The electorate gets the government it deserves.
Thank you for your service. Be safe.
Your privilege is showing.
I hope it was Harris. My comments were directed toward people shitting on Harris. Women in politics are held to a higher standard than men. So I’m glad we agree on that. Be well.
As a strong progressive I will always vote for the most liberal candidate in the primary. And in the general election I will again vote for the candidate with the most liberal credentials who stands a chance at getting elected.
This post was about shitting on Harris as a candidate. Dem governors and all the other issues you mention are irrelevant to Harris v. Trump. We’ll all be long dead before there is a presidential candidate who meets your criteria of worthiness of being bestowed with your vote.
You’re projecting.
Tell me how trans people are better off under Trump than Harris. I think they are worse off. I care about trans’ rights and all civil rights. Many issues were on the ballot any anyone who didn’t support Harris threw us all under the bus.
The US electorate is not as progressive as I wish it was. But if we can’t unite behind the first black/asian woman who has a good moderate record, we will continue to loose rights as Republicans take them away.
And Trump has kicked all trans people of of every single military and security position for cause. They will loose all benefits. Anyone who sincerely cared for all civil rights voted for Harris.
I fully support trans’ rights. And the only party that has ever secured any civil rights for anyone is the Dem party. They are far from perfect. But it achieves nothing to continue to dump on the 1st black/asian woman who nearly became president. Harris would have moved LGBTQ+ rights forward.
If you don’t think things would be better right now under a Harris presidency then you are privileged.
Please show me a single civil right that wasn’t passed without support from moderate democrats.
Trans’ rights weren’t the only issue the ballot. Trans people are losing many, many more rights because of Trump’s election. A whole generation of rights have been lost as a result of Harris’ loss. Harris would have been a good president, not perfect, but good in comparison to all the others.
You mean the rights gained under moderate Dem. administrations that have been lost as a result of Harris’ defeat?
Tell that to black women. bsky.app/profile/sjjp...
It’s a privilege to choose the horror of another Trump term over the many imperfections of a Democratic presidency. Generations of civil rights have been lost already. The only progressive gains in the USA have been under imperfect moderate Dem. administrations.
Your privilege is showing.
Trump and MAGA did this.
How does CBS not mention the recent affairs Ernst had will military officers in conflict with their duties?
Is that a red squirrel in North America?
"The grand jury’s rejection of the felony charge was a remarkable failure by the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington and the second time in recent days that a majority of grand jurors refused to vote to indict a person accused of felony assault on a federal agent." www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...

Congratulations, yours gave us Trump.
Time to recognize that not voting for Harris was mostly based on racism and misogyny.
I’ll engage in debate, friendly or otherwise, until the name calling and insults start.
Republicans have Fox News and OAN doing their propaganda. Tough to compete with that.
Well done. My comments were directed at those who didn’t.
All of this is on you. Gaza wasn’t the only issue in the ballot. bsky.app/profile/jame...
All Palestinians will be removed from the region before your approach even makes a dent in the tragedy unfolding.
Your actions have made the genocide worse. Own it.
I’m blaming individuals who use the same misogynistic arguments against Harris that Trump supporters did. There is no Dem leadership, only individuals wholly responsible for their votes in elections.
Blame “Dem leaders” all you want when they are elected to office. Good luck with that approach towards Trump and his MAGA cult.
You are projecting.
Yeah, we heard that line when they didn’t vote for Carter because they said he was as bad as Reagan, and Gore was as bad as Bush and Clinton was as bad as Trump. Those people are the nihilists for not voting for the candidate who will do the most good and least harm. Own your actions.
*wouldn’t
Are you describing Trump and Republican MAGA? I’m talking about the reality on the ground that things would be better right now if Harris were president, and I blame those who would vote for her and then pressure her to do better in office.
Tell me how Trump’s election over Harris hasn’t helped a single person who isn’t a rich GOP donor. Gaza wasn’t the only issue on the ballot, and Gaza is much worse off now. So you don’t care about them.
