I just saw some leftist idiot falsely claiming that Kamala Harris flew over important swing states. No. No, we’re not doing this again. She worked her heart out traveling to all those states. If you have problems with the Black woman who ran for POTUS, that’s on you. But we’re not rewriting facts.
Trump didn’t win, he cheated. No one looked, no one is looking.
What's with the "leftist idiot" thing? Is the implication that being leftist can only be done by idiots? Because that's what it reads like.
No, it’s calling the person who made the claim an idiot leftist. And yes, there are a ton of idiot leftists who will try to blame Harris for losing the election. These people nearly always do so out of a need to deflect blame from either themselves or others.
Harris is ultimately responsible for losing the election. That's how elections work.
Last time I checked, elections aren’t just a candidate declaring “I lose!” and then handing the reins of power to their opponent. People vote. Harris wasn’t forcing people on the left not to vote. They made a conscious choice to do nothing to prevent a white supremacist fascist from taking power.
So you think there's 2,000,00 leftists in the US and they're the only ones who sat out the 2024?
I genuinely want you to tell me what material outcome people thought would come out of letting Republicans win to “teach Democrats a lesson” about Gaza. What did they expect the GOP to do with Gaza?
I don't think that's what happened.
Even if, somehow, every single one of the Democrats bar Rashida Tlaib stopped being Zionists, I want you to tell me how that would even matter after two years of Trump policy on Gaza. It’s not going to exist in two years. Any leftist who didn’t vote for Harris helped make that happen.
So are leftists a massive voting block in the US or fringe?
Anyone who watched Harris’s campaign could tell you this. She spoke with everyone from the Undecided movement to people on Fox News. My parents, who have MPPs and one of whom was a policy director for a 2020 Democrat, have said her campaign “was the tightest they’ve ever seen.”
"Talking to" isn't enough. You're so close to realizing the flaws in her strategy.
She literally promised a ceasefire, which, mind you, she achieved. You tell me where you can find any other elected official in Congress besides Rashida Tlaib who isn’t a Zionist.
I didn't say anything about Zionism...
And it's incredible she did all of this in just 100 or so days, while still being Vice President!
Fumbled the ball?
My personal opinion is that during Biden's Presidency, they didn't do enough to build her up, promote her, and establish her as an awesome Vice President with a great relationship with Biden like during Obama's term.Then they tried so hard to make us like her during her candidacy so it felt fake.
VP Harris didn't have the strong loyal supporters that Trump has, thus leading to this.
I think there's something to that but that's still just showing the failures of the Harris campaign and the Democratic Party as a whole. But another thing that makes people feel like Harris, and the Dems generally are disingenuous is the way they keep moving to the right. They chase "moderates".
Also the people not realizing that we’re in this situation because of Mitch McConnell. It wouldn’t have mattered how much Harris campaigned or if Biden has stepped down and allowed a primary. As long as Trump could run again there was a chance of him winning.
Hate saying it, but I think you're spot on. We are aware of how monstrous this country is now.
What a dumb lie. I live in Wisconsin, and she was here A LOT.
Yeah this one doesn’t connect. There ARE legitimate critiques of Harris campaign strategy, but not paying enough attention wasn’t one of them. She didn’t assume she’d win, she didn’t call battleground states her firewall as if they were safe.
It had nothing to do with how many campaign stops she made. Biden failed. He told his base to F Off. He wanted bipartisanship more than justice. He should have let us have a primary by clarifying he was serving one term. She should have had two years and a primary process to give us a choice.
Who are his base? I want to hear demographic groups. Bc I can tell you that unions shifted left, college-educated people shifted left, and Black and Jewish people came out in massive numbers. THAT is the Democratic base lol.
And he fucked them all. Especially young people. His antiquated focus was on bipartisanship with people who want us dead. Everything he did has been erased. 90 days gone. His one job was to see that Trump and his cult were arrested to let the courts sort. He failed utterly.
And Trump’s cult were arrested. Two family friends oversaw their sentencing. They were convicted. Trump would not be president were it not for the Supreme Court ruling in Trump v. United States. He would be ruled as contributing to insurrection, and banned from the ballot.
