May be she should have, instead of being silent pos and hence complicit in genocide, just like Trump and Biden and many European leaders.

Harris could have won without changing a single position on anything.

All she had to do was stop listening to anyone who worked for the Clintons, and run her mouth on whatever was on her mind. Any issue, just be fucking real about it. She couldn't/didn't do it.

Everything Mr Trump says is some shade of a lie, but it appears true in the moment in the way that sociopaths can pass a lie detector exam. They do not betray themselves with microexpressions when they lie.

And thus he appeared genuine despite uttering nothing but bald-faced lies and she appeared to be hiding something when she was being careful and campaigning like it was still the Obama Era. It was not and he won because of it.

Hmmm yes, it is the victims of genocide who are smug. Big brain thinks from the humble liberal.

It's incredible that peoples' minds are so colonized that their first instinct is to blame voters instead of party leadership that shut down all discussion of Biden's declining health, undemocratically anointed a wildly unpopular successor and then failed to listen to voters who were saying that supporting an ongoing genocide was a bridge too far.

American "democracy" in summary

[–] electricyarn@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

The party leaders ousted Biden because of his declining health. Are you stupid?

[–] BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

But vote blue no matter who, do you trump to win, whatever they say that is bullshit. Never mind the Democrats leadership and neo-liberal majority have shown they're just controlled opposition at this point. They don't make real change, and I bet when it's all said and done, if they get into power, will still reach across the fricking aisle.

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 0 points 37 minutes ago (1 children)

The real change would have been I not have any of this shit we have now.

[–] Jay101@lemmy.world 1 points 14 minutes ago

Nah, next time push for better and not a sad compromise. Learn a lesson.

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 7 points 7 hours ago

Trying to explain to Americans that the fact they don't Primary Challenge incumbent democrats is a massive part of the problem; is tiresome.

[–] KatakiY@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Yeah it sucks

[–] Isthisreddit@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

I really think the left were the canary in the coal mine with this entire Israel issue. I personally know people who didn't give a fuck about Gaza during the election, who are now really wondering why shit is the way it is, who are slowly realizing (in their own ways) how it's all connected.

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 1 points 22 minutes ago

Enabling netanyahus best buddy to become president was not a smart move.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago

My default assumption is that whenever there's a widespread youth protest movement focused on improving rights or human safety, most of the time those kids are on the right side of history.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Not necessarily the left, but I've always called trans and disabled people a canary in the coalmine for fascism. We're always among the first groups they come for

[–] SooperGoose@thelemmy.club 26 points 11 hours ago (28 children)

Blaming anyone that voted third party is one of the most tiresome, braindead, selfish opinions. Seriously, get over yourself. The entire reason we're in this mess is because of the two party system putting people against eachother instead of the greedy villains surviving the life out of the country. Stop being weak and giving in to the lesser evil. Compromising with harm only brings about more harm.

In conclusion, fuck you.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago

They will blame third parties, meanwhile 6 million of THEM couldn't even be bothered to vote.

it's never their fault, all the way down

[–] 7101334@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago

Blaming anyone that voted third party is one of the most tiresome, braindead, selfish opinions.

It's also mathematically ignorant. If Harris received every single third party vote excluding RFK Jr's, even if you include Libertarians who are more right-leaning, she still would've lost.
