They ran against a racist pedo rapist who we KNOW for certain lead a coup, and committed treason by attacking the US Capitol, killing US Capitol police. He’s a felon. And they LOST. And now a fucking Nazi traitor is rolling tanks in DC. Gaza? Are you genuinely searching for reasons?
“They” who?
Yeah, this has been confusing me,
Guy says he works for Barbara Lee? I don't think Mayor Lee would sanction this BS.
We know the reasons.
It wasn't Gaza. Because allowing him to win sent the ppl of Gaza down the darkest path. Voting for her wld have been ceasefire, negotiations, 2 state solution. So Gaza, for many, was an excuse. The actual reason was racism, misogyny, bigotry. You all just thought fascism wldn't affect you.
Seriously. Gaza? He failed us. Failed to block INSANELY unqualified candidates. RFK is shutting down US public health. The Texas National Guard is about to invade Illinois? Peter Theil downloaded every single piece of federal data. FEMA is shut down and funding camps. Gaza???
Who's he? The GOP has enough seats to confirm anyone Trump nominates without 1 Democratic vote. There hasn't been 1 confirmation vote where more than 3 GOP senators voted no, so how exactly could Democrats prevent any of Trump's nominees from being confirmed? Do you not understand math or civics?
“He”, who?
Racism is a hell of a drug and white people are highly addicted. Let's be real white voters in the US knew he was a felon, knew he was behind January 6th but they didn't care because he was appealing to them because he would put "those people" in their place.
This. 100%. Always, ALWAYS remind people that MAGAs sold out their country because the most important thing to them is their bigotry. They all should go live in Russia; they're real big on bigotry over there too.
That part! “Harris lost” is faugressive-speak to mask not voting. They clearly understood the risks that Drumpf posed. Project 2025, etc. Many “progressives”thought RFK, Jr. was a “better” candidate.🤦🏽♀️ They bought into disinfo ops re: Gaza, to put down multicultural democracy and won’t admit to it.
Absofuckinglutely
What was the disinfo?
Exactly. They always assign blame to the candidate when the fact remains that voters decide elections. And you can be faced with a cardboard cutout as a candidate
but if the other candidate is a racist, raping, traitor, criminal, "I will be a dictator on day 1" and hate-monger, you don't vote in a way that enables that.
Did you just wake up or something? Where you been? www.freep.com/story/news/p...
47 is less than 53, Chris. You fail math.
Don't get mad at others just because you don't understand US government or basic math.
Schumer. You fucking think Chuck Schumer is going to lead us out of this? Seriously?
It took us four fucking years just to call him a fucking liar on TV? Tanks are rolling in our streets. Stay the course? We need new leaders.
What's a majority of 100, Chris?
(Crickets)
Guess what, Chris. 66% of male voters chose Trump. It's time to ask men why they preferred an Insurrectionist Birther pedophile to a competent woman.
The reason is because voters are cowards who have been coddled by Democrats who protected them from themselves for too long. Voters decided to reward Trump and the GOP for being racist and anti LGBTQ+ with power and now they're all confused when the actual marginalized people don't trust them.
Who decides elections kid?
Voters failed us all. It was the easiest election choice ever. But white people didn't want to vote for progress if it was being done by a smart Black woman.
It was clearly not as simple as you think. "Genocide" vs "genocide, but faster" is not an extremely obvious choice to many people, it turns out, and they said so loudly and often, and that one single thing was clearly beyond the grasp of core policy wonks at the DNC.
It's easy to mock the concept of "single-issue voters" but when the issue is "what would you have done if you are seeing the crimes of Nazi Germany laid bare", the issue becomes WAY MORE IMPORTANT, and if you can't see that, I don't know what the fuck to tell you.
Anyone with a intact critical thinking skills KNEW Donnie would be terrible, but Harris would be willing to work with people on issues. She wanted a ceasefire, said so again and again, LGBTQIA+ people would have been better off, everyone would have, with President Harris. ICE wouldn't be kidnapping
people, no one would be deported to a country they are not from, Autistic people wouldn't be worrying, things would be better for the whole country. If you're going to be disingenuous, youd better understand why people won't take you seriously.
I probably would have listened to the Jewish people. 🤔 Palestinians in Gaza warm to Kamala Harris, prefer 'anyone over Trump' - AL-Monitor: The Middle Eastʼs leading independent news source since 2012 share.google/exFpTNW6s7vc...
Meanwhile the Dearborn Arabs didn't bother to listen: www.politico.com/news/2024/11...
For the sake of argument let's say there is a "slow genocide" in Gaza. What did you do? Helped elect a fascist in the US so that: * Gaza may turn into a fast genocide * led to concentration camps in the US * rolled back women, minority, LGBTQ rights * ... Your reaction? "I have a clear conscience."
I'm curious if your reaction is different, given you didn't seem to want to make the effort to move the needle away from genocide, for some reason. Do *you* feel that *you* have a clear conscience, having voted *for* a genocide and your efforts only ever resulted in a faster one than you voted for?
There was a robust ceasefire in place when Joe Biden left office. Knock it the fuck off.
I voted for Harris, i.e. I voted * Against: -genocide * For: -Coexistence of Jews & Palestinians in 2 neighboring states -Rights of women, minorities, LGBTQ, immigrants in the US -Support for Ukrainians against genocide -... Is my conscience clear? Not completely: obviously I didn't do enough.
So Kamala made a statement acknowledging what was happening was a genocide and that she would work to stop Israel from bombing hospitals, blocking aid workers, killing journalists, and other miscellaneous war crimes? Damn, I am sorry I missed that, got a link? It would really show me how wrong I am.
Harris did not acknowledge that it was a genocide because it was not. She worked on solving the conflict. But let's get back on topic: Your support for a "fast genocide", concentration camps in the US, denial of rights to everyone but white "humanitarians" like yourself. Some "clear conscience".
I am worried my nails will get ripped out, my eyelids ripped off, my skin flayed from my body. I didn't want to vote for Harris if it meant blowing a child's arm's off. You did. My conscience is clear you piece of fucking shit.
You're telling yourself a story because you don't actually care about Gazans, who begged you to select Harris. You just don't want to accept blame.
And yet, somehow, I still looked at a mutilated child and thought "wow I can't go into a voting booth and say 'yes, more of this, please".
But let's get back on topic: I have been trying to prepare my family for the concept that at some point soon I'll get "disappeared", and while that'll (if I'm lucky) be an interesting footnote as part of a statistic in a future "textbook", I am not really looking forward to it.
If Harris refused to acknowledge the sky was blue, I have a feeling you'd be trying to tell me it is a constant pink with yellow highlights at noon.
Well, I voted for HER!
To be fair this same shit happened in 2016. Women (white) voted for Trump and refused to give Hillsry their support even after the pussy tape.
Yep!
Interesting turnout stats here. bsky.app/profile/leta...
They're the descendants of white people who would rather fill in community pools with concrete so nobody can enjoy them than see Black people enjoy the community pool alongside of them.
We know why. Bigots.