He had other jobs besides that. You are blaming him for the Supreme Court ruling that Trump could join voter rolls despite being convicted of insurrection. The Supreme Court Trump handpicked, who cannot be pressured by the executive branch to shift rulings.
Welcome to my useless centrists muted accounts list.
Trump was convicted of insurrection. Were it not for the intervention of the Supreme Court, he would not have been on voter rolls. Even had Biden arrested and charged him, he would have been eligible to be on the ballot due to that decision.
Are you a white man? Because, TBH, none of us have any reason to listen to anything any white man says right now. 2/3 of you voted for Trump and here you represent that remaining third, finding a way to blame the Black woman for white people choosing to stay the fuck home. Are you?
I'm an old white woman from Queens and a life long democrat who has held office as a Dem in Jim Jordan's district. I don't recognize my own party. Centrists are the problem. There is no middle. Time to pick a side. Roll the guillotines.
It blows my mind that white people get so mad at the Black, Jewish and female led Democrats for what the white supremacist neo-Confederate Republicans do. It really does indicate how Trump was able to win white people like he did.
That part. It’s apparently Biden’s fault, not the fault of the millions of people who either decided that they would vote for a man who led an insurrection, or who decided it wasn’t enough of a threat to motivate their asses to go to the polls.
Biden failed. He told his base to F Off. He wanted bipartisanship more than justice. Then he fucked the 2024 election. He should have let us have a primary by clarifying he was serving one term. She should have had two years and a primary process to give us a choice.
Who, *exactly,* are you calling “his base?” Because it seemed to me that Black people were ENTHUSIASTIC about supporting him, and they are the demographic that can be depended on to vote for Democrats— *the base.*& So who are you talking about? White people? They’re the base for that other party.
If you're under the impression that black women didn't get fucked for voting for him you are not keeping up. They did too.
??? How did they get fucked???
Omg we don't have bodily autonomy. We're bleeding out in hospital parking lots. Every mom that needed childcare every family that need family leave every person working fir 7.25 and hour. No help at all with the way student loans are structured. That's the refrain in our tiny Dem HQ
Mate, Black women got fucked not for voting for Biden/Harris. Black women got fucked by WHITE PEOPLE who voted for the white supremacist 34 count felon over the qualified, experienced, *Black* woman. It‘s white people, it’s always been white people, and from the sounds of things it always will be.
He fucked everyone who voted for him. Trump now has a military and a treasury. Kamala wasn't even given a decent chance. He had one job. Keep Trump out but that would have made Republicans mad. Centrists like Joe are not on our side.
I agree that Biden should have dropped out earlier. But no one forced voters to vote for a fascist. If we want to change things going forward, the heat should be on them.
I am just as angry with Trump voters. I think really that Trump is a symptom and the people that vote for him are the actual disease.
People have this mistaken view that the white working class is somehow the Democratic base when that hasn’t been the case for over half a century. Union workers are, though. But they voted for Harris by twelve points.
Agree. But Union workers and women and working families and young voters got fucked too. Everyone who campaigned their heart out in tiny offices in red districts got fucked
Bernie has given white people this false idea of a sleeper progressive majority of working class white people a la the New Deal. He and they forget that the New Deal excluded everyone but white folks and the New Deal coalition fell apart due to integration.
Interesting point.
I have an important image to show you
This also may have a little something to do with her loss. youtube.com/shorts/0yMnn...
bsky.app/profile/af68...
It’s like the people who blame Harris for not getting her message out. I mean, sure if you didn’t got to a rally, watch the debate, read her website or watch any of her countless tv interviews
THIS. There were so many people saying “if Harris had promised to raise the minimum wage…” “legalize weed” “addressed the housing crisis.” I had to tell all of them that she PROMISED THOSE THINGS. Their response was either that she didn’t mean them, or democrats failed in messaging. Google is FREE.
Like, I’m sorry, it is the bare fucking minimum, if you want to exist in a democracy, that you vote. Even if you only vote in presidential elections, twenty minutes of research every four years is NOT too much to ask. People genuinely will devote more time to the Rizzler than their democracy.
People are so spoon fed info that they believe that, if they don’t see evidence, it simply doesn’t exist. This fails to take into account that social media algorithms limit the spread of political posts. In twitter’s case, they were actively suppressed.