You're projecting.
Doing less harm is the more moral choice. That's what electing Harris was, and she would have done lots of positive things, as well. Here's a meme for you.
It’s clear that the main goal of the Maxwell interview was to get her to say that she didn’t see Trump do anything wrong. Which can only mean that there is something in the files that suggests that he did. Why else would she need to say that? The interview is more incriminating, not less.
Is "the party" in the room with you right now? The election was a binary choice: Trump or Harris. I accept responsibility for the flaws and terrible actions of the Biden/Harris admin. But they did much more good than Trump has. I don't think nihilism means what you think it does.
Your misogyny is showing when you blame Harris for the actions of Israel and Biden. And your privilege is also showing when you don't care whether Trump or Harris is president. The situation in Gaza has only gotten worse under Trump, that's on those who didn't help elect Harris.
You are projecting. A large portion of Harris' support came from people that support Palestine and oppose Israel. Only be electing her could she have been pushed to make meaningful change for Gazans. A nihilist is the one who thinks Harris is as bad as Trump, or that nothing matters.
While I agree that Harris may have been wrong in all of those instances, do you not believe that Trump is worse than Harris on every single issue? What does Trump's election achieve for someone like you?
This could have been avoided if Harris was elected. Never forget who refused to support the black/asian women when she ran for president.
Gaza wasn't the only issue on the ballot. Everyone who refused to vote for Harris is responsible for the loss of 60 years of civil rights. We will never forget who is responsible. I accept responsibility for the negative actions Biden/Harris took. But that was the best outcome.
I blame Biden and Harris for their terrible actions while in office and for their support of Israel. But to think that things couldn't be worse in Gaza under a Trump administration is an ignorant position to hold. And Gaza wasn't the only important issue on the ballot. Trump is doing more harm.
What’s happening right now in Gaza shall haunt the conscious of everyone who didn’t vote for Harris.
back in 96 a former nixon aide and rupert murdoch launched fox news because they wanted a platform for gop propaganda. in 2025 the democratic party is writing opeds on that platform and promoting links to that oped on twitter, another platform owned by a right wing propagandist. no lessons learned
On the left: Nate Cavanagh, a 28-year-old DOGE staffer and college dropout. On the right: Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar. This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media. Then the Taliban took his family. 🧵
I wonder if Bolton's refusal to testify at the first impeachment is on Bolton's mind at the moment. I bet he thinks better of that cop-out now.
Trump will destroy Washington DC, both literally and figuratively.
Please understand, there are no good Supreme Court justices. Some are worse than others, but none of them are good. They serve an institution that is profoundly bad for democracy--and, it turns out, bad if you want to live in a country that is even minimally decent.
Trump has blood on his hands.
Trump did that.
Trump is commuting financial fraud from inside the White House.
I guess this is kind of a live concern; say Trump is not able to fuck with elections and democrats win big but republicans, at his direction, refuse to seat at least some of the democrats. I know Powell v McCormack limits the chambers’ abilities to do this, but we trust SCOTUS would uphold it?
Gaza wasn’t the only important issue on the ballot. If Trump fixed that terrible situation, supporting him or opposing Harris might be reasonable. But it was clear Palestinians and every other issue would be worse off under Trump. That is not conscionable.
Anyone who didn’t vote for Harris shall always share the blame for Trump’s reign of terror.
Did the Log Cabin Republicans write this article?
Civil War 2.0 has ALREADY started.
Let’s call this the Tinder-effect. Those men who moved left learned not to shaft women if they wanted a better dating life. Unfortunately, some women may have learned the opposite lesson.
We really need a word to describe that irritating phenomenon where you compose a post that is grammatically right and clear in its meaning, and the split second that you hit send, the platform swaps out a correct word for something nonsensical, making you look like a dumbass
These criminal actions shall be placed on the shoulders of everyone who didn’t vote for Harris.
