Can we get the fuck over this pointless nonsense, consign her to history, and do something about what's happening now, please?

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

And so, to avoid this from happening again, next time the Democrats are going to propose a candidate that doesn't have that weak spot, right? RIGHT?

[–] Kelgrim@feddit.nl 1 points 2 months ago

Yes, yes - everyone knows Trump is worse. Please fix your corrupt and insane political system

[–] Octagon9561@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You're allowed to hate both you know? The Empire will never put a progressive in charge.

[–] Wataba@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Coming from a tankie, thats almost funny.

[–] Octagon9561@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

Libs use the word "tankie" the same way conservatives use the word "woke".

[–] jonesey71@lemmus.org 1 points 2 months ago

So if this is why the Democrat candidate failed then the next candidate they put up won't support Israel since the Democrats will learn from their mistakes? I would like that, but I don't think it will happen. I think the new candidate will be the same as the old candidate and the Dem's will have learned nothing. Pro-business, pro-Israel, soft on regulations, soft on Republican lawbreaking, and corrupt as hell.

the US system is broken, this is what happens when there is only two choices 🥲

[–] 8oow3291d@feddit.dk 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

So you have an average normal politician running against literally Hitler. And people vote for literally Hitler.

And you don't think the problem is the people voting for literally Hitler?

Don't get me wrong, the US voting system is also bad. But that is really, really not the main problem here...

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

IMO the bigger problem is that the "average normal politician" managed to be so bad that voters didn't feel motivated to vote against Hitler.

This should have been a slam dunk - and there were literally a number of easy ways to motivate voters, like promising to stop the ongoing genocide the country is funding. But when given the choice between "letting Hitler win" and "stopping the genocide", Harris and the entire DNC leadership chose to let Hitler win.

Isn't that deeply fucked up?

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It was a slam dunk. I still know trump supporters who think everything negative said about him is a lie. Why did this never happen in human history before (an unrelenting smear campaign running for over a decade against an innocent man)? Meh I dunno something about woke.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Harris's win obviously wasn't a slam dunk, she lost.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I meant she was the obvious choice to anyone with >3 working neurons.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

She was! But since a rather large portion of the US public seems to have 0-3 neurons, it's not enough to be the obvious choice for everyone else.

Harris and her campaign knew this. They had polls clearly showing that she's so bad at motivating voters that she'll likely lose.

[–] theolodis@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

No, it was the voters fault that Harris decided to fish for the republican vote by shifting more to the right in her rhetoric. Those stupid people should have voted blue no matter who!

[–] criscodisco@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

all cops are bastards after all.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Do we really need another butthurt Harris post?

Of course not many people voted for her, she's the human equivalent of a damp biscuit.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Damn biscuit on one hand... Radioactive shitheap on the other.

Idiots: "meh, I'm fine with either"

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"the least awful option" is a terrible sales pitch, it's no wonder it didn't work.

[–] chloroken@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ah yes, dehumanizing people because they won't play along with your sick electoral kayfabe.

A scratched liberal is a fascist. Every single time.

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

Marxists are just as bad as fascists, and .ml troglodytes are genuinely dumb enough to think they're superior to people who are fundamentally against authoritarianism of any kind.

[–] taterthotsalad@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Dems could get my vote if they chilled on the taxes and laid off my 2A rights. The right will not get my vote bc that list is long af.

[–] DasSkelett@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So you willingly let the party with the long list win by not voting? Totally makes sense.

[–] taterthotsalad@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I don’t vote except at the local level now. What’s the point, so I can vote for your politics. Fuck that. lol. It’s my vote. And I don’t vote in protest. Get your priorities fixed and maybe you can earn my vote back.

The kids on the internet have no wisdom and it shows. Crahsing out, emotionally compromised and no compassion except “I’m right and you’re wrong!” I’m not voting for that. It would be shooting myself in the foot. MAGA does enough of that. No thanks. Fuck both sides.

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Brother she ain't running no more. What are you fucking talking about?

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

People not voting for her is why we're where we are today.

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Or maybe the fact that killing innocent children in Gaza was more important to her than winning the election is why we're here today.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nah. We're here because braindead Americans can't accept that they aren't going to get a perfect candidate and are willing to burn their nation to the ground in retaliation for that.

Adults make the right decision, even if it isn't perfect. Adults don't need a candidate to be perfect in order to do what's right for their nation and themselves.

[–] Killercat103@slrpnk.net -1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Perfect is really doing some heavy lifting. Sure shes better. I would have voted for her if i was an US-American. But shes still garbage. She kind of is controlled opposition. Making us look away from what would be actually good vs whats better than the worst option. It serves to legitimize their position in fear of the alternative. Thats not democracy. I am not saying that you should not vote, endorse or even accept the shitstain we get in the USA that is represented by Trump but running to the Democrats as the goal or seeing voting as the primary political action is a big blunder in my eyes. (again do vote).

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

Shame too many people are willfully ignorant to the blood on their hands.

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 2 months ago

Again genocide isn't a small thing, Harris also was very questionable on trans issues and extremely pro imperialism and cop.
