Well I didn’t vote for it and my premiums are still going up $800 a month.
Did you cast a vote for Harris?
Tired of these talking points. So many leftists held their nose and voted for Harris. Not only do we not get adequate representation, but we also can't voice or opinion lest we "depress the vote"?
She was a dogshit candidate who depressed her own vote like when she tapped her brother-in-law from Uber and stopped pushing popular positions like workers rights, https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/04/us/politics/kamala-harris-tony-west.html
It's not a mystery.
For real.
Yes, Trump is the one fucking us. Yes, Harris wouldn't have fucked us this hard.
But these aren't problems we would have if the DNC had decided to do an actual primary instead of just handing their reins over to a senile old man and his hand-picked successor. That isn't how democracy works and its a big part of why we are so fundamentally fucked right now.
Or even, short of a primary, holding a single position everyone fucking wants instead of using horror of the other guy to push their distasteful oligarch fellating agenda on america against basically everyone's wishes.
They're more interested in beating us than beating fascism, and that means they're on team fasch. Never blue. Never again. Not at any level.
