  • Obama also competed against a deep field of qualified candidates in 2008. He went into the general with momentum of a popular mandate and then won in a landslide.

    He would of done nearly as good if he was a white man.

    On the flip side, when the republicans lost with Romney in 2012 they did a whole lot of soul searching (rather than blaming the electorate and moving closer to the center to court mythical ‘moderates’ which is the ongoing failed strategy of the democrats), and in 2016 they had an extremely competitive primary where trump came out on top with a mandate as popular with the base as Obama in 2008.



  • Again, that’s your feelings. You’re in the denial stage of grief. The American populace definitively decided that trump was the better candidate whether you like it or agree with it. I hate the guy but I can’t blame them when the democrats refuse to engage in democracy and run a shit candidate. Who lost. In a landslide. And lost the senate! And likely the house!


  • I didn’t vote for trump, and my state went to Harris.

    Enjoy the eventual blowback that comes from supporting Israel’s bullshit. Those beeper terror attacks, or the use of ai to surveil and jail the populace for thought crime is only a matter of time before that tech gets used against Americans on American soil.

    Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds. It’s like you just can’t hold democrats accountable for throwing all of us under the bus rather than run electable candidates that go through a legitimate primary process.



  • Harris doesn’t support shit except whatever the military industrial complex wants. She speaks out of both sides of her mouth and lacks any original thoughts of her own at all on any issue let alone Israel.

    Both candidates want to turn Palestine into glass and then oceanfront vacation homes for rich Zionist NYC metro area assholes who aren’t content with just stealing homes.



  • The candidate selection process on the democrat side is rigged, which is why voters voted wrong in the eyes of liberals.

    Democrats are just as responsible for making the bed we’re all forced to sleep in. Running a god awful candidate that didn’t even go through a primary process and then being shocked at the loss is key out to brunch idiocy.

    Also if your whole government stops relying on us (for weapons, obviously, that’s our only export) maybe our taxes will go to universal healthcare instead of being the worlds policeman.


  • I almost didn’t vote but my state makes it so damn easy it would be stupid not to. I voted third party for the general and then a split ticket for everything else with as much third party as I could. I live in VT, Harris, sanders, and Scott were all shoe ins with massive % so the only races that were remotely competitive were down ticket. My local politician for state office has run unopposed the entire time I’ve been here. He’s a “democrat Republican” which brings me back to revolutionary war period america lol.
