Harris chose to lose the most winnable election in history because Democrats know they can punish voters for being disloyal simply by allowing Republicans to win. If you demand too much from Democrats they will throw the election. It's essentially a hostage situation, you must give unconditional support to the Good Cop or the Bad Cop will beat you to death. You don't want the Bad Cop, do you?

If we don't abolish this system we're all going to die.

Imagine a group thinking Palestine swung the needle at all on US elections. ROFL...

That is getting close to "flat earth" level of denial.

Kamela ran a horrible, lame, corporate platform.

Kamela ran a horrible, lame, corporate platform.

And in a reasonable world this wouldn't have mattered. People are unreasonable.

[–] Ryoae@piefed.social 1 points 48 minutes ago (1 children)

I am sorry but if people still think the Palestinian conflict is the end-all and be-all of where the state of the world goes, much less, where America goes. Then they're no better than the single-minded voters that helped the Republicans win twice.

There will ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS be conflict going on over the Middle-East with everyone there. It is NEVER-ENDING. We've wasted nearly 20 years dicking around with Afghanistan and Iraq. All for what? So the Taliban can take over territory in less than a week after all that effort? What a waste!

What we needed to do and should have done was hold Israel accountable and not fund them anymore. If to them, makes us look anti semitic, then so what? They're the aggressors, they're the ones being tyrannical bastards right now and if they can't see that then it's their problem they need to sort out or don't. Whatever floats their little boat.

But also, we have so much shit to fix here that it'll be a bit until we get there. We've already squandered telling Israel to stop their shit.

Bullshit, if we wanted the Palestinian Genocide to stop we could make Isrsel stop with a single phonecall.

Also you guys are fucking idiots.

“If you don’t pick a better candidate then I’ll just let the one who wants concentration camps and to erase all of Palestine win”

Like, seriously, look at the big picture. Do you think Kamala who would have still supported Israel would have been worse for Gaza? It’s literally not possible. You guys fucked up the entire planet in your pride.

Now I’m not saying the DNC isn’t wrong, they’re fucking morons. But you guys just gave up on global warming, gay rights, trans rights, Gaza, any sembles of the environment, public health, the entire “justice” system, the courts, your immigrant neighbours, all people of colour in the US, and women’s rights.

I cannot express how much I fucking hate people like you right now.

Go ahead and downvote me. “But it’s not right”. Yeah? We’ll choosing to let this happen is leagues worse. You guaranteed the genecide in Gaza would be the worst it ever could be you fucking morons.

Go out and pressure the DNC to not be shit, but don’t fucking say there’s no difference between Kamala and Trump.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 1 points 12 minutes ago

Yes because this is about your emotions and needing a satisfying story to direct your anger at, not reality.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 16 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

Wanna know how to pressure the DNC to pick a candidate you like? Go fucking vote for them in the primary!

Typically, the primaries get 1/10th the turnout of the general election. That means that a very small number of people can sway the primary. Go stump for your candidate. Make phone calls, talk to your family and friends and community, explain why your candidate is the better choice.

The lack of a primary in 2024 was fucking awful, but guess what? Chances are, there is a primary going on for your state right now, get to work!

[–] punkcoder@lemmy.world 6 points 43 minutes ago (1 children)

Try telling that to someone who supported Bernie, but before you do that you might want to go back and refresh youself on what happened. The DNC is a diseased carcass, change isn't possible.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world -2 points 24 minutes ago (1 children)

Before I consider this complaint, I need you to go back, and get the primary results from the 2016 DNC primary and post them here.

I know what the results are, but I need to know that you know before we discuss further.

[–] doctordevice@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 minutes ago

Do you really think the vote results of a corrupt election somehow make that election not corrupt? How are we still having this stupid ass argument in 2026?

I guess Putin really does have 88% support in Russia. That's what the vote says after all, so it must be true.

[–] nialv7@lemmy.world 3 points 23 minutes ago (1 children)

did bernie lose because people didn't vote for him? or did he lose because the democrats establishment push him out?

for what you said to be true, the democrats need to abolish the superpac system, which they won't do.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 1 points 21 minutes ago

Same thing applies to you.

