Who GAF. If Americans didn't want a Trump dictatorship, the 10 million who voted for Biden in 2020 and didn't bother to vote in 2024 should have fucking shown up and voted for Harris - in spite of blaming her for Gaza, or not liking that she used to be a prosecutor and therefore theoretically MUST have sent innocent black guys to prison, or being sick of no good choices, or whatever their half-assed reason was for doing nothing. At this point Biden can have Seal Team Six take out Santa Claus for all I care.

Kamala had every chance to appeal to those voters, define herself as a candidate, and provide answers for our economy, which at the end of the day is the one thing that really matters to voters. Instead, she pretended everything was fine, adopted narratives from the right and allowed them to posture like they have all the solutions, so she could look like an incompetent and feckless alternative to Republicans for people that were never going to vote for a Democrat anyways.

As a result, she very predictably failed to mobilize her own base. That is not the fault of the american public, and all of you scratched liberal vote shaming "democracy protectors" were never going outflank such an abysmal national campaign.

The Democrats are okay with bleeding voters and losing elections to fascists if the alternative is to challenge the power of capital, and the time has come to reckon with the fact that they are nothing but another obstacle in the fight for the people of this country.

I'm sorry but the fact that people are so outraged with Biden for doing this is exactly why Kamala lost.

Trump and the Democrats are held to completely different standards. Trump is willing to fight dirty to win at all costs, and that's why he won. It sucks to hear but it's true.

Democrats are also willing to fight dirty to win at all cost. They just did

You are confused what winning means for them. It is not forgiving student loan or raising minimum wage.

You're absolutely right that they dont fight dirty enough. Hiwever, I'd say that Democrats lost largely because Kamala was too cowardly to distance herself from biden and his awful policies. She lost because she chose to court moderate Republicans (who gave her the finger and voted for the fascist. Big surprise!).

Biden pardoning his loser son does nothing for the most marginalized folks who will have to deal with Trump's fascist regime in the coming year. It's not a good look that the only time Biden "fights dirty" is to serve his own interests.

If everyone who comments here emailed Joe Biden with suggestions as to how he could use his newly-expanded powers to help deserving people in America (or influenced by America) it would probably not make a difference, but there's a non-zero possibility he'd actually do some of it.

Trump already did this with Kushmer's daddy. Old news.