Ironically the media mocked her because she stayed on message saying the same things over and over.

Love the melodrama of american Right wingers "No, no, we're not doing this again" 😂
*proceeds to do it again for clout/dopamine*
like Hillary, she was just a bad choice. get Michelle Obama to run.
@daviddarmofal.bsky.social What is in your Kool~Aid? bsky.app/profile/kama...
Ms. Harris although half Black by Ancestry is Politically just a Privileged White Liberal, so to insinuate that Hate, Race and Misogyny had anything to do with her demise is really just Liberals Lying to Yourselves. #Neoliberals #GenocidalZionists #Corporatists @daviddarmofal.bsky.social
She was a tireless campaigner. I would say that people had problems with a Black woman, but Secretary Clinton is white, so I am leaning more toward misogyny. Either way, two brilliant, experienced candidates lost to an unintelligent, uninformed, immoral man.
She didn't primarily focus on the white suburbs while parading around with a white Republican woman? Oh. Our bad.
So yeah… your bad. I guess we can have a debate on the MAGA Alcatraz work camp and you can show us how a pointless protest vote was better than living on watery porridge and Steve Bannon re-education videos as the execute my neighbors the Hernandez family from Bakersfield..
The fact that your ugly country and culture produced an ugly leader is not my problem. I haven't been in the US for ages. You support a d supported the status quo, and Trump is what it gave you. That's a YOU problem. Maybe if you weren't so naive, eh?
You think the rise in fascism isn’t a global phenomenon pushed by multi national corporations? You think Le Pen, Farange, Orban, Pollivere, Maroni, etc happened in a vacuum?
I thought that decades ago. I've moved on. Where were you though? Voting for it? Ah, of course you were.
I’ve fought more Nazi skinheads in the streets than I can count. I’ve been shot at, stabbed more than once, and had a few beer bottles broken over my head. Keep posting on social media and holding signs. It’s really helping.
Uh huh... funny, I've got the same story. You're probably full of shit!
I was fighting Hammerskins in the streets of Atlanta when you were still shitting in your Pampers.
Uh huh. . . I grew up with a number of SHARPs, and they don't walk around talking bogus shit the way you do. You're merely high on the thought of what you would have done if given the chance. Well, you have a chance. Stop squawkin and start actin.
Roflmao… Which group of skinheads were you scrapping with? Name them. You don’t know because it never fucking happened. I used to scrap with ATL Hammerskins and New Socialist Youth of Georgia. Back when what you call Antifa was the ARA in the punk scene. You “know some SHARPS”.. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂 Gtfoh
You mean the areas where elections are won and lost? The shitty Republican woman parade was to try and peel Republican votes. Maybe you are naive or just new to our flawed political system? I wish we had the Star Trek gay space communism, but these are the cards we been dealt. Now we have Trump 2.0
Lost being the operative word lol. You're stating the obvious. That was not in question. It was clearly rhetorical.
Democrats eat their own and lose elections, Republicans don't do this.
Indeed 💯
She and Walz came to NC many times!
Thank you! 🙏
I agree.
She's not black, you know. She's half Tamil and her father (whose family owned slaves) claimed his race as "Jamaican" on her birth certificate. Judging by the way she speaks, she's more Céline Dion than anything.
How is “she’s not black” a thing? How many people in the world now are anything other than a cocktail of DNA? Almost everyone is a little bit o this and a little bit o that.
What makes Kamala black? Her quantum of blood? By that standard, Obama is just as white as he's black. The very concept of race is a fiction, a "social construct", exploited just as much by trumpychumpies who want to be 100% white as by Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker. There's only one human race.
You started w she’s not black. You tell me. I don’t care. She is more qualified, more experienced, more intelligent, more stable than the clown America elected. How she looks doesn’t mean shit to me, although, she is also much more attractive than the fat old felon in the oval now.
You're more than welcome to like her if you wish. As for me, the lesser of two evils is still evil. She is a corporatist who has violated civil rights in California and has practiced genocide in DC.
She’s better in every way than that fat clown there now. Neither her or Biden were my pick, but they got my vote anyway, cause Trump is evil and needs to be put to pasture
Enough shit throwing. Kamala won the election in a landslide but was cheated bigtime by Putin and Musk. She's aware of the election manipulation. It is premature to assume anything about her actions or lack of.
