tw american politics and i wish i could say i'm still having trouble grasping how the harris campaign failed so catastrophically but i've had no issues thus far just because i expect less than nothing from the democratic party. if there's a way to fumble they'll definitely find it and revel in it gleefully and almost spitefully until they reach an undesired outcome (losing), at which point it's everyone else's fault for not supporting them enough. or something

#currently debating this with a friend and my verdict is that this was a foregone conclusion #the fact that harris couldn't even pay lip service to things like trans rights or palestine (this came up in the 11th hour)#essentially sealed the deal #term 2 bush w was my first election so i've definitely earned the right to be jaded about the dems' whole process #anyway us politics are a roaring trash fire befitting a comically evil country #i don't subscribe to the “everyone is the same” belief system because that's reductive and shortsighted #but the choices this time were right wing and even righter wing lmao #so i can't say i was enthused #in any case i'm irritated by people gloating that harris lost because this is legitimately a frightening situation for many people #like globally #i feel like if you're going for a PhD in Posting and consider yourself progressive #you should maybe be thinking about mitigation strategies #and keeping certain kinds of information circulating #(like how to gain access to abortion care)#because even that is going to become more difficult to do #anyway canada has its own very similar shit to worry about for 2025 #so i'll be directing my attention towards everything involved in that
