    Can we get the fuck over this pointless nonsense, consign her to history, and do something about what’s happening now, please?

    And so, to avoid this from happening again, next time the Democrats are going to propose a candidate that doesn’t have that weak spot, right? RIGHT?

    So if this is why the Democrat candidate failed then the next candidate they put up won’t support Israel since the Democrats will learn from their mistakes? I would like that, but I don’t think it will happen. I think the new candidate will be the same as the old candidate and the Dem’s will have learned nothing. Pro-business, pro-Israel, soft on regulations, soft on Republican lawbreaking, and corrupt as hell.

    Do we really need another butthurt Harris post?

    Of course not many people voted for her, she’s the human equivalent of a damp biscuit.

        Or maybe the fact that killing innocent children in Gaza was more important to her than winning the election is why we’re here today.

          Nah. We’re here because braindead Americans can’t accept that they aren’t going to get a perfect candidate and are willing to burn their nation to the ground in retaliation for that.

          Adults make the right decision, even if it isn’t perfect. Adults don’t need a candidate to be perfect in order to do what’s right for their nation and themselves.

            Perfect is really doing some heavy lifting. Sure shes better. I would have voted for her if i was an US-American. But shes still garbage. She kind of is controlled opposition. Making us look away from what would be actually good vs whats better than the worst option. It serves to legitimize their position in fear of the alternative. Thats not democracy. I am not saying that you should not vote, endorse or even accept the shitstain we get in the USA that is represented by Trump but running to the Democrats as the goal or seeing voting as the primary political action is a big blunder in my eyes. (again do vote).

      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.

                She was! But since a rather large portion of the US public seems to have 0-3 neurons, it’s not enough to be the obvious choice for everyone else.

                Harris and her campaign knew this. They had polls clearly showing that she’s so bad at motivating voters that she’ll likely lose.

                  No, it was the voters fault that Harris decided to fish for the republican vote by shifting more to the right in her rhetoric. Those stupid people should have voted blue no matter who!

        I don’t vote except at the local level now. What’s the point, so I can vote for your politics. Fuck that. lol. It’s my vote. And I don’t vote in protest. Get your priorities fixed and maybe you can earn my vote back.

        The kids on the internet have no wisdom and it shows. Crahsing out, emotionally compromised and no compassion except “I’m right and you’re wrong!” I’m not voting for that. It would be shooting myself in the foot. MAGA does enough of that. No thanks. Fuck both sides.

    Again genocide isn’t a small thing, Harris also was very questionable on trans issues and extremely pro imperialism and cop.