Then why did she not fight it?
I'm hearing she was betrayed. Watch Anonymous?
She didn't say a single word about voting irregularities. There was no investigation. If she new it was stolen, as you say, why didn't she so much as say a single word about it?
Threats?
What?
The Senate candidates that lost in swing states didn't fight either.
I don't know. Good question though. Why doesn't any democrat fight?

Identity politics, you guys put that shit on everything. Don't worry about material conditions, no one cares about that.
What conflict isn't about identity?
Class warfare, the biggest war of all?
A political conflict in the west is about class
If "class" were the basis, there would never have been such a thing as redlining. I was also alive at a time when women, regardless of means, couldn't open their own bank accounts.
The mechanics of a system imposed on us by the wealthy who make these decisions to which the rest of us are subject to.
Decisions steeped in heterogeneous intent, transcending consideration of wealth. Oprah still endures racism and sexism.
Oprah is living pretty good. A famous person with haters, that's unheard of. The wealthy do tend to be pretty racist and discriminatory. Which is reflected in the policies they have implemented on their behalf.
Then embrace identity politics, since it pisses off the wealthy. Convince rural white people to be more critical of the racist, sexist, homophobic garbage the rich are feeding them and you further your class goals.
Identity still is embedded in who gets to become wealthy.. and stay wealthy. Can't really deny the murica fuck yeah ideal. Alabama is poor as shit but the state govt still targeted their black communities and stole their funds. I get the rally for unity under class but it's not the whole picture.
If your born poor, it doesn't matter who you are, your gonna be treated as poor, everything else is secondary. And if your wealthy enough, doesn't really matter what you do, too rich to fail is the regime we're living under.
I’m just wondering how you identified the person as a ‘leftist idiot’, when stupid Americans and Nazis vastly outnumber actual leftists in the USFA? I watch Americans defining leftism & equating Socialism, Stalinism, Nazism, Communism. They hate socialism but can’t recognise fascism. Fing clueless!
I mean if someone on Bluesky is criticizing Democrats for running a poor campaign, it's much more likely that they're a leftist rather than a Nazi
The rhetoric of disinformation. Americans have no understanding of what the left is. Unpacking your statement, you’re saying that critique of democrats makes people idiots but it’s the unthinking acquiescence to Trump that is bringing Fascism to America. The contradiction leaves no place for social
or humanitarian policies (socialism is a dirty word in the USA), so what that leaves you with is the right and the hard right. The reason Trump won the election was demonstrably gerrymander and voter suppression - not dumb lefties but a political process facilitated by republicans and democrats that
Respectively advantaged their parties. They rely on that to win elections rather than ideology, performance, integrity because elections are a sales pitch and the only thing politicians seek (mostly) is to win. With language condemning the left in the way you’ve used it, there can be no left that
isn’t unthinking, stupid, naïveté and so your average American graduates to supporting a punishing authoritarianism and graduates to voting for fascism, that embodies all of their ambient level bigotries and racism. America needs to stop being led by disinformation
talking points and find its heart because it’s not looking good for the USA currently. In fact Putin has pawned the country using your myopias against you.
The system is gamed. From the electoral college to the poverty and race divisions of electoral boundaries including mail in vote suppression. Politicians (largely) aren’t being elected on ethical policies but on what they ‘sell’ voters for their sponsors.
they did the same thing to hrc. still whining that no one wants their old loser.
She couldn't go door to door to 100 million houses in 110 days? Amateur... /s
Oh please the reneger in chief, she's not the 1, she's a sellout 2corp oligarch. She didn't even have her own platform bec her elite oligarchs didn't want her 2push 4holding corps accountable 4 price gouging, or supt med4all, & refused 2b brave &challenge the Biden admin elites policies on genocide
Brilliant satire, well done! 😂

youtu.be/C4lXwZIhG6E?... The head of the port of LA warning of economic collapse... This is who the magas voted 4,the GDP has shrank by 1/3. No shipments of goods being delivered bec of DT& his sycophant tariff debacle. I'm still in awe there r still trump supporters supporting a criminal.
