    Its funny how people act as if kamala lost because she supported genocide

    No lol, leftists hold miniscule power in electorate, kamala lost because she ran a shitty campaign and neo liberal economics will only make things worse for incumbent.

      Some factors for losing:

      • People were already salty that Biden even decided to run again, and then he forced a different candidate upon the voters.
      • Status quo
      • Woman
      • Not white
      • Zionism apologist
      • Obviously dumb strategy to ditch the “weird” name calling, and placate the right.
      • I not sure what to call it, but there is definitely an issue in our country of picking the “popular kid”, or “cool kid”

      Her loss was a combination of many factors, including the support of genocidal Zionism. Do not ignore it.

        MAGA are so soft, the “weird” moniker for their god emperor was one of the few things that was working well

      Kamala lost because it was obvious from the beginning that she was a bad candidate whose only hope of becoming President was to be parachuted into the role via the 25th Amendment once Biden’s mental state truly deteriorated. Unfortunately for her and the DNC, Biden’s condition declined right as a key presidential debate rolled around, and his declining cognitive health became so utterly apparent that not even Reddit’s tyrannical cabal of power mods could cover it up anymore.

      Before that debate, even merely suggesting that Biden was senile would have gotten you labelled a Nazi and banned from at least a dozen subreddits.

      THAT is why she lost to a convicted felon.

        Did you watch the debates between Biden and Trump. Biden was far more articulate and sane than trump, and it still wasn’t enough.

          Both of them were clearly demented. Trump just making shit up and Biden interrupting him to mumble incoherently, ending in “We Beat Medicaid!”

          Who said they were going to beat medicare and had an eyeball get bloody on stage?

          Both were senile racist bastards, one has always been incoherent, one was more recently incoherent.

      neo libs must choose… either there is not enough progressives to demand a progressive candidate so they are not a large enough block to have changed the outcome OR they are large enough bloc to demand progressive cannidate and the democrats ignoring them cost them the election.

      and they always pivot talking points

                I’m happy to see more progressives running but as a recent example, Madami, the Dems would have rather he lost than win even if it meant electing Trump. They’re the ones that put themselves in this position, now us.

                  They spent millions to keep him out, they hate winning if it means the rich lose $100.

            There’s a reason actual leftists refer to these losers as “social fascists”

            Liberals vastly prefer fascism to actual justice.

              And then they get mad when you call it out with documentation, even directly quoting their political idols and their own words about what they support.

              They just want the fascism done quietly in blue color than loudly in red.

      I voted for Kamala, but I was pissed we didn’t have a fucking primary. If we had a primary, we might have gotten Bernie on the ballot, or Elizabeth Warren, or Butegig, or anyone else. But instead Biden claimed to be running, then dropped out at the last minute so opps no time for primaries. I’m salty as hell that democrats didn’t get a choice. It felt deliberate and coordinated.

        Whoopie, the man who promised to be one term ran for another just long enough to ensure no one actually got a say in who to run.

        Certainly a mistake from the people who argued in court and won with it that they don’t have to have honest primaries.

      she was a candidate for 100 days leading up to the election, against a former president that had been campaigning non stop for 6 8 years at the point she joined the race. She was fucked over and thrown under a bus.

        I felt like she was a token black women as a VP, and not allowed to be any more than that. As much as the dems espouse equality its still a rich white man who is against universal healthcare running things.
