Republicans are always evil. They don't do anything good. Ever. They're a known quantity. That's what we expect of them.
We expect the Dems to be better. And they get the smoke when they fail at that. Cutting Corp taxes. Border crackdowns. Genocide. Those are things that should exclusively be the pervue of Republicans. If dems run to the right they will always lose because the right was so triggered by Obama that policy doesn't matter to them whatsoever. It's purely teamsport for them. You can't appeal to them in any way. They see a (D) and vote against that person. Dems would never lose another election if they went only as far left as Bernie Sanders. We would have a perpetually booming economy and a high standard of living. But even that is far too far for the DNC Services Corp. So we get a gameshow host and a car salesman destroying everything.
"Conservatives", not Republicans. Around 100 years ago the style of both parties in the US was almost exactly reversed.
lol
About half of America thought Kamala was too far left. The idea that Americans are secretly socialists just waiting for a real leftist candidate and are willing to tolerate progressively more fascistic politicians in the mean time is simply ridiculous and without any basis in reality.
Historically a lot of R voters would've considered voting D if they'd just stop trying to disarm the working class, but D leadership more and more seems to be the party of, "we know what's best for you" elitism. But the open border policies really hurt D's popularity. R voters don't consider themselves racist or anti-inmigration, they just want affordable housing and instead of blaming late stage capitalism, they blame policies that lured over ten million refugees in one presidential term.
Democrats do not and never have had open border policies.
Not at all. She went too far right and a lot of people stayed home. Cuz one republican is as good as another. They both fuckin suck at literally everything. Except fucking up the economy. Republicans are great at that.
Campaigning with the daughter of a minor demon didn't help either
Major demon*
Compared to the Demons we’ve got now? Pretty fucking minor IMHO.
Nah, I'm not accepting that kind of Dick Cheney rehabilitation. That man is one of the most evil men to ever hold power in the US.
And do you have any actual reason I should believe that?
"Well, lots of people would have voted for her if she put on a keffiyeh and sang l'Internationale."
Why should I believe that? There is just no basis to believe there is some secret American socialist majority.
Wouldn't call it a majority. But it's a bloc that dems cannot win without. That bloc has also been lied to for literally our entire lives. Grown jaded. And won't vote for empty promises anymore.
Evidently we can't win with you because sway like reeds in the wind.
So they dodge the support of Progressives and lose because of it? Sounds like they need to support progressive policies. Like Obama did.
Name five policies Obama supported Biden did not.
She promised to institute a tax on unrealized gains.
What constitutes "far right?"
Trump has concentration camps. Biden didn't. One assumes Kamala wouldn't. If you don't see a difference, it speaks to how privileged you are.
Uh... The ICE haven't been created out of thin air in January... You just ignored them before because it was a democrat in the adminstration.
Funding genocide in Palestine, running the ICE and deporting more immigrants than trump did in 2016 (look it up), maintaining the military industrial complex, increasing rates of homelessness and prices of healthcare and rent and tuition...
Under Biden ICE wasn't sending people to extraterritorial prisons without due process.
So, the existence of Ukraine, homelessness and high prices equal "Nazi?"
No, only Guantanamo operated that way. ICE was still a concentration camp though. Really grasping at straws aren't we?
Maintaining Nazi policy of genocide in Gaza (failed to mention that one I see), and of economic and police violence (1 in 4 black males above 30 years old have been through the prison system in the US) is Nazi, yes.
Have you ever considered the total failure of any politicians you support might have to do with your hyperbole?
Just accept you don't care about genocide as long as it's a democrat enacting it, we'll be over quicker
It would be a Likudnik enacting it.
And your insistence demonstrates my point.
It's incredible that blueMAGA think that denying the Democrats role in the Gaza genocide does anything other than show everyone that they're wilfully dishonest.
Who is everyone? Because the majority of Americans backed the candidate to the right of them on Israel.
Everyone who hasn't had their head buried in the sand the last year and a half.
So, do you just, not want to win any elections, ever?
What is your definition of "concentration camps"?
Migrant detention centers and prisons were a focus within the "build back better" set of legislature and the ICE raids and campus crackdowns I'm assuming you are referencing are a continuation of the Biden administration's crackdown from well over a year ago.
If you're just referencing Guantanamo bay as a migrant detention center then every president since 1974 has been guilty of concentration camps.
If you can appeal getting sent to it, it isn't a concentration camp.
Biden built the camps Trump is using. Check yourself.
