It’s very telling that the best defense of Harris you can muster on this issue is that she wasn’t any worse than trump

That's not a defense. It is another example of why did she HAVE TO do something to win that trump wasn't expected to do, and he won??

“Why should democrats have to put any effort into winning”

Old man, are you seriously asking why a candidate should be expected to win the votes of the people she wanted to vote for her? Senile a-hole.

You seem to need a minute. The question is, why was she expected to do something that the guy who beat her wasn't expected to do? How did trump win the Palestinian vote, when he stopped the cease fire from happening because he wants to build a hotel in Gaza? Riddle me that, angry little person

she wasn't? the thing she was expected to do was "listen to the voters in your base and give them things they want". trump gives his base what they want. what trump's base want is to make the libs suffer.

Trump didn’t “win the Palestinian vote” but you whose vote he did win? old white men

As an "old white guy" this embarrasses me.

starting to think this constant victim blaming of Palestinians is to distract from your own kind’s guilt, you yaKKKubian Devil

Hey, fuckwad, I'm telling you now that I'm not going to vote for a transphobe. You have two options, you senile old piece of garbage: you can nominate a non-transphobe or you can STFU and not expect my vote (or the vote of other trans people). If Newsom gets nominated, he'll deserve to lose.

You seem angry. You have 3 options, sweetie. You can vote D You can vote R Or You can stay home and not vote. 2 of those choices got you trump, who hates you and your friends. Which one did you pick, fuckwad?

dems like newsom also hate her and her friends, you numbskull

Learn to read! I didn't say that Trump did anything. I said that Harris completely failed to get Palestinian votes because of her arrogance. The lesson is that she should have tried to address their concerns. But she didn't!

That's not nice. You said Kamala lost because she didn't do something that trump didn't do either. Why should she have to do it to win, if trump didn't? All he did was lie that he would fix it on day 1. She knew that was impossible, so she didn't lie.

She refused to meet with Palestinian people. The DNC refused to let Palestinians speak at the convention. This was self-inflicted, and you're sitting here hoping they do the same shit in 2028, but to trans people.

You are a bad human being. I'm not voting for a transphobe, and you're going to have to deal with it by either nominating a non-transphobe or not getting my vote. I'm not voting for someone who wants to restrict my rights!

You say this nonsense. Who will you vote for then? Trump wants you dead. He has removed every right from LGBTQ that he can. Did you vote for him? Did you protest vote for someone else that allowed him to win? Who will you vote for next? R or D? It's your only 2 choices

Oh well. We're dead by Republicans or We're dead from Israeli controlled democrat centrists. Who cares? Why aren't you vocally defending us?

"I'm not him" is not a winning platform. It wasn't in 2016 and it wasn't in 2024. Trump won again in part because Biden kept his promise that morning will fundamentally change. Obama won pledging to change things. Trump won the first time pledging to change things. Things need to change.

Trump is certainly changing stuff. He's changing us from a democratic republic to a fascist country. He's destroying everything that was good about this country. He's changing us into Russia. How's that working out? We do need change, but we need democrats to do it, not magats

No, I voted for the centrist garbage candidate Harris who was too chickenshit to defend trans people. I'm never, ever doing that again. Win my vote or STFU.

Who will you vote for in 2026 and 28. 3 choices still. D R Or Stay home and let R win. Your choice. I will never vote R so I will always vote blue no matter who

I'll vote for my congresswoman Delia Ramirez in 2026 because I share her values. In 2028, I hope to vote for a candidate who also shares my values. If you INSIST on nominating someone who wants to take away more of my rights, then no, I'm not voting for them!

Then you are electing a republican, again. There are no perfect candidates, only ones who want to help us and those who only want to help themselves. Too many people chose a protest vote and we ended up where we are today, in a total shitshow. I hope we survive

Again? You realize LGBTQ people voted for Kamala at a higher % than old white folks? I think its you who gave him the win.

and that's exactly why they keep fielding dogshit candidates who lose because people like you promise them your vote no matter what they do or say. your vote is the only leverage you have. don't give it to them for free. ask better of the candidate, don't scold people for wanting better.

When given the choice of trump or anyone else, I will never choose trump. Given the choice between any current Democrat and any current republican, I will pick any Democrat. There are no good Republicans left! There is no choice
