Democrats are now hallucinating Harris supporting a ceasefire in Gaza

Harris Doesn’t Support Arms Embargo on Israel, a Top Adviser Says

It's not their platform was weak. It's that they are weak. They hold their tongue while their opponents are jerking off in their face. They mind their Ps & Qs while someone holds a gun to a child's head somewhere in America. They govern "responsibly" while half the government is on fire. There is no sense of urgency, there is no sense of reality, there is no sense they actually giving a fuck.

It's easy to stand up there at the podium and wane intellectual about filling the sky with stars and ask us all to "keep fighting" but where was your fight? How did you lose to this with everything on the line?

Why would we fight for a bunch of fish to be thrown on land so we can sit there and watch them flop around drowning in a political environment that is killing them?

Yes, the lesser evil lost to the greater one again, and they and their diehard supporters insist on learning nothing.

"vote for a ceasefire" is the ceasefire in the room with us now? Because I'm not surprised people DIDNT vote for someone who was the fucking president but refused to pressure to end a war because it could be used as leverage in an election campaign.

Straight up Reddit tier cope from liberals this last week. If you wanted to win don't turn away 15 million people from your base to pander to a bunch of MAGA voters who were always picking trump regardless. Absolute fucking morons.

People forget that nationwide elections are ordinarily determined by infrequent voters to begin with.

It wasn't high-propensity voters voting for trump, third party, or abstaining, it was ordinary non-political americans who didn't see a point in voting for a status-quo center-right candidate.

People have been screaming at democrats since at least 2008 that they need more progressive, more radical policies, and they've repeatedly avoided addressing those concerns. Trump ran in 2016 as a moderate. He came out on the left of fucking hillary clinton on the war in Iraq and interventionism. She lost to trump because he maneuvered to the left of her, and democrats still have not fucking learned.

Democrats need to let go of their moderate progenitors and re-build their base from the bottom left. They're leaving millions of voters on the table because they keep hamstringing themselves on a bygone era of popular neoliberalism, and there's nobody left to blame now but the party itself.

People didn't turn out much more than they changed their vote.

Their platform was weak.

They ran an old man with brain damage for most of the campaign.

His replacement spent two months of campaign time telling poverty wage workers to be joyful and didn't even put a platform on their website until a few weeks before the election. Watching that felt very tone deaf and condescending.

The other meme they repeated was how weird Trump and Vance are, as if they didn't already objectively know the voters don't care about that.

They didn't run a good campaign.

The people are tired of the Dems presenting them with weak bullshit solutions to their very real problems and being told to get on board because the alternative is worse. The cost of living in America is drowning the middle class and the Dems keep throwing us water wings.

I don't agree that Trump's policies are the answer but I can understand desperate people looking anywhere for some relief.

this voting system is stupid as f@%k though: as a voter, you should be able to sort your candidates as per your preference, not chose pick one and only one

Weak platform my ass. Half of the US population is simply too brainwashed to even comprehend what Kamala offered them.

The ceasefire in Gaza was always bullshit and it was obviously bullshit.

This is why abandoning the "grocery store" strategy for "trump said naughty words" was a huge mistake.

The most consequential issue for voters this past election was the economy. People are feeling inflation, whether that's through food prices, rent prices, or all of the above.

Harris didn't campaign to that. Instead, she catered to families with children - a diminishing subsect of society - and small businesses. Yes she advocated for a first time home subsidy, but no young person believes they'll truly have enough money to own a home in their lifetime.

Harris ignored the working class. And so they ignored her. Plain and simple. A political party has to fix its constituents' problems, or at least lie about it. She did neither.

Stop making this about voters.

I know I will probably get downvoted but:

1. This is not a comic strip
2. Political content on non-politics community

Me: About to buy my first home.

Also me: Trump is going to be president??? Fuuuuuuck. May as well just light this big pile of money on fire!

Aw hell......doesn't matter anyways. Pennies don't melt......

So when will the Democratic Party unveil it's grand plan to actually RESIST all this fascism?

Does anyone have a schedule, perhaps?

2008- Popular vote (D) 69,498,516 vs. [R] 59,948,323
2012- Popular vote (D) 65,915,795 vs. [R] 60,933,504
2016- Popular vote (D) 65,853,514 vs. [R] 62,984,828
2020- Popular vote (D) 81,283,501 vs. [R] 74,223,975
2024- Popular vote (D) 68,092,002 vs. [R] 72,747,033

Trump lost some voters. Kamala lost WAY more voters. Find out why 15 million voters overall didn't vote. Or more particularly, find out why all those voters came out in 2020 and not in 2016 or 2024.

The problem wasn't Harris or her platform, it was that more than half of American voters are fucking idiots. Massive public stupidity is a problem no politician and no platform can cure. We've spent more than half a century addicting ourselves to entertainment and convenience. We need everything presented to us in memes now. America collectively has shit for brains, so we're going to have a sack of shit for President. Congrats y'all.

I won't vote for who supports genocide. Trump may not be better in this regard but at least I won't reward to those who already aided in it. Next time they should learn to do better.
