longer matter.
The fact that Harris isn’t Trump is ALL it should have taken to win this election, I don’t care what else picky children wanted. You had one job, ONE JOB, and it was to stop that lunatic from coming back. 10 million plus of them decided to say “Screw that, it’s not exactly what I want, so the country can burn for all I care!” Well now they got what they wanted, so grats to them getting their wish. Oh, they lost their job? Can’t keep up with bills now? Lost their stock options or 401k? AND Palestine is getting pounded worse while Trump plans to clear them out too? Sucks to suck I guess! I don’t have the empathy in me to care about the mess they got themselves into!

All she had to do was ask for recounts in the battleground states. She would have looked like a hypocrite doing so after 4 years of her opponent claiming that elections were rigged, but only she could have asked, and since she didn't, the truth will never really be known.
I believe that Republicans have been flipping votes like this since Karl Rove lost his shit on fox back in 2008. Dems only "win" when they beat the cheat, and if Republicans cheat by too much then it becomes obvious.
That's why Trump pushed so hard that 2020 was rigged. He cheated and still lost, because they didn't cheat by enough.

All posts and comments that include any variation of the word retarded will be removed, but no action will be taken against your account unless it is an excessive personal attack. Please resubmit your post or comment without the bullying language.
Do not edit it, the bot cant tell if you edited, you will just have to make a new comment replying to the same thing.
Yes, this comment itself does use the word. Any reasonable person should be able to understand that we are not insulting anyone with this comment. We wanted to use quotes, but that fucks up the automod and we are too lazy to google escape characters. Notice how none of our automod replies have contractions in them either.
But seriously, calling someone retarded is only socially acceptable because the people affected are less able to understand that they are being insulted, and less likely to be able to respond appropriately. It is a conversational wimpy little shit move, because everyone who uses it knows that it is offensive, but there will be no repercussions. At least the people throwing around other slurs know that they are going to get fired and get their asses beat when they use those words.
Also, it is not creative. It pretty much outs you as a thirteen year old when you use it. Instead of calling Biden retarded, you should call him a cartoon-ass-lookin trust fund goon who smiles like rich father just gifted him a new Buick in 1956. Instead of calling Mitch McConnell retarded, you should call him a Dilbert-ass goon who has been left in the sun a little too long.

The way people describe it, Sanders won the popular vote and then was robbed by nefarious forces.
The thing that annoys me is that people think they are fighting capitalists in the Trump party and then get frustrated when their tactics don't work against mercantilists. It's going to be a hard habit to break as we transition from a mixed economy to mercantilism in the next 18 months.

She was a weak candidate and obviously the better candidate, but the Democrats especially her and Biden are partially to blame for Trump even having a shot.
She fucked up by not breaking more away from deeply unpopular Biden, she fucked up by moving her politics to the right, by campaigning on having Cheneys endorsement and more.
If she wasn't so uninspiring the Democrats might have won and prevented all of this, and as much as the Democratic establishment doesn't want to hear it, it is up to them to earn peoples vote, including those of the base.

Democratic presidents have, on the whole, been excellent. No major crimes (watergate, iran/contra, Iraq war, Trump's catalog). No economic disasters at all (Great Depression, Savings and Loan collapse, Mortgage meltdown, Trump's impending disaster).
But that's not enough for conservative voters. Conservative voters want one thing:

lol - I have been following her nepotistic career path from the slick Willie days - she has been sub-par in ALL of these roles. As DA, she was reasonably qualified but made questionable calls and I think was a terrible DA. Her nepotism/political ambition have carried her without proper qualification to an office she has no business holding: what are her ethics/positions? They have waffled to gain position. She had some laudable success as CA AG but her overall record is not impressive. Political ambition alone is NOT what are country needs.

Thank god we avoided that! None of that going on now.

She literally doesn't hold an office right now?

u/les-be-into-girls 13h ago
Ok Delulu McGee, time to work on your reading comprehension.
She absolutely does support the genocide. That is completely independent of the current genocidal president.
I voted 3rd party in a state where I knew Harris would win by a landslide. I convinced a friend in a battleground state to vote for Harris instead of for a 3rd party. Guess what? Harris won my state in a landslide and lost in my friend’s state. My vote didn’t matter and neither did my friend’s. I knew she would win my state regardless of who I voted for and I was right so I regret nothing.
I would have preferred it if she was president over the current clown. It’s beyond me why you’re wasting your time berating people like me when OVER SEVENTY MILLION PEOPLE VOTED FOR A FASCIST. DO YOU SERIOUSLY THINK YOUR TIME IS BETTER SPENT BERATING SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY PUTS CRITICAL THOUGHT INTO HOW POLITICS WORKS WHEN YOU DO NOT EVEN DO THAT YOURSELF????

Omg is this going to be some shit we have to put up with. I voted for Harris but I don’t need this shit.
She was the better choice, clearly, over Trump. But she sucks, she kept people in jail and withheld evidence in her time as a DA. And you can’t be a “successful” DA without sending a ton of people to jail, mostly for-profit jails too.
We deserve a real option, but when the choice is “or death” Harris was an easy choice.

No, Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi were right all along that she couldn’t win. They wanted a mini primary and that’s what should have happened.
However, IMO, replacing a black woman, who was the sitting VP to boot, could not be done without the risk of losing a large chunk of democratic voters. Who were they? The ones who cried misogyny and racism after she lost, instead of admitting that maybe she was just not ready for the moment.
Lots of people, maybe millions, rejected being force fed a candidate and then branded a racist or misogynist for not swallowing the BS.
Next time, run a better candidate and maybe throw a little shade at Joe Biden too for screwing the whole thing up in the first place by lying about running for only one term.
Get your 💩together Democrats.

u/Demonweed 1d ago
They were both horribly wrong. What is it with people who think Trump being an imbecile magically makes a totally different person into a decent human being?!? Ethics doesn't work that way at all. It is pure mental malfunction to take one person's defects, flip them 180º, then apply those traits to a strikingly similar source of word salad very much engaged in the same pursuit of selling out our nation to corporate special interests. In her defense you might argue she could do a better job at orchestrating mass deportations while funding and arming ethnic cleansers abroad, but why do you want anyone engaged in these evils?!?

Are you explaining how people could possibly believe the confirmation of one person's enthusiasm for war crimes magically proves a different person is hostile to war crimes. That is a classic example of a false dichotomy after all. Heck, one really needs to wallow in cesspit of logical fallacies to be remotely comfortable with partisan talking points. This is absolutely true whether we are talking about the blue-flavored Kool-Aid or the red-flavored Kool-Aid.

What sort of CIA sock puppet doesn't think war crimes have been a fixture of Oval Office duties since the Viet Nam Era?!? That said, only willful denial gets anyone to the point of honestly believing the Biden-Netanyahu collaborations do not qualify as the worst sort of war crimes. The are just as awful with Trump ponying up the taxpayer money and 'Murican munitions. Yet that is zero excuse for pretending a different source was less evil in performing precisely the same role.

I shouldn't be ashamed that I stepped in another pile of blue-no-matter who. These sorts of stains are everywhere online nowadays. Next thing you're going to tell me Liz Cheney is an American hero and Iraq really needs to be bombed, but only when the right scumbags are in office to give those orders. Of course I can't prove anything to such a hardcore denialist like yourself. For anyone who is not eager to regurgitate bizarre claims that go far beyond even the most unhinged partisan talking points, establishing that Kamala Harris campaigned as an enthusiastic supporter of our Iron Triangle as well as its ongoing and aspirational misadventures is not even the slightest bit controversial.

well she wasn't right about supporting genocide, and she wasn't right about abandoning their initial strategy of hitting the republicans as weird and stupid.

She didn't support genocide, but Trump sure as shit does.

u/flargenhargen 19h ago edited 19h ago
that's really dumb. really dumb.
saying "well this genocide is more bad than that one, you should've supported the other genocide supporting candidate" is an absolutely stupid take.
Not understanding that voting for ANYONE who supports genocide isn't something a lot of people would do is pretty fucking basic.
your logic is like saying they should choose to hire a rapist as director of a women's shelter because the other guy raped twice as many women. It's not ok, and it's not a real choice.

Ya cuz what America needs is more of the same two party bullshit.
For god sakes what will it take for people to vote third parties again if not for Genocide or global environmental collapse? Before the 1870’s it was the norm for the dominant parties to be shuffled out by a third party win. Indeed it was the weirdos and dummies who choose to stick it out with the stairs quo parties that ended up being on the wrong side of history. By the way that last part is still the case…

What a bunch of nonsense. She had a real economic plan based on Biden's success and supported by real economists.
Trump ignored the advice of both conservative and liberal economists. He went with his gut and failed, as he has done so many times in the past.
Why are you flinging "bothsides" monkey shit? This is clearly a case of right and wrong.

The whole Kamala told you so is so stupid because no b{%}h we told you so! She couldn’t even step away from aiding genocide or calling Israel out at a time when her base is massively against it. She campaigned with a war criminal family amd was trying to win conservative votes instead of mobilizing her base and btw her own internal polling never showed her ahead and btw when Biden stuck in the race his internal polling showed a 400 point loss to Don!

The blue maga is such cope and self projection. They are the ones who literally are not convinced by facts or reasoning. Its just pure dogmatic ideology, and their stubborn ignorance is what actually hurts them. I should clarify that I'm talking about far leftists like ones who don't even believe in the electoral process.
I just want strong unions and a strong working class so everyone can benefit from their labor, and not be taken advantage of by employers. I want regulated markets with government agencies to weed out unethical business practices and large corporations paying more taxes. But yet I'm not progressive enough because I don't want police departments defunded and gun rights infringed.

I know, I know.
But you're not going to get what you want, if you keep attacking other left wingers.
You got down voted because you said "leftists" to attack people instead of realising, maybe you not having a fascist government might just be a little bit more important than someone being mean because you didn't agree on gun rights.
Also, everything you said was bullshit anyway you gaslighting hypocrite.
But that's by the by, enjoy your fascist government.

You really can't reason with people, even so-called 'progressives'. They'll blame Kamala before they'll blame themselves for not voting, or voting for Jill Stein, or whatever. They have that in common with MAGA, no sense of personal accountability. They would turn away a fire brigade for not being progressive enough and let the house burn with everyone inside, because they think that's what principles are. Education has failed them, obviously.
