As always, the interest of the capitalist class.

Good thing genocide Harris didn’t get elected, ML, right?

[–] PowerCrazy@lemmy.ml -5 points 8 hours ago

Agreed. Too bad Bernie Sanders didnt get elected and usher in 1000 years of fully automated luxury communism. Where all neoliberals including Harris, Clinton and Obama would have been summarily executed.

She didn't get elected. Why do we have to argue with your alternative reality?

The leftist were the ones screaming at the Democrats to not run on "the strongest military" and "border wall" ads.

Please. It's just so pathetic to keep bringing up the Ls of the Democratic party and blaming it on leftist. It makes you look really fucking stupid.

But thanks for the ML tag. Every time an idiot radlib tries to use that as a reason a comment is "automatically bad" a bunch of normal brained people read it and keep thinking "damn, I keep agreeing with these MLs". What do they actually believe?

And you lose another person from your identity based politics that only asks for voting for a lesser evil.

We are literally watching the failures of that in real time with the VP candidate of your hero doing literally nothing but give "words" to protect the citizens of his state.

Well said. The ones forcing doomed to fail candidates and strategies constantly lob slanderous accusations blaming everyone else for their bad candidates. It was a woman, must have been bigotry, as if that would justify nominating a candidate that couldn't win for a make or break election. And it's laughable to think so, the actual left is spited by these candidates at every turn, harris campaigned with liz fucking cheney for god's sake.

The mythical swing voters don't exist, the dem leadership has nothing but contempt for their voters if they aren't donating tens of thousands of dollars. Anyone supporting them at this point is doing the same thing expecting different results, and clearly trusts the wrong people.

But no, let the country burn so you don't have to admit you were wrong, to keep people in power that hate you and see popular as the enemy in a country that chooses leaders with popular elections.

Have the day you voted for.
