It’s true.
Democrats are fucking stupid. The voters told you what they wanted, and it was affordability and no more WMD’s for Israel, and Dems concluded it was too much to ask. Of course people didn’t want to fucking vote for you.
dems keep losing because they rather suckle on AIPAC’S limp dick than serve their constituents.
This is stupid people who didn’t like Kamala because the was a genocide enabler weren’t saying vote Trump wtf.
And anyway shit’s over. This finger wagging told-ya-so bullshit is less than worthless. It’s abundantly clear you can still lose to the worst person alive if people don’t like you… So maybe force the Dems to run someone decent or make the Dems disappear. You’re not gonna shame the electorate into the lesser of two evils crap, how have you not seen this yet? Regardless of how logical you think it is or how right you think you are. I think it’s clear it’s not working.
I just think the worse thing now is seeing the current lineup of candidates for 2028… shes still there and so are a bunch of others im pretty sure nobody wants.
Duverger’s law, the way the elections are winner takes all makes it mathematically certain there are only two viable options. It’s basic math which people failed at.
You also have to include the swing states having a highly disproportionate amount of voting power, the wealthy having a disproportionate amount of influence, and the electoral college making small farm states election makers
I know many Muslims in Michigan that voted for Trump because Kamala supported Israel…
In the neo-liberal brain and rhetoric that’s how they have to argue to get you to swallow the poison of the “lesser evil.”
Dude could actually nuke Iran and kill millions and dumb assholes online still wouldn’t concede that he is and was obviously the worse evil.
Acting like Harris is an ally for queer people and isn’t an imperialist is genuinely out of touch with reality. I get you want to blame people because the “worse” white supremacist was elected, but narratives like this will be used by the Democratic Party to continue the fascism if and when the Republicans lose power. Gavin Newsom isn’t intentionally abandoning pro-queer performative politics for nothing.
My handler said it was my turn to post “whatabout kamala” post today.
😡😡😡
You forgot the swastika and the pedobear under Trump.
Can we get the fuck over this pointless nonsense, consign her to history, and do something about what’s happening now, please?
if anyone can, join the dems and vote in the primaries to make sure no AIPAC candidate survives.
probably the most important and meaningful things any American can do.
also do so for Republicans if you’re racistly inclined
No, we’re going to spend every day from now through the next presidential primary bashing nonexistent, Trump-supporting leftists because that’s how you build your electoral base 🙄
Don’t forget the sternly worded letters. REVOLUTION, but peacefully. :|
Yeah can we all just forget about the world’s stupidest voters and that the propagandists successfully convinced people to commit the most brain dead self-own in the history of humanity? All we have to do now is the simple task of destroying the world’s most powerful evil cunts who could’ve easily been denied power if people’s brains were operating at even 15% capacity.
Get on it, America! You’ve got the guns!
Ah, liberal wokescolding first thing in the morning
Yes, thank you for opening our eyes, none of us knew this, even though we all held our nose and voted for the woman who was suddenly thrust on us as it became apparent that Joe Biden couldn’t win, who herself was winning UNTIL she said we’ll have the most lethal military and who cozied up to Sarah Longwell and fucking Liz Cheney and spent time chasing Republican votes and basically promising nothing to anyone from the moderates to the left
You fucking Overton shit shovelers are insufferable.
Hey you know what we might not have had climate change if Al Gore had gotten elected in 2000. Why aren’t we doing more hanging-chad memes?
Does this help?
Ah “I am exactly the thing you posted” first thing in the morning
You failed the trolly problem.
the US system is broken, this is what happens when there is only two choices 🥲
So you have an average normal politician running against literally Hitler. And people vote for literally Hitler.
And you don’t think the problem is the people voting for literally Hitler?
Don’t get me wrong, the US voting system is also bad. But that is really, really not the main problem here…
IMO the bigger problem is that the “average normal politician” managed to be so bad that voters didn’t feel motivated to vote against Hitler.
This should have been a slam dunk - and there were literally a number of easy ways to motivate voters, like promising to stop the ongoing genocide the country is funding. But when given the choice between “letting Hitler win” and “stopping the genocide”, Harris and the entire DNC leadership chose to let Hitler win.
Isn’t that deeply fucked up?
It was a slam dunk. I still know trump supporters who think everything negative said about him is a lie. Why did this never happen in human history before (an unrelenting smear campaign running for over a decade against an innocent man)? Meh I dunno something about woke.
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. Harris’s win obviously wasn’t a slam dunk, she lost.
Israels actions now do qualify as genocide - because Trump told Bibi to do whatever. But didn’t actually qualify as genocide back when Biden was President.
Remember that the current Gaza crisis started when Gaza did a genocide against Israel, on October 7. Israel certainly had a legal right to enter Gaza, to get their hostages back.
your whole comment is provably false. claming the attack on the 7. was a genocide is laughably false.
do not forget that Israel has made gaza a concentration camp long before that time.
claming the attack on the 7. was a genocide is laughably false.
