I personally voted Kamala (yes I know and it was a deeply painful decision). Looking back im not quite sure why, she never really had a chance and she certainly wasnt a good candidate. I suppose its because I genuinely don't care about electoral politics. Workers liberation can only come from revolution.
She lost by one of the slimmest popular vote margins in history. But other than that, yeah, are never really had a chance
Damn, really? Maybe the Democrats shouldn't have put up a doddering, old, dementia-addled, genocide-enabling maniac for President, then, so that there wasn't the whole candidate-switcheroo last second. Let me go blame myself for this.
Your anger about a genocide enabler wrought a genocide enjoyer. Well played
You've been playing genocide enabler since before the inception of your country. Maybe, if you'd have thought enabling genocide enablers leads to people who might enjoy genocide sooner, the whole moral dilemma might not have happened in the first place?
But no, it's the people with a conscience to blame for this.
You played yourself.

While unconditionally shoveling weapons and signing aid packages for neatanyahu's genocidal apartheid regime. Oh, and his administration ran interference for netanyahu at the UN.
Pro-genocide centrists (which is a tautology. genocide is the only policy centrists have ever actually stood for. it's all they are. it's all they have ever been or ever will be.) expect everyone to whom they lie to accept without question that words speak louder than actions.
We have on record Biden claiming to encourage ceasefire, and four? of his aids on record saying it never happened.
Precisely. Democrats expect us to believe words without actions. That only works for so long before they're completely out of credibility.
When they came for the Palestinians, I didn't speak because I was not Palestinian...
"I don't have a dog in the fight. I'm not a German and I'm not Jewish". -reddfugee about the holocaust.
You have him on record lying to credulous domestic liberals that he did that, and that's the only thing that matters to you.
Lol. "I'm ok with committing genocide, so long as its done solemnly and not gleefully."
Though so far, Trump has been more willing to break from Israel than Biden ever was.
Oh clearly, starting with moving consulates into contested territory. You seem really well informed.
Imagine seeing a whole population being butchered and thinking the location of the consulate is what matters.
And if Kamala had won, the US would still be bombing Yemen on behalf of Israel.
This was literally the worst electoral map for the Democrats since 1988 when Republicans won Illinois and California.
Yeah but she almost won the entirely symbolic popular vote, she's basically the next FDR!
Republicans love to pretend that where people live changes their value as a person.
Non sequitor. Not what I said and not a Republican.
Campaigns are about winning swing states, those are just the rules of the game. Kamala lost that game worse than any Democrat in nearly 40 years. Maybe the rules we have aren't fair, and if they were different, she would've lost by a smaller margin. But then, both campaigns would've been run completely differently, the same candidates might not have even been the nominees, etc.
By the actual rules of the actual game, Kamala lost extremely badly.
Like it's just republicans.
Talk to a centrist about raising the national minimum wage sometime, and it becomes clear quickly that they don't care at all about raising the minimum wage once their state has done it.
Democrats love to pretend that the popular vote is what wins elections
Popular vote doesn't determine who's president; Harris got washed in the election.
It and it ALONE determines the successfulness of a campaign in converting hearts and minds.
Yeah, like how in 2016 Trump lost the popular vote and we never heard from him again
The topic is who doesn't have a chance to win an election period you keep trying over and over and over and over and over again to change the topic but I won't let you.
The topic is who doesn't have a chance to win an election.
Someone who gets the most votes doesn't really fall in that category no matter how many times you try to change the topic.
Your the one who keeps trying to change the topic away from the metric that actually determines who wins the election.
And Harris didn't get the most votes.
so like getting the citizenship award on your 4th grade report card
I bet that made sense in your head. Good thing you have a cute little fan base to up vote your nonsense comments
The successfulness of a campaign is determined by who wins the election
Ok. Not what we were talking about.
Are you unable to check wikipedia or are you lying on purpose?