Before I consider this complaint, I need you to go back, and get the primary results from the 2016 DNC primary and post them here.

You forgot to include USAID.

Anyone who keeps clutching to Gaza and says Kamala would have been as bad as Trump can suck my dick.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 28 points 2 hours ago

I forgot a ton of things. 

AI, your data privacy, your parents retirement, NATO, electric cars, green energy, antitrust, the chip shortage. 

There’s a huge list. 

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 1 points 49 minutes ago

Yup

It's fucking mind numbing

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol 12 points 2 hours ago

They literally do think everything that's happened under Trump would have been the same under Kamala.

They are deeply unserious people who have no ambitions for politics and care only about purity-testing.

[–] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 18 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah...

To the people "wanting to teach the DNC a lesson", in the nicest way possible, you're fucking idiots.

They threw literally ever other minority group under the bus, and got absolutely nothing for it - if anything they actually got less than nothing, because Trump wasn't just going soft on Israel, he was actively cheering them on!

I will never understand the mentality of choosing that hill to die on... Like couldn't you guys have waited until Trump was at least off the board first.

Man was literally on his way to a lifetime in jail and bankruptcy, that he got out of scot-free because you guys decided 2024 was the time for a protest vote.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

I will never understand the mentality of choosing that hill to die on...

I think it only makes sense if they're lying about their beliefs and wanted trump to win.

[–] U7826391786239@lemmy.zip 48 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

i'm glad i'm not the only one shitting on 3rd party/abstainers every chance i get. high and mighty morality police, usually saying shit like "kamala was always going to lose" while simultaneously trying to push the 100% guaranteed fail action of 3rd party or sitting out.

whether they're actually russian propaganda trolls or not hardly matters--they're shit human beings either way

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 11 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Agreed. But I'm not going to publicly endorse a dead-end DNC loser before it's necessary. The DNC needs to act like people aren't required to vote for them and field a candidate that can actually win votes.

[–] Enkrod@feddit.org 2 points 17 minutes ago

That's valid! More than valid it's necessary. Show resistance against weak DNC libs AS LONG AS POSSIBLE, but possible ends when it's time to vote. Then always choose the option that is best or, if necessary least damaging.

If you don't vote against the biggest fascist, you are helping fascism along.

Yes! Primaries primaries primaries.

Go and primary every single DNC candidate that isn't good enough, get better democratic candidates wherever you can. Put even more energy into primaries than into the election itself! But when the decision comes down to Churchill or Hitler, you better vote for fucking Churchill.

Everything else is just throwing the minorities and the future under the bus as a cost of doing business.

I'm just pissed off we let America have so much power over the word as it is. They're one country, for fuck sake, not the World Police.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 5 points 32 minutes ago

Silver lining: Trump just killed that role like a newborn baby in lake Michigan.

The meme is unironically true though. I hate the candidates that the dnc puts forward, but I hate the opposition more. 2016 and 2024 kinda shows how the meme is unfortunately rather accurate, and I heard plenty of people advocating for not voting for Kamala because of stances that trump was objectively worse on.

[–] Sir_Premiumhengst@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Well, we don't live in a fucking vacuum. Swallow your pride or you'll be made to swallow repubelican dick.

"It puts the lotion on it's skin or else it gets the Trump again"

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 32 points 3 hours ago (4 children)

By that logic, no one should have supported racist America and colonist Britain against the Nazis.

So we're just going to hash this out every single day for the next 2 years, huh?

Edit: I do find it interesting how many replies to this comment are vague enough that you can't determine which side of this argument they're on, but I guess I did start it myself.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

The dumber the dog, the more repetitions it takes to teach it.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 9 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

And yet still in 2028 we're going to have people arguing between the milquetoast Democrat and a republican who wants to make camps for undesirables and telling anyone left of center to stay home.

[–] DaMummy@hilariouschaos.com 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

And we're also going to have any centrist telling people that they should've spoken up before, while telling people to shut up, and accept the inevitable milquetoast Democrat now. I remember how much we used to make fun of FOX News for whataboutism. How the hell did the Democrat voters become the party of "What about Trump?"

This is like your parents telling you to "clean your room or sleep in the yard" so you prepare to go camping.
