I find all of this Monday morning quarterbacking pretty silly. Trump was literally fellating the mic and rambling incoherently a few days before the vote. “Strategy,” hahah. Nothing Kamala’s campaign coulda done was gonna get those 15 million people that chose not to vote, if simply listening to Trump didn’t.
The issue is it is a two party system. The Dems ran a safe but weak campaign while people are pissed off at the world. Trump was a colossal ass who is likely to collapse the free world clowning it up at every chance.
This was a referendum on the status quo, and they got a solid no in favor of tearing it all down.
Accelerationism is a helluva drug. Hey, at least we’ll get unfettered corpo AI, haha.
That or a locked down internet in the US. Was it not from that document that this came from?
“Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned,” the document says. “Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.”
I do think that when harris said stuff like “stop price gouging” fascist media made the mistake of airing her and combatting the point - which is weak sauce on their part. More of that would probably have worked. Less ads about trump unfitness more about reducing grocery costs.
Grocery costs will continue to go up, because climate change has disrupted food production and distribution (among other things.) We could make prices fall artificially, but the actual cost is higher. And anything we do to change that must be paid in more externalities. Americans don’t want to have the hard conversations. We want pleasant half- truths and lies. That’s what we elected.
Or maybe voting against something that you don’t personally like is not a strong strategy for a nationwide election?
Suggesting that there was “nothing” at all she could have done to inspire voters is a cope. And refusal to listen to the reasons people vote the way they do.
No. Y’all did this exact same mental gymnastics routine in '16. We elected a senile con man instead of a qualified woman because America has a deeply rooted misogyny problem. That’s all. Well, that and because pressures from climate change have made people afraid and easier to con.
Right… It’s everyone else that’s the problem that the same tired tactics aren’t working over and over again.
It’s just those darn voters who need to be taught a lesson on how to vote properly. Those people that are hungry and poor just need to listen to what’s good for them and their disagreement is obviously because they are shitty people who hate women.
Great talk. Can’t wait to see all the outpour of support for that now and the 3rd victory in a row for Democrats. Because nothing need change and it’s everyone else that’s doing mental gymnastics.
