all she had to do was run left
Imagine being so privileged that you can say something like this with a straight face. This is why democrats need to loudly and forcibly reject leftists.
I voted for Kamala. Lots of leftists voted for her. People should be allowed to criticize politicians even if they voted for them. Right now, blue and red politicians are walking all over us. Like always. And still all we do is fight each other. Like always. Feels like Americans will never change.
There's a difference between criticizing a candidate and joining forces with the opposition to actively campaign against the candidate while constantly lying about, insulting, and shitting on them at every single opportunity.
And nobody believes the lie that "many leftists" voted for her after spending the campaign screeching that she's worse than Trump and begging people not to vote.
If you don't want to believe it, that's your prerogative. I can't change whoever you want to be mad at. What did they lie about? Who said she was WORSE than Trump? Why would leftists join forces with the right? How does that make sense to you? Do you not see you're just saying stuff?
You don't want to hear. To hear that we're poor, that we want politicians to stop throwing our families in cages (whether they wear blue or not), that we want someone in power to say "stop supporting a genocide", or even that in spite of it all lots of us vote for dems to TRY and mitigate damage.
You want to blame someone. Anyone. If things stay this way, Americans will never come together. Never fight for each other or change things. The ultimate victory of the US politician is that they've managed to convince us to do nothing but fight each other while they laugh. We cant keep doing this.
I think we have to be very careful not to immediately react by assuming we understand every motive by a single sentence comment. The fact is she didn’t really represent the kind of change that would have energized non-voters.
yes im deeply disturbed about what republicans seem to want but i’m suspicious about accounts that just scream partisan attacks.
Every chance we get we should shun their selfish asses.
Does it hurt to be this stupid? Are you high? She literally said all of this would happen. That main said he was going to do all this. Project 2025 said all this would happen. But you chose your own pathetic little fee-fees for your favorite over democracy.
the only word for them at this point is stupid . In some cases three words: stupid,racist,misogynist
All of those words.
Gurl… They get so defensive when they meet someone that’s not a regressive.
They’re exhausting. As obnoxious (and stupid) as MAGA.
You’re a brand-new account with no pfp or banner, 40 followers and following 50 accounts, and you haven’t even gotten a “joined -date-“ label yet. Fuck off back to twitter with your bullshit.
All YOU had to do was vote for her.
Amen.
All you had to do was pay attention. Next!
It intrigues me when a person rather stupidly reveals they didn't read the platform. And doesn't care about other ppl.
Oh please.
She was the leftmost candidate of the two possible choices. Your perfect pony wasn’t on the general election ballot. Your specific perfect pony might not EVER be on the general election ballot. Please wise up about how this works.
You are absolutely delusional. Get out of your weird leftist-progressive bubble. For starters, she was already the most left, most progressive candidate since at least LBJ. Second, the most common comment from people who didn't vote for her was that she was "too far left". Y'all are crazy.
All you had to do was vote.
What kind of political simpleton is still spouting nonsense like that?
She did, but you are a low-information, right-wing propaganda-gobbling, lazy dim-wit who couldn't be bothered to take second to google what she was actually saying, doing, or proposing. You're a propaganda-spreading fascist collaborator.
All you had to do was be quiet.
Gurl… He’s on here crying about free and fair elections and l just have to laugh at him. Dafuq is wrong with these people?
Dunning Kruger strikes again
I wonder the % of times Dunning Kruger is comorbid with white. Bet it’s a LOT.
Venn Diagram definitely close to a circle
Not enough attention from daddy.
She chose not to meet her voters where they were, and it sucks because that decision got us here. Impeach Remove Campaign for it Campaign on it.
She who? Bc you’re not talking about Harris. Her outreach is well documented. Might want to ask chat gpt that before coming on here bc we’re here to tear you up now. It’s not going to be fun here like it was before the occupations & vote stealing. Might want to take that mess back over to Twitter.
All she had to do was actively oppose a filthy genocide instead of being a party to it.
Just coulda voted the way Palestinians wanted us to. But the Temu keffiyeh wearers knew better than Palestinians what was best for them, right? Most ineffective, destructive, protest movement in modern history. No protest now than Trump's in power. Chickens. www.al-monitor.com/originals/20...
What a load of bollox
Tell me Linda, how's trump treating Gaza right now? How'd that work out for them? Are they getting the help they need because people didn't like her stance nor give her time to change her opinion but want to blame her? What version of trump winning ever works out better for Gaza? Stupid ass.
Go f*** yourself genocide apologist scum.
You didn't answer the question, how's trump working out for Gaza? don't side step with the name calling as a distraction. Is. Gaza. better now since you chose to throw the baby out with the bathwater like a moron? I'm a Jew that supports Palestine, but I can see the forest from the trees & know how
I’m amazed you’re still willing to say this publicly with Trump openly embracing ethnic cleansing and canceling humanitarian visas for dying Palestinians. Does your shamelessness come naturally or do you have to work at it?
Some people have ideas and some only strong opinions
Some people can admit they made a mistake and some people can’t
If you voted for genocidal Harris you made a mistake. Though that is being generous. You voted for continuing genocide, occupation and ethnic cleansing. Harris had no intention of stopping arms sales, sucking up to nazi Israel or stopping the land theft in West Bank. She...was...actively...complicit
Show us a post of yours about Gaza before 10/7.
