"This is Joe Brandon's fault, and trump will fix it. I'm an idiot!"
I like what this idiot says. Is there some way I can blindly support them to rule the world like an idiot?
The Dems lost approximately 10,000,000 voters this time around, and Trump ended up winning by approximately 500,000.
Seems to me the Dems are the idiots for thinking they could fail to follow through on their promises and people would continue to vote for them. You don't get to punch people in the face and then pretend it's their fault when you broke your hand, after all.
And yet they were following through on their promises. Gas prices are the lowest they've been in years, eggs were fine. Student loans were being addressed until retardicans blocked it. Same with the border bill same with the inflation bill. Any repub or dem who listened to brainwashing instead of evidence can go fuck themselves. Hell, they have gone and fucked themselves.
No, they have gone and fucked all of us.
It's the dems fault thinking a PoC woman can succeed as the presidential candidate in the current political climate in America
I'm actually kind of proud of them for nominating her for that exact reason. It does give me some hope that in the Post Trump future women will be seen as real people.
They didnt reject her because she's a woman. She was a bad candidate, just like Hilary. Bad performance, whether thats on her or her team who knows. Noones going to vote for someone purely because they think its fun to have a woman in the white house. Thats extremely low on peoples list of concerns for presidency.
The caricature of her that Fox&co-conspirators presented was certainly terrible.
I watched the fox interview straight through, as someone who voted for her already, and was shocked that the interviewer didnt sound like a crazy person, and kamala didnt answer a single question she was asked.
Fox and co didnt have to make her look bad, she did a great job of it sounding like a salea person or brand marketer. Trump sitting down for unscripted podcast interviews helped a ton. At least trump wasn't hiding who he is.
Did you watch the permanent 24 hours news cycle where they painted her as a radical lunatic marxist stupid DEI hire out to destroy the country and take away everyone's everything too? It is hard to overstate how crazy out there their propaganda is.
If all they were offering was a chance to elect the first minority president, then complaints about DEI hire are not entirely out of hand are they?
The democrats simply can't win if they need to be funded by corporations but earn votes from the average american who are getting fucked by those corporations.
If that were all she had to offer, then you'd be right. If, however, purely hypothetically, she offered to actively combat price-gouging, for example, that would benefit the vast majority of people at the cost of the usurers' theft profits, which should net her the support of the vast majority of the electorate. Only one example out of many, which Fox will duly be silent about while focusing on HER ONLY BEING A DEI HIRE DO NOT TAKE IN ANY OTHER INFORMATION KEEP PARROTING THE DEI HIRE TALKING POINT FORGET ABOUT ANYTHING SHE ACTUALLY SAYS OR STATES ON HER POLICIES! DEI HIRE! DEI HIRE! DEI HIRE!
I just think even democrats had trouble trusting she actually stood for those things. Thats the problem. Its funny the democrats were arguing green party voters only come out and campaign every four years, when democrats seem to only have progressive values every four years.
This time they went crazy and tried to go conservative for some reason, thinking they could out republican the republicans.
They really thought republicans were reluctantly voting for trump. They really thought they could win without sacrificing all their corporate donations either.
That too.
