As opposed to Trump deliberately shitcanning everything possible that helps the common person specifically to enrich his buddies? Openly, I might add, with the supreme court in his back pocket.
Kamala might have been mislead, but Trump is deliberately tearing everything apart.
Trump being shit does not mean kamala is good. Trump isn't the bar.
The point is that kamala being only slightly better than trump is what lead to trump winning. It's also clear that the dems aimed as low as they could on purpose, because they thought they had an easy win and could worry only about their masters holding the leash and not their voters.
It would have been a massive win, all they had to do was tell Israel to fuck off and offer their voters literally anything.
Trump won because the dems chose Israel over us.
Keep blaming voters and watch as the dems refuse to change since they know their media campaign is working.
When voters are asked to make a binary choice (yay 2 party system), there was a clear less bad option.
And they went with the proven worst option anyway.
I never said Kamala was good. But with our two-party system, it was either Kamala or Trump. I would take a shit-filled diaper over Trump.
The 2024 election was a shitshow because Biden suddenly dropped out very close to the actual election, leaving Kamala's team scrambling. There were a ton of people who didn't even know Biden had dropped out. Search trends showed as much.
The system here isn't broken - it's working as intended, to serve the wealthy and shit on the rest of us.
Ya I agree with all that. That's mostly why it frustrates me to see people detract from the real problem by scapegoating the blame onto voters. The voters reacted badly but I'd rather pressure the ones that created the situation.
I'll say it cause someone is going to, might as well keep this discussion going. So your admitting that you want to see the Palestinian people be exterminated? Kamala chose Israel over US, that's why Trump won. A vote for Kamala is a vote for genocide.
Now we have come full circle. Seriously this conversation about Kamala is fruitless. Everyone just let it go. It's the past and we can't change it.
So was a vote for Trump. Genocide on top of unprovoked attacks on multiple other countries.
Yeah it was, you're correct. I was just jumping to the end of the argument cause I've seen it a thousand times and it's just Tankie's trying to be acceleratationists.