And all you have to do is stop running your mouth at Black women.
She did but you had your head so far up your ass that the shit in your ears prevented you from hearing her.
Your simple ass is part of the problem. Marinate on that and fix your shit. None of the communities you screwed over are in the mood for your bs.
That’s right. I wish I could like this comment twice. I’m tired of people like that.
He's anti-Hillary, too. 🙄
Of course he is.
Racist AND misogynist. Wheee!
Like peas and carrots, you almost always find them in twos.
Good
these dumb ass mother fuckers are going to be the first ones crying for help when we’re rationing our food & water. They need to stop posting and start preparing.
No, it was the same 16% of Hillary supporters that couldn't get behind the black man for president in 2008 that did this. Same fucking elite democrat racists. Progressives knew the mission. Those rich dems still get Trumps tax cuts.
it’s a valid point
No, no it’s not.
Trolls don't make valid points.
I’m sure you think it is, but y’all can stop with this rhetoric. Everyone knew how bad a Trump presidency would be, so the issue isn’t how far left would Harris go, but how much fascism you were willing to live with, marginalized communities be damned.
No. It’s not. You’re just an idiot who is too stupid to realize how uneducated you sound. Every policy Harris had was progressive.
Is this your second account that you use to bolster the crap you write with your other account?
Having a vote and withholding it takes your one bit of leverage out of the game. CONSTITUENTS HAVE LEVERAGE. Nonvoters are treated like the antidemocratic idiots they are.
They will never accept that they failed. The Dems ran a terrible campaign after having run a terrible administration. The Dems refuse to support the workingclass. The GOP won't either but voters can't be expected to keep voting for failure. Unfortunately they chose nihilism this time
The most progressive administration since LBJ was a "terrible administration"? I hope you're 12.
Maybe not 12 but certainly stopped reading at that age. It’d be nice if these folks gave us a little list of where they are getting their information because they certainly aren’t using legitimate sources.
Material conditions for the workingclass got worse. Wages relative to housing, food, and energy all declined. Infrastructure crumbled, health and quality of life eroded. ...and im not the one hurling grade school insults.
What does that have to with the fact that Biden and all those other Presidents didn't address the problems crippling the country? Its not a new problem. The past 40 years of neoliberalism have been increasingly brutal. So brutal that voters are choosing nihilism over cynicism.
Literally everything you criticize Dems on are things Dems tried to pass but were blocked or overturned by republicans (because you don’t know how our government works or what harm reduction is), so try again.
Dems have had rock solid majorities multiple times in the past few decades and they accomplished little to nothing. They have solid majorities at the state level in many places and have accomplished little to nothing. They are beholden to their wealthy corporate donors not the voters.
No -- you are choosing to let bits and bytes of disinformation on social media platforms melt your brain
So things are good and people aren't struggling? Glad you solved that. Maybe you should continue to insult and berate anyone that tells you they are struggling. That will win you votes.
so, like, what happened 40 yrs ago? "Trickle-down" was just a euphemism for re-segregation. The Welfare Queen trope didn't happen by accident.
Ok, Americans are irredeemably terrible and racist. You convinced me. There is no reason to try, or improve, or even vote. Oh right, half the country doesn't vote. I wonder why they have no hope?
Again. Just showing how politically illiterate you are. Grow up. Start reading. Get informed. www.americanprogressaction.org/article/8-wa...
Continuing with the childish insults. You're right, everything was great and people shouldn't have complained. They were stupid little babies to complain and they should have been grateful for the trickledown scraps. Thats how you win elections, calling struggling people names.
You are the only one namecalling here because when you don’t have the vocabulary to even qualify for the conversation, all you’re left with are insults. You refuse to listen to those correcting you because you don’t even live here so have nothing to lose and have to argue with people for attention.
Nah, It started with the reply "I hope your 12" I've been relatively calm and respectful but I'm not obligated to tolerate personal attacks and I will respond in kind if I choose.
Now, every Bern fan - tell us what laws BERNIE wrote and passed for unions.
OMG, I can't.
Excellent dumb ass comment. Yay you!
All you had to do was show up and vote. But true to you being least reliable demographic in the Democratic Party, you did what we all expected you to do: tantrum & 💩your bed.
i think maybe you’re just here to make people think democrats are rabid ideologues. I actually voted for harris and im in california so i could have voted my ideals.
God forbid Americans ask their politicians to shift their political stance, because it's always the fault of those outside power..
1) Having a vote and withholding it isn’t being out of power. You could have chosen to help stop the fascist dictator seize control, instead you made the choice to let him win. You had power, and you used it.
"Both parties promote complete genocide abroad, but this one will hurt me less, so you're an asshole for withholding your vote cos now the party that won will treat me a little more like how both parties treat people abroad." I know what youre saying.. I still think voters aren't to blame..
2) The left has been demanding the Democrats become a labor party before they’ll vote for them for 50 years and nothing has changed it’s clearly a losing strategy that has made them irrelevant.
So then why are you upset at them when they haven't made any significant impact in the last 50 years.. be happy with the tides turning more right.. maybe that will help..
Name some planks in her platform that weren't left:
