well luckily all 26 of those CEOs voted for her and overcame the 15 million voters that were alienated.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link.

Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

spoilers they all voted Trump
Those were trickle down votes
CW transphobia
But she failed to respond to the ubiquitous ads the Trump campaign ran claiming that Harris supports sex-change operations for prisoners. She allowed Trump to create the impression that she favored the most radical version of transgender rights.
Biden, allies say, never would have let such attacks stand. He would have clearly rejected the idea of trans women competing in women’s sports.
Drink a bottle of bleach, Franklin.
Libs are such disgusting cowards
fuck it let's just change it to a Wealth Voting system. rip this band-aid off
New kind of patsoc that just wants to return to the white landowning men only voting system
New?
Honestly progressive compared to some of the shit they talk about in silicon valley.
Damn, those 107 CEOs sure were worth it
Embedded in their autopsies was their own unstated faith that they could have done better.
Language changes - I know that - but I still hate the word "autopsy" for this. The word "post mortem" already existed for this purpose.
Members of Biden's clan continue to stoke the delusion that its paterfamilias would have won the election, and some of his advisers feared that he might publicly voice that deeply misguided view.
The debate showed that Biden was a wrecked old man who reeked of loser stink. Do they really not understand that? Biden would have lost California.
Biden would have lost California.
That's fine, he can't find it on a map anyway
post mortem
I mean if we're being prescriptivist about it, "autopsy" is preferable because it's a noun while postmortem is an adjective, the terms "autopsy" and "postmortem examination" being synonyms.
gross
And I do kind of like the ring of "autopsy" because it evokes a sense of pulling all the organs out and sticking them in jar full of formaldehyde for display and to poke at in the future, because if 2016 is any indication the examination is going to last a good long while. Maybe we should start calling it a "mummification."
Autopsy wasn't used that way until the GOP started to use it (in the 2010s?) I assume they thought "postmortem" sounded too nerdy and democratic. Also postmortem can be used all by itself as in "The postmortem indicated that..."
True, it's just funny that autopsy is the more technically correct term.
please do a CW for transphobia in the article
also, spoiler for transphobia

She allowed Trump to create the impression that she favored the most radical version of transgender rights.
Biden, allies say, never would have let such attacks stand. He would have clearly rejected the idea of trans women competing in women’s sports. Of course, he never staked out that position in his presidency. But it’s true that Harris avoided the issue, rather than rebutting it, despite the millions of dollars poured into those attack ads. And in the end, those ads very likely implanted the notion that Harris wasn’t the cultural centrist she appeared to be.
everyone knows you must dignify every one of your opponent's attacks with a response, which is the moral of the famous LBJ pigfucker story

thank you comrade! 
It is truly breathtaking to see all of these vile scratched liberals rushing to throw trans people under the bus as if Kamal Harris had word fucking one to say about defending trans humanity. Deeply, deeply unserious.
She had several words to say about it. I met a few of her victims. So much fucking removed.
Er, that word gets censored, but its what happens when you put trans people in the wrong gendered prison.
Stop? When did she start?
did it work
there is a Thanos and Little Girl meme in here
0% of the time, it works every time
DICTATORSHIP OF THE BOURGEOISIE!
meanwhile trump is on tiktok making presentations about how grocery prices have gone up
Wait but Donald Trump told me she was a radical communist?
