Brother she ain't running no more. What are you fucking talking about?
People not voting for her is why we're where we are today.
Or maybe the fact that killing innocent children in Gaza was more important to her than winning the election is why we're here today.
Every single candidate who could have won was pro-Israel. That's the default position of the US government regardless of which party's in power. It's NOT the default position to randomly genocide, say, Iran, though. It is BS that you have to vote for more genocide support or less genocide support? Yes. But voting for more genocide support or not voting at all so the ones that support more genocide win worked out really well, huh?
So you're saying the default position was to lose the election. She made the conscious decision to not want to win. All I'm hearing. There's a pathway to win she chose to do the opposite.
You realize that presidential candidates also have to take international relations into account, right?
So breaking from Israel to win an election may not play out great with Israel after being elected. That goes for any of our allies.
But hey, we got a felon rapist pedophile that lets Israel tell him to do whatever they want him to do. So I guess that worked out for us, right?
If Israel wants it, then it is the default position. If you don't think Harris would have bombed Iran, then I have a bridge to sell you
Nah. We're here because braindead Americans can't accept that they aren't going to get a perfect candidate and are willing to burn their nation to the ground in retaliation for that.
Adults make the right decision, even if it isn't perfect. Adults don't need a candidate to be perfect in order to do what's right for their nation and themselves.
Perfect is really doing some heavy lifting. Sure shes better. I would have voted for her if i was an US-American. But shes still garbage. She kind of is controlled opposition. Making us look away from what would be actually good vs whats better than the worst option. It serves to legitimize their position in fear of the alternative. Thats not democracy. I am not saying that you should not vote, endorse or even accept the shitstain we get in the USA that is represented by Trump but running to the Democrats as the goal or seeing voting as the primary political action is a big blunder in my eyes. (again do vote).
You simpletons keep confusing "perfect" with "the bare fucking minimum"
If only Harris had been an adult and made the right decision to try to win the election instead of sacrificing it because killing brown people was more important to her.
You make it sound like democracy was a mistake
lololol you think this is democracy? Its not. The vast majority of both parties dont support the actions of the elected representitives. The US runs on bribes and rich people's wishes and has for a long time. Theres a reason law enforcement dont prosecute the rich, even when they are caught raping kids on an industrial scale.
I agree and that's why I am not the one pretending voting is the reason for the system we have. People who blame voters will end up concluding that democracy is a mistake.
I mean it kinda was but that's a much more complicated topic
Kamala losing is like part 250 of a 250 part shitshow that started with Reagan and that is why we're here. You're just conscious enough to be around for this latest bit and aren't taught the previous ones in school, makes ya think?
Goes back much further than Regan but the bastard did exacerbate things.
I mean I could just say the assassination of franz ferdinand and probably be right lol
Damn didn’t know people standing up to genocide are the reason we are still letting Israel genocide people. TIL.
The people who "stood up" to genocide allowed the ones who genocide MORE into power. Good job!
Oh so you can never hold anybody to a higher standard since there’s always someone worse out there. Interesting. Must be miserable always settling in life.
You can indeed! But voting in the horribly broken US system is about harm reduction.
Alright well, enjoy voting for Gavin Newsom I guess. Crazy the election is 2 years away and we are already talking about “harm reduction”. Hope the DNC paycheck is worth it.
Gavin Newsom will support genocide and be anti-trans, each lesser evil is a slow step towards evil.
Just like Biden, voting in Harris would have been harm reduction in the short term, and harm multiplication in the long term. She would have continued to do nothing to address the treason that Republicans committed, and she would have done nothing to mitigate the terror that the next Republican president would bring. The only way voting for conservative Democrats is harm reduction is if no Republican ever wins an election again, and Republicans are going to win some elections.
The biggest difference if Harris had won is that Republicans would win in 2028, and they would have a competent fascist in the Oval Office. We need democrats who will fight Republicans, not just delay them.
Literally no one said that. You're saying that to try to make your point stand, which it doesn't.
Sure is. Now they're in power and things really aren't going well.
It's called being an adult. A big part of being an adult is damage control. Welcome to reality, it's far from perfect and sometimes you have to choose the path of least destruction.
Is there any point at which you think we should draw the line in supporting our own party, even if the other party is still worse?
Yes, but by that point both would be so ridiculously evil that there's nothing left to do but burn the whole thing down.
If genocide isn't that line for you, then what is?
High gas prices obviously
We have already reached that point for a while now.
I mean for a lot of us that certainly seems to be the way we see it already. We're just waiting for the rest of you to catch up.
What an utterly simplistic and reactionary statement.
Is it wrong?
Yes.
Your reluctance to explain suggests otherwise
Praise Allah for killing the petro dollar though
Genocide is non negotiable. If you think it is, I hope you're prepared to defend your property when the fascists comes to take it for themselves like they're doing in the West Bank.
Shame too many people are willfully ignorant to the blood on their hands.
Isn't she considering running next elections?
I mean I seriously doubt it, but maybe if she wants to try to grift some more money she will. She certainly wouldn't be the first. However she has no chance in hell of winning a primary much less an election. So I doubt it'll be a serious, or seriously funded, campaign
