Tone policing a genocide and the anger in the democrats once again selling us out to fascism rather than embrace anything remotely progressive. So liberal.

The coin toss during the caucus for starters. I’m home now, I’ll edit my comment in a bit. I worked for his campaign. It was beyond obvious that they were heavily weighing the scale against him.

I know a ton of republicans and people sympathetic to republicans. All of them thought bernie was a decent guy and they would of preferred him over Hillary.

Then after the primary he increasingly took up democrat talking points and would occasionally finger wag at them while not materially doing anything other than get angry in a speech. His embrace of democrats on gun control was a mistake, if he just maintained his view that he had most of his political career he’d court a lot of crossover voters. But now he’s far too old and the damage is done.

I voted for him multiple times, in primaries and eventually as my senator, but his milquetoast stance on Gaza made me for the first time vote against him for an independent. He’s really disappointed me over the past almost decade - I went from raising money and canvassing for him to finding him to be a has been and sell out. I still think he’s the best elected official on the national scale that we’ve got but I’m so disappointed in him.

No lmfao

Lol, biden against who? RFK Jr; the fake candidate that was a trumper the whole time? Who the democrats tried to block? Or who else, some no name nobody running a vanity campaign? There wasn’t a legitimate primary like there was in 2008 full of qualified competitive candidates. And so they lost.

Nobody following trumps footsteps has his charisma, which gives me a little comfort.

Lazy. Replace Gaza with “refuse to court base” and it would be a hell of a lot more accurate.

If there hasn’t been a worldwide turn to fascism then where the fuck is everyone? This isn’t just an American phenomenon.

And then we end up with 100 Supreme Court justices. It’s a childish solution.

I’m banned from most popular social media for being anti fascist. This is my very first post on lemmy, after IRL friends are losing their goddamn minds over this when I’ve been saying it since biden nominated himself. The day he announced he was running for reelection. Then in the last hour he drops out and Harris is nominated without a single vote… how could anyone not seen this coming?! I’ve ranted and raved about this to anyone who would listen IRL for months and I was told I was crazy.

I’m at work and on my phone so I don’t have the time to prove the 2016 shenanigans. 2020 was a coordinated effort to have all the candidates drop out just before Super Tuesday except no path to winning Warren, to split the progressive vote. It’s rigged. You’re naive.

No, at the end of the day it’s the political parties responsibility to run electable candidates. Not even having a primary makes it so they ran someone untested. And lost.

Enjoy brunch! “All my friends are queer”

Lmfao, I’m visibly queer and have been physically assaulted since I was a child in the 90s for it. The democrats have not nor ever been our friends. They manipulate us for votes. They refuse to see how THEIR ACTIONS made them lose an election they should of won in a landslide.

Keep minimizing a genocide, fascist.

As long as he drops dead of natural causes. If he gets assassinated he becomes a martyr.

You’re so woke you’re letting visibly queer people like myself live under threat of a fascist regime because you refused to hold your party accountable and “push to the left”.

They spit in our faces and minimize a fucking GENOCIDE and then expect us to vote for them? Fuck them and fuck you too.

They committed electoral fraud. The primaries were rigged in multiple states and multiple ways. They lose the trust of the voters, and their antics made me a life long anti democrat. And I hate the republicans too. I’m politically homeless and have been for a long time now.

And when inevitably the other side wins an election, what are they going to do but continue to pack the court? It’s not a good strategy.

Not 2008 Obama who was campaigning on a message. The Obama we ended up with was a nearly immediate disappointment. I think he lost all of his crossover support when he appointed the bankers into his cabinet while they wrecked the economy and destroyed the middle class with their legalized gambling.

The point I’m making all along is Obama, along with Hillary and numerous other competent qualified candidates, all had to compete for the nomination, giving us the strongest competitor for the general, which was won in a landslide. Even if Obama were a white man he would of likely won in similar margins because he had a relevant message to voters that didn’t boil down to “I’m not the other guy”.

LMFAO continue to bury your head in the sand and lose elections. How many coin tosses went in Hillary’s favor during the caucuses? That one example is statistically impossible and it’s just one of many.

I doubt anybody based their support on whether dick fucking Cheney was voting for Harris or not.

The fact that the democrats courted this war criminal instead of courting their base just goes to show how little they care about losing an election.

Foreign policy is the one single issue that is actually relevant to the presidency. Despite what recent history shows, constitutionally only the president can declare war, with the support of congress. Of course in practice we’ve been at war for all but a few years of our near 250 year (failing) empire.
