If Harris was a leader she would be out there touring like AOC. Shes not a leader. She had her shot to prove otherwise and didn't.

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 134 points 4 weeks ago

I mean, if I were her I’d feel drained and devastated. Everything that happened during the election and people still picked Trump over her…

[-] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 191 points 4 weeks ago

I have a hard time feeling sorry for her after leaving the left hanging and going after conservative votes. She made an incredibly poor strategic choice and it cost all of us.

Obviously she's not the only one to blame here, conservatives deserving the majority of blame followed by people that stayed home, but she doesn't deserve pity.

[-] aceshigh@lemmy.world 34 points 4 weeks ago

… not to mention she didn’t ask for a recount. That one was a red flag for me.

[-] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 58 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah. I have a lot of problems with Kamala The Cop. But she lost what might be the final election in American History. That takes a lot out of you

[-] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 21 points 3 weeks ago

Not as much as it’s taking out of the rest of us, not even close.

[-] jollyrogue@lemmy.ml 33 points 4 weeks ago

If I were her, I would have had a plan B knowing what the right wingers were up to, and it should have looked a lot like what Bernie and AOC are doing. Instead she showed up then fucked off to somewhere else after hanging out with Dick Cheney for a few months.

[-] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 23 points 4 weeks ago

You feel sorry for that god awful campaign?

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 18 points 3 weeks ago

Exactly why she's not a leader. A leader understand that you don't have time to lick you wounds when the enemy is at your door. She should be fighting harder now, not sulking.

[-] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 15 points 4 weeks ago

They cheated, and we ALL know it. If she's upset about anything, it's that she was cheated out of her historic legacy, and the spineless Democratic party backed HitlerPig over her.

[-] DrDeadCrash@programming.dev 11 points 4 weeks ago

So she should be all recovered by '28 then? /s

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 19 points 4 weeks ago

Is she even considering running at all?

[-] batmaniam@lemmy.world 18 points 4 weeks ago

Usual: If you voted 3rd party or didn't vote, you signed off on our current reality.

But you're not wrong, and I have plenty to disagree with AOC about, but they're all conversations for a better time; done and done.

[-] Bristingr@lemm.ee 19 points 4 weeks ago

Nah, 3rd party voters at least voted. This solely lies on the folks who didn't vote.

[-] piefood@piefed.social 4 points 3 weeks ago

Nope. I voted 3rd party because I didn't want Trump, and I also didn't want Harris. Maybe if Harris had tried campaining on what Americans wanted, rather than trying to win over people who were obviously not going to vote for her, we wouldn't be here.

But she chose genocide, money, and the Cheneys over winning an election against one of the least popular presidents we've ever had.

[-] dota__2@lemmy.world 14 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

the fact you people are still demanding she dance for you after vehemently screaming she's worse than the current state of affairs is wild.

your purity tests are trash.

edit: at least 18 idiots on this dead website, got it.

[-] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 37 points 4 weeks ago

You're talking to someone who was vehemently campaigning for her during the general. She didn't fail any purity test. She failed at having a good strategy, and it was pretty obvious at the time she was making a big gamble. And I articulated this during the election, while telling all the 3rd party voters on lemmy that they were fucking morons.

[-] mutual_ayed@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 weeks ago

Don't waste your time on a troll.

[-] dota__2@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

look at my comment history you fucking idiot. troll? christ, you're a fucking idiot.

[-] mutual_ayed@sh.itjust.works 17 points 4 weeks ago
[-] dota__2@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

imagine being so dumb to think it's bait.

[-] mutual_ayed@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 weeks ago

Keep on trollin that b8

[-] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 13 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Kamala is trash, simple as. She failed horrendously.

[-] aceshigh@lemmy.world 12 points 4 weeks ago

Completely agree. It would have demonstrated that she would have been a good president and it would have sealed the deal for her (if there are legit elections). She didn’t step up. AOC did. Says a lot about each of them.

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I can't imagine thinking about "serving people" when majority of them turned out to be hateful idiots that frankly deserve getting their faces eaten by a leopard. Let her catch a break maybe?

[-] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 6 points 3 weeks ago

The Dipshit didn't even get the majority of people who did vote, let alone the country as a whole

[-] piefood@piefed.social 6 points 3 weeks ago

Nah, I'm not giving her a break. She handed the elction to Trump on a silver platter. It should have been a slam dunk election, but she chose genocide, money, and the Cheney's over winning.

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Ah the good ol american responsibility deflection strategy

[-] piefood@piefed.social 3 points 3 weeks ago

How is accurately describing what happened "deflection"?

[-] kreskin@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

a bad carpenter blames their tools.
