Reckless like her continued support of Israel in their genocide against the Palestinian people, which lost her entire districts which may have voted otherwise? Or reckless like doing appearances with Dick fucking Cheney to appeal to an imaginary centrist voting block that isn't there, instead of pushing one single progressive policy? That kind of reckless?
Perfect. No notes.
Right! And there's still people mad at Muslim voters because they have been effectively disenfranchised from our political systems. People care just enough for a vote but don't care if elected officials are held accountable. As long as the pumpkin spice and reality TV keeps rolling we'll happily march ourselves to the labor and breading camps ourselves. But I'm sure the next "No kings" march will turn things around.
There we go. Live yer dreams, baby.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. I voted for Harris because I live in the real world and realized that the alternative was...
But a whoooole fuckton of people didn't, and it's pants on head stupid to disregard her shitty campaign's role in that.
They are one of those who love getting to blame voters for the failures of dnc and gop instead of the parties.
Not so. I blame the DNC a lot, and yes Harris made a choice to try and appeal to the mythical “moderates” which was dumb as hell but here we are. And when it gets all the way to election day, put up or shut up.
We’ll face the same thing again because evil pollsters and zombified consultants will show conclusive proof “moderates” vote and leftists don’t. You can’t build anything on nothing.
Yeah totally blaming the dnc mate
Not at this particular moment, no.
The fact is the voters have the final say. And they said.
the dnc courted the mythical moderate exclusively and got no votes therefore it's the lefts fault is just blaming the voters not dnc
Yes. It is. Because . . . c’mon you got this
Because the dnc doesn't want to win
Yeah. It does seem like that sometimes.