I linked a source (Well, a wiki article which itself link sources). You spew bullshit.
you linked the wikipedia article. it’s allegations. if you had read it you would first notice that the allegations are about “intent” and genocide. As the power imbalance is laughably.
The empire long called the rebellion murderes with genocidal intent. When the rebellion hit what they could, the empire killed their own to avoid hostages. The empire then told all that the rebels had murdered babies and made up other lies to make the rebels look bad.
it’s allegations.
So are the current allegations against Israel, right?
To be more than allegations, there would have to be a ICC judgement in either case, I think?
As the power imbalance is laughably.
Just because you are laughably weak, it does not mean you can’t do evil.
A wiki page listing people who have called it a genocide doesn’t exactly prove that it was one, and regardless the israelis have long been oppressing the people in gaza, including illegally capturing land by force for many years, so them striking back would be less a genocide and more an act of war, a warcrime in this instance as they largely attacked civillians, but so does israel which is why both the leader of hamas and israel are wanted war criminals
It’s like saying the slave revolts in ancient rome were genocides because the slaves were attacking romans, who else were they supposed to attack? And could you really blame them for striking back at their oppressors?
Ideally it would have been resolved peacefully but the international community turned a blind eye to what was happening, and israel sure as hell wasn’t about to stop out of the kindness of their heart
“Gaza did a genocide in Israel” is actually fucking insane.
That is not how it started shut the fuuuck up.
Yeah, I agree. If this can ever happen all you can really say is that us culture is cancer.
Yes but more importantly this is what happens when people are so ignorant and uneducated that someone like Trump makes it past a humiliating response to a social media post about him considering a run for president. Then he is a horrible president, killing thousands of citizens through negligence, commits an insurrection, and voters are like “I dunno he’s not that bad. He’s male at least”
More importantly, he should have been charged for all the crimes he did in his first term. Shouldn’t have even been able to run from his prison cell, or at least not between all the court cases he’d need to be worrying about.
It really is a fundamentally broken system.
Oh boy can’t wait to rehash this braindead take again tomorrow. I swear guys she only lost to DT because you weren’t locked in
I feel like you’re leaving some negatives off from the Kamala side. Namely that she’s a corporatist liberal and was a prosecutor. IMO both of those are important details that shouldn’t be left off. Trump is a once in a lifetime evil, but she’s no saint either. The problem is we must cast away these billionaire serving candidates.
- there was significant male-supremacism vote against Harris
- there was significant white-supremacism vote against Harris
- Biden fucked her campaigning opportunity over, & wouldn’t leave until Pelosi threatened to nuke his campaign, personally
- Harris backed Netanyahu, hard-line.
It wasn’t just her backing Netanyahu.
https://lemmy.world/post/44104254 argues convincingly that Netanyahu’s got a significant number of Democrats controlled through “kompromat”, ie blackmail.
It hadn’t dawned on me, until just now, that … maybe Harris is, too?
or AIPAC got to her, don’t know…
Whatever.
It’s too late, now: I expect Trump to kill US democracy soon, & then elections won’t matter anymore, federally, at least…
Then the US’s equivalent-to-zionism will be on full display, with Trump’s “Greater North America”, and annexing of Canada & Greenland, war on Central & South America, & Civil War Part2 ( which ICE is currently training for, obviously )…
Soon…

Is that a pedo flag? I’m nervous to try checking with a search engine…
Funny laugh?
Both stewards of the same system. Neither will cease our descent into the abyss.
e for replies: I won’t apologize for hating on a country that threatened to invade mine, and I hate you for defending it. Kamala is not any less of a steward of the same system. She will also facilitate the killing of children in the middle-east. Fuck em. Pick up a gun and do something about it or shut the fuck up. You don’t get to be smug when all you do is pretend to be a lefty on the internet.
But only one is actively encouraging it.
He’s not “encouraging” it. He’s speedrunning it.
Would you prefer to die slowly, or fast? You will die in pain either way.
Fuck that accelerationist nonsense.
You have to slow before you can reverse.
You think you’re making a clever point, but I would very much prefer to die slowly.
That’s to say nothing for the fact that going slowly provides a chance for a cure to be developed.
“The country should just die quickly” actually manages to be a worse sales pitch than “The less bad choice.”
I’m not asking you to vote for either of them! I’m telling you that the system they built together while pretending to be on opposite sides is killing you. At least Trump is so fucking stupid that he’s made it obvious to people without political insight. Unfortunately, Americans are still not gonna pick up their guns and do something about it, so I propose they just let it happen, then. Let it get worse, so it can get better. Let the system destroy itself so you can build a new one instead of dragging it out.
I like how you frame this as if “slowly” isn’t objectively the sane and correct answer.
