I voted for Walz.

Dems suck at winning elections because for 40 years now their strategy has been a losing one of “try being Republican-light.” They’re too corrupted by corporate bribes to right the ship, hopefully it sinks into a sea of conservative ignorance and an actual leftist party can rise from the ashes.

What strawman? When is it appropriate to hold DNC leadership accountable for losing the election, again?

Bro if you call that campaign “near perfect,” have I got a bridge to sell you.

Nah, you’re wrong to blame the voters.

It’s time to take an honest look at DNC leadership and ask some difficult questions - why aren’t they interested in doing more to actually win votes? Will they ever learn that pandering to corporations for bribe money is a losing strategy?

Besides, Trump actually got fewer votes this time around than 2020. So your premise is flawed there too. It’s just that Harris and the DNC got way less. Dems lost this one and if you ask me it’s because of their Israel First policy and fierce commitment to ongoing genocide and denial of reality. Couple that with insane inflation directly and negatively impacting people's material conditions, and somehow Trump was able to pose as the change candidate. Politically, that’s all that matters when the people are miserable.

I’d vote for a 68 y/o Walz, because he’s the type of guy who would push for sensible reforms like age and term limits while in office. Harris is much younger, but you know she wouldn’t dare do something like that because she’s too invested in pandering to establishment donors.

This is really quite simple - they want to remove the few marginal protections offered by ACA. Namely, pre-existing conditions. Republicans believe insurers should not assist you if you are sick but haven't been paying them for long enough beforehand. Just like these dying pregnant women who are now forced to attempt waiting to give stillbirth instead of get abortions, all of us will have to wait until insurers have collected enough money from us before they will pay their 60-80% to make vital medical care almost affordable.

As a concept, it’s a shit plan. In reality it will be extremely bad for all but the richest among us. America is truly barbaric to its own people.

8 years later, still riding that click-generating wave of “can you believe how racist this guy is?!”

Merrick Garland is a failure of epic proportions. It is a small silver lining that the Repugs blocked his Supreme Court nomination, not that their picks were better.
