#Democrats care about Americans

[isawthismeme]

She’s brown and a democrat, gotta get that birth certificate, that we’ll call fake news anyway. Apparently, if you can’t win in a fight, you gotta at least try to get your opponent disqualified.

Sad and weird.

Undocumented drug offenders in work program were not deported. The District Attorney was Kamala Harris.

(June 23, 2009)

How much more of this do we, as Americans, want?

[navree]

Incorrect, the fact that Biden has dropped out and a candidate with history of supporting medicare for all and being more receptive to a ceasefire in the I/P conflict has made me go from "I cannot morally support the Democratic nominee" to "I am voting for the Democratic nominee despite the fact she isn't perfect in every respect." I'm really happy this played out. The Dems for the most part abandoned the old Obama platform and it feels like its possible an actual progressive agenda could come to pass in my lifetime.

Kamala 2024!

If you weren't going to vote Democratic in this election before Biden dropped out you're a dorkass loser who does not care about any of the issues you're yammering about here and also a fundamentally bad person, and I hope you get run over by a bus.

But you got one thing right in all of this gibberish, Kamala 2024.

So I recently came across THIS:

And it proves what I've been saying for over a week now. Could Kamala Harris be more progressive in her words about the Palestine Genocide? Yes BUT the Palestine people LITERALLY SAY they view her as being better for that sitaution than Trump.

So this notion of her and Trump being two sides of the same coins is a misunderstanding at best or a lie at worst.

So again; you have someone who has said she won't be silent about Gaza suffering OR you have someone who says Isreal should "get it over with". Take your pick. I'm going with the former.

Trump Finds a Way to Make Hurricane Helene About Immigrants, Dabbles in ...

Why is this absolute fool trying to get elected. He'll make things worse than before if he becomes president again.

not to be black on main, but i don't think racism and/or right-wing 'leanings' are minor inconsequential things worth ignoring in the name of Working Class Solidarity™. like this isn't so much about luigi and whatever he (allegedly) did as it is about the response from (alleged) leftists. unlike many of you making posts like that, i live in the real world (while black). and in the real world, the politics of SO many americans start and stop with hating non-white (or specifically black) people, wherever they personally fall on the class ladder. this is why millions of poor and working class white americans will happily cut off their nose to spite their face if it means millions of nonwhite americans (of Any social class or income) are kept in 'their place'. this is a Big reason why reconstruction failed and the southern strategy succeeded. so, no, it's not something i can afford to look past for the Greater Good, actually. whole time, y'all are talking around it like it's a mild inconvenience, a teeny-tiny bump on the road towards some utopic class unity or whatever, as if racism isn't Fully Baked into politics isn't Fully Baked into classism in the U S of A. once y'all figure that out, something (like fixing this bullshit healthcare system) might actually get done lol

sorry if this complicates your easy 'this is how working class solidarity can still win' narrative, but life is complicated!

I wonder if the "Vote Blue" and "American lives are not less important than Palestinian lives" people even know that polio has returned to Gaza (Although they probably don't care, they want to vote for a Zionist who elects another Zionist as vice president, because the truth is that blue people are Islamophobic)

The truth is that you care about the rights of white LGBT+ people, but you recognize that you also care about non-white people, when in practice you want to vote for the person who wants them dead, shame on you

Although what should we expect from people who ignore the rights of people with disabilities…

[rigginsstreet]

I feel like what I’m learning through all this election fall out and the polls etc is that the average American does not prioritize civil rights lmfao and that is uhhhh concerning

[jangillman]

Typical of the self interested Leftists. Couldn't give a rats about the military they abandoned and died! 😡😡😡

[chewwytwee]

Voting democrat will do nothing to stop the genocide in Palestine. However it’s still disingenuous to pretend that democrats being in office is somehow no different than republicans being in office

[wizardnaturalist]

thank god the west wing isnt still on the air bcs I think if I had to watch an episode about the president grappling with the morality of wiretapping or police violence but ultimately deciding the system is For The Good Of The American People and also changing things would be bad for his polls I think I would fly into a blind rage

[bleuberrygliscor]

i know its 90% venting at the bleakness of american politics but like...

it really fucking blows to know that most people are probably not gonna vote this year. i cant wait for the fallout of that.

[is-the-owl-video-cute]

god the world must be so beautiful from behind rose colored glasses so thick you can excuse genocide abroad, violence and inhumane treatment of immigrants at home, a somehow even WORSE policy for COVID that lead to thousands more deaths, did NOTHING about the overturning of Roe v. Wade even though it happened TWO YEARS AGO already, and an increase in police violence and brutality towards black people.

Aw, but guys, guys look peepaw forgave the student loan debt of like ten people, so all that’s fine. Who cares how many black and brown people died under him, he forgave a debt here and there so it’s fine.

I mean, who cares that he’s so far into senility he needs visual aids to study so he knows how to leave a podium? Who cares if he barely has any awareness that he’s the president right now? I mean sure he called Lewinsky “President putin” and didn’t notice trump doing the fast part of rap god in that debate to get as many lies out as possible, guys it’s ok! Biden expanded NATO! Aren’t you happy? Don’t you feel safe? Come on, we can trust the weird hair sniffing pervert who can only hold on a coherent conversation about golf at this point, but hey! He’s not trump so no matter how many policies he shares with trump and how severely they are implemented, his name is Biden so it’s ok!

Who wouldn’t trust Biden? I mean, sure he said in 2020 he would be a single-term President and pass the torch to another democrat for the next term and all, but hey!

Who cares if he lies through his teeth, he’s just a politician he can’t help that!

Me, too! And you can't convince me otherwise.

Corporations don't care

Government always lies

Rat Race will destroy you

Getting a job is a waste of time

Billionaires are the death of us

The school system is rigged and outdated

Democrats and Republicans are wolves in sheep's clothing

We are nothing more than expendable slaves to the rich and powerful

There is no middle class

War is a waste of time and life

But in the end, is there any hope of changing any of this at all for a better future than this worthless excuse of nations on earth or is it too late.

We can change this world without the endless lies and false promises.

I wonder if the assumption that trump won because voters care alot about inflation and are being radicalized rightwards (both of which i admittedly held) are actually untrue*, and the actual reason for trumps victory is that democrats could not whip up a big enough voting bloc in comparison to republican voters. The democrats certainly werent sending their best with all that support for palestinian genocide. Also the fact joe biden was so old and mentally unfit for presidency! Not a good look for the democrats, that probably alienated their voters to the point that the relatively reliable voter base of trump was able to carry him through.

*the outcomes of the election are obviously caused by a combination of rightwing radicalization, concern for inflation, voter apathy, and other reasons, a reductionist view of politics where everything can be attributed to a specific cause and not others is just wrong, just voter apathy had the strongest impact of all causes

Imagine ignoring SEVEN DECADES of queer people who’ve had their human rights violated NOT ONLY on the basis of being queer but also Arab/Palestinian. Imagine thinking just because the west has destabilised these countries and not allowed for any sort of government or legitimate political movements to arise without being deemed terrorist organisations that these people are incapable of progress.

Hands up if you're sick of the IDF flying gay flags like they're doing this shit in our name
