For the record, I voted for her because she wasn’t Trump. As a voter, I didn’t much appreciate being assigned a Democratic candidate instead of given a chance to vote for one. I was even less thrilled about her insistence on cozying up to the likes of Liz Cheney because the DNC arrogantly thought they could court Republicans who didn’t like Trump. Add in her denial that there’s a genocide going on in Palestine or that the average American was economically hurting despite a booming stock market and you could probably see why not many people liked her.
I like that America chose to microscopically analyze and criticize Harris while a felon rapist traitor who shits on our Constitution and tanks our economy waltzed into the Oval Office.
Sounds like you ended up making the right decision, but so many others didn’t. Couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Because America is dumb.
Right, Harris was a good candidate, that’s why her primary campaign lasted all the way to december of 2019.
Yeah man I’m sure Winston Churchill, the drunken failure who lost his own easiest possible post WW2 election to Clement Attlee, is totally not blaming his loss to the voters and not his failure to run a proper public campaign.
Harris was a good candidate
Which is why she willingly chose to ignore millions of constituent demands, and banned an entire Democratic party ethnic base from partaking in the DNC because “fuck you, kiss Israel’s ass lol”.
And that defnitley didn’t backfire at all because voters love being told to eat shit and vote for the lesser evil, especially after not being able to participate in a primary where a candidate people actually wanted could at least be voted on.
spoiler
Seriously the actual stupidity to run a Churchill quote in response to voter demands is astounding, especailly because he got shrekt in 1945.
The bottom line is America isn’t going to jeopardize their allegiance with Israel. They’re our most important ally in the Middle East.
So what you’re really saying is you would have preferred if Democrats lied like Republicans and said during the election that they would put their foot down regarding Israel, only to take that back once elected.
And honestly, I would agree with you. So many dumbasses in this country chose to vote 3rd party or not vote because of the whole Israel/Palestine thing that now a felon rapist traitor who shits on our Constitution and tanks our economy is president. So yeah, I kinda wish Democrats just pulled a Republican move and blatantly lied about their intentions during the election and then walked it all back after winning.
Single issue voters/abstainers make me nauseous. Especially when so much is on the line.
And now we’re learning the hard way.
The bottom line is America isn’t going to jeopardize their allegiance with Israel. They’re our most important ally in the Middle East.
Liberals will never, for an instant, ask themselves why Israel is such an important ally - not even when confronted with a choice between standing behind them literally committing a genocide and allowing a felon rapist take office.
‘We can’t abandon our ally’ is the most lazy lie the state department has ever successfully sold their citizens completely unchallenged right next to ‘we’re looking for WMD’s’
Democrats do lie about their intentions all the time. I saw Biden and Obama’s campaigns, and presidencies.
Harris was actually one of the most honest campaigns that the Democrats have run
Harris represented the Democratic party, but conceded numerous Republican talking points like immigration, highlighted that she was a gun owner, and campaigned with the Cheneys. Kamala refused to take a strong stance on Gaza giving little more than lip service to Palestinians and their supporters, rarely talked about ideas like universal healthcare or wealth inequality, and dismissed the general concerns about the economy.
Voters failed, yes. They failed to turn out and prevent the obvious danger of another Trump presidency or were ignorant enough to vote for him. However, the Democratic leadership also failed. They hid the state of Joe Biden from the public until the last minute. They failed to engage their base and, for the third election in a row, boosted a middling candidate over progressive candidates and then relied on negative campaigni against Trump to provide enough of a turnout.
i felt the israel thing has much less of effect on voters than you think, maybe in Michigan, but both parties wholely support the genocide, so theres not much issue there. its the constant attack by msm on biden and harris throughout the campaign
Every time a progressive candidate has run in a primary they lost. The American public is one Facebook ad away from voting for a face eating Leopard. If they really wanted universal Healthcare they would have voted it by now. Voters failed, the dems run with the candidate that had the most chances of winning. And then the voters failed again. Twice.
When a progressive candidate runs in a primary, the party itself sabotages them. The party leadership and party-favored candidates lie about the policies. The party prioritizes centrists with their funding.
The American public is one Facebook ad away from voting for a face eating Leopard.
In part, yes. I am arguing that you can’t ignore the fact that the democratic party itself paid for that Facebook ad.
obama really broke the minds of conservatives, couldnt accept a half-black, muslim as a president.
I can understand why a German would think a far right cop was a good candidate in general, but no. She was a terrible candidate for anyone not voting republican.
Hey american socialist here.
Harris wasn’t that bad. Y’all are so extremely radicalized you can’t even admit a good candidate when you see one.
None of this shit would’ve happened that’s for sure
ICE was still a fascist organization when Obama and Biden were the head of the regime.
An antiblack cop that couldn’t win a primary is not a good candidate for the party whose voters include most black people and most anti cop people.
She was objectively a bad dem candidate. Like all California Dems she’s more right wing than any other Dem in the country and is only running Dem to pull the party right.
It’s no use. Americans would much rather place blame on a candidate, one that was INFINITELY better than the other, than accept responsibility as an electorate for failing.
Harris was perfectly fine. A successful prosecutor with a doctorate in law. She would have continued a progressive agenda. She would have maintained economic stability. I’m sure it wouldn’t have been as progressive as many would like, but certainly better than our current state of affairs with a president who shits all over our Constitution and is tanking our economy 3 months in.
The bottom line is the American electorate failed an open book test. Too many fools who chose to become single issue voters. Too many fools who thought it would be wise to vote for a 3rd party in a presidential election, despite having literally ZERO chance of winning. Too many fools who abdicated their responsibility as citizens in a democracy because they weren’t pleased with their options. This was one of, if not the easiest, election we’ll ever have in our lives. And we failed. Because we aren’t a very intelligent society.
She ran hard to the right, abandoning all of her previously stated progressive beliefs. She would have continued the shitty economy that Americans were upset with. She said she wouldn’t do anything different than a highly unpopular president.
Of course Americans blame the candidate, as they should. Her entire job was to get elected, opposing one of the least popular presidents we’ve ever had, and she lost. It should have been a slam dunk for her, but she gave all of that up, for money and genocide.
She ran hard to the right
I think you and I have a different definition of “hard right”. If you think Harris was “hard right”, what would you consider our current situation?
She would have continued the shitty economy that Americans were upset with.
I think you and I have a different definition of “shitty economy”. If you thought we had a “shitty economy” under Biden, what would you consider our current situation?
She said she wouldn’t do anything different than a highly unpopular president.
You can listen to dumbasses who thought Biden was some awful president, whose qualifications for believing so are their feelings, or you can do your homework and find out that he was actually a progressive and legislatively successful president who passed some really beneficial bills for the American people.
Have you spoken to an average American? They don’t know jack shit about politics. They don’t keep up with legislation. They don’t pay attention to statistics. And you’re telling me that American’s failure to pay attention, like responsible citizens in a democracy, is a single candidate’s fault? That because she may not have run the best campaign possible that it isn’t American’s fault for allowing an already failed felon rapist traitor to be our leader…again?
Our society is a reflection of our electorate. It sucks because our electorate is largely idiotic. Not because one candidate didn’t run a perfect campaign against a felon rapist.
