Israel defending itself against what, bitch? The terror they have been inflicting to Palestinians for DECADES came completely unprovoked and this type of rhetoric just fuels the racist, xenophobic and dehumanizing notion that Hamas/Palestinians are mindless savages who kill for sport not victims trying to defend the land that's rightfully THEIRS, and their fucking LIVES. I'd probably say 'grow a fucking spine' but the US imperialism machine dgaf anymore about hiding the clear motives of their genocide enabling actions.

Me, trying hard not to get carried away and stay grounded in reality:

"oh, right, Tim Walz isnt the nominne, its still Kamala"

[ultimateinferno]

I think the big issue with Harris is that they used up any enthusiasm they had at the outset. When Biden dropped out and Harris stepped up, there was quite a bit of enthusiasm, maybe a hope that something would change. Then Walz was picked as VP, and once again, people were excited because Minnesota was seen as pretty progressive compared to the more institutional democrats. Then, as Novemeber approached, things started to fall apart. Harris started talking about being the most lethal military and securing borders. She got approval from Dick Cheney. And for the lot who were hoping to hear something in favor of brokering peace with Israel Palestine, there was a fake Biden Ultimatum against Netanyahu and nothing was done even while Trump bragged he was talking with Bibi and actively sabotaging Biden's brokering efforts.

I've seen people blame ID politics for their failure, but feminist and queer issues weren't unpopular, per se. Many states—even red states—passed abortion and queer marriage protections. A trans woman was sent to Congress, and this is the first time two black women are senators at the same time.

I think people are tiring of institutional Democrats. There's no excitement with the DNC. Their biggest selling point they keep giving is occupying seats to keep Republicans out of it. Anyone who may have an issue with institutional Democrats are told to fall into rank to keep Trump away. So, even if logically, Trump is a massive blow to a lot of these positions, people don't want to vote for "Not Trump^tm" for the third presidential election cycle in a row. They want and needed someone to get excited about.

I was a sophomore in high school during the 2016 election. By the time Trump leaves office, I will be approaching my 30s. I know there's a lot of finger-pointing right now about who dropped the ball on the presidential election, and we can blame any minor faction we want. "It's the Latinos! It's the progressives! It's the straight white men!"

Honestly, I don't think it's any of the major voting blocks, but, as I've said, the DNC as a whole. For their stuffy suits and constant attempts at reaching across the aisle with people who spit at their existence, demean their identities. When Harris called Republicans weird, people thought we were out of the woods with overly cordial negotiating and finally got someone who was willing to play ball.

I'm in progressive spaces, so it's certainly obvious that my observation that the DNC was too moderate is biased. That said, I think it was a one-two punch of being made to fall into line then losing because of a stark drop in turn out has lead to many believing someone else didn't do their part, almost a resentful "I had to give up my aspirations for the next administration to not be Trump, why couldn't you?"

The single biggest problem with “Bernie would have won” posters is that they will continually fail to see that the most obvious retort is “well why didn’t he? Why didn’t he win the Primaries” and they will never reflect on that.

Been playing BRD again and.... it's actually kind of nice to be playing my boy's real job again. Like I underestimate just how enjoyable it is to see him in his element. Out there shooting his little arrows and singing his little songs. ( ˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈♡)

[8-evil-annoying-catboys]

fucking knew this would happen tbh. they shouldn’t have let him run at all, but i think the dems were just overconfident in how much people hated him, so they were too complacent. they could have stopped this but they went for the dumbass route. like, ohh, let’s cancel the primaries and install our own candidate who can’t stop saying insane shit. certainly that will work out, even when she won’t listen to her voter base on a fucking genocide. since she’s running against this stupid fuckin asshole, she can’t lose!
