MODERATORS
I voted for Harris, but she did a fuck of a lot trying to convince me not to.
"I arrested people for smoking pot" "I'm an ex cop" "No, I'm not going to do much about the genocide." "Here's Liz Cheney" "Trans rights aren't important."
It's not really a fucking mystery why she lost.
It genuinely is. It's unimaginable to me that people could be so stupid.
I literally posted a list of reasons why people didn't vote for Harris.
Running on "I'm not Trump" while also campaigning on a moderate Republican platform, is why she lost. If the election was so important, why didn't she run on electable, popular policies?
It's the DNCs own fault for failing to put out a candidate or campaign that could beat donald trump, world renowned loser and hitler wannabe.
Uh huh. Which of those were "she wants to be a dictator"? Because that's what she was literally running against. And that's what people didn't fight hard enough against.
I see you're a patron of the church of willfull ignorance.
So you don't think the US would be in a better position at all with Harris as president then?
As if you really care about what position the US is in. You just want to win elections and dont give a shit what happens after. This post is about a guy snatched up off the street and sent to a foreign gulag, yet you haven't uttered a single statement in support of this guy and instead derailed the entire discussion toward your team-sport politics and how upset you are that your team wasn't the winning team, how it's everyone else's fault the team didn't win, how people are stupid for not supporting your team, etc. That's all you care about.
Nothing I said could possibly be construed to mean that, in any way remotely resembling good faith.
So then it would have been better to vote for Harris then.
Then I'm not talking about you.
Except your first and only contribution was a question that contributed fuck all.
Well, did you get anything out of your pyrrhic victory?