South Carolina forces picking up from their attack Fort Sumter www.npr.org/2025/08/17/n...
Name one existing legislative civil right that wasn’t supported by moderate Democrats. The far left has thrown away decades of progress by not supporting Harris and Clinton.
It’s not about any particular party. It’s about the reality of putting the candidate in office who will do the most good/least damage. Harris was that person. Stomp your feet all you like, but those who didn’t vote for Harris are responsible for Trump.
Not voting for Harris didn’t make anything better for Gaza, Trump’s election has made it far worse. I accept responsibility of the negative actions of Biden/Harris. Anyone who didn’t vote Harris is responsible for Trump.
Gaza wasn’t the only issue on the ballot. Anyone why didn’t vote for Harris is responsible for everything Trump does.
The electorate gets the government it deserves. Harris would have been great compared to Trump. Her campaign was fine, but she was attacked from left and right. Bigotry was her downfall.
The far left has thrown away a generation of progress for the civil rights movement. Their lack of support for Dems have given the US the worst presidents in a hundred years. The moderate Dem policies are better than what the Reps have to offer.
Yes, exactly the point. So which side is wrong?
Mamdani supported those on the left who refused to vote for Harris. Those people are responsible for Trump as much as his own voters are.
Where was that unity for Harris. Mamdani will be a great mayor, but pretty rich to hear this now.
the left did their part during Biden's presidency - they weren't the ones gumming up the works, everything that didn't pass was because of Manchin or Sinema now, in the face of open fascism, a little party solidarity is the absolute least they should expect
Someone forgot to take down this webpage: www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/v...
Unpacking! Go to 35 seats on the Court, and if Sotomayor wants to clutch pearls about some crazy principle of retroactivity, apply the term limits to the 26 new judges. Also, we are going to have to deal with Katsas and Rao, the 5th circuit, that 9th circuit panel— it's not just SCOTUS

Choosing not to vote for Harris was a badge of privilege for some people.
Start doing this for every professor registered as a Republican.
I’m sorry but I really have to stand up for myself and independent media here. Everyone is crediting Ken Delanian for the Maxwell sex offender waiver story, but I was hours ahead of him. Hours. Independent media is important.
It just keeps coming… CBS uncovered a mystery third person caught on jailhouse cameras the night Epstein died. Not named. Not mentioned in the DOJ report. Spotted near his cell just after 4 a.m., two hours before he was found dead. Why now? Somebody wants this out.
It's time for academics to seriously consider collectively organizing a boycott of institutions that cave to the Trump Administration and surrender their academic freedom while imperiling everyone else's. No visits. No publications. No tenure letters. No lectures.
You are feeding the stereotype that Democrats are responsible for everything that goes wrong in this country, when it’s actually Republicans who do the damage to benefit the rich.
The “deal” that Brown made with the Trump admin is much more extreme than is being reported. It includes government oversight of course evaluations and no barrier to government interference in faculty hiring. Read it for yourself here: www.brown.edu/sites/defaul...
Brown's faculty senate should consider abolishing course evals, if they're just going to be used as fodder for witch hunts against vulnerable faculty.
"He can either give us a license... or we’ll smash the fucking window out and drag him out.” That's not just any ICE officer saying that. His name is Matthew Elliston and he now oversees ICE field operations on the East Coast.
Normal people don’t know what you’re referring to.
liars.
It’s like the conservatives who move from NYC to Florida. They come to discover FL sucks, is too hot, high property taxes, terrible traffic and they are loathed as carpet baggers.
For some reason conservatives mostly move to Austin, where many of the liberals live. Conservatives secretly lust for liberals.
Everyone who didn’t vote for Harris is responsible for Trump and his all his atrocities to come. I accept responsibility for the negative aspects of Biden, Obama and Clinton. But they were night and day better than the suffering even more people suffer under every Republican.
All the conservatives who move to Texas, choose Austin, the most liberal city in the the state, which provides the metropolitan conveniences associated with the left and big government.
