The democrats lost because they don't completely align on some of my favourite issues, it has nothing to do with how people felt about the state of the economy or a lack of focus on certain demographics.
Very true; people should not be making decisions on silly inconsequential little things like a genocide.
Note the "completely align", if you care about the conflict in Israel and the Gaza strip then the worst decision you could make is allowing Trump to win and give Netanyahu free reign to do whatever he wants.
Even if every single leftist voted for Kamala, she would still lose; there aren't enough leftists in this country to restore that blue wall.
She lost because of the genocide and alienating her base while trying to become a diet republican.
Will this result make that better?
No, seriously. If that's the biggest issue, to the exclusion of all others - does this event make it better, or worse?
harris' words said that she was trying to help, but her actions say otherwise; so it's the same result either way.
Okay great, so the problem was unavoidable, in this decision. It made no difference. Why the fuck should we have that problem, and also outright fascism?
i make no distinction between facist and facist-enablers. nevertheless, lemmy convinced me to find someone to vote swap with and i did in nevada.
the american people chose facism; so go ask them.
