If she's not going out now, fighting and making the case against and rallying the troops against Trump and fascism now, I'm not interested in her.

MODERATORS
She was offering tax credits and small down payments to a population where 70% of people are paycheck to paycheck. While telling them everything is great.
She NEVER cared about the people
She's done nothing to help the people who supported her after her flop. I think she's cooked unless she comes back out of the grave in 4 years going "I'm actually cool now, right?!"
A move we call “The Hillary”
Oh I’m not fucking torn on it.
I think you should leave. You failed to rise to the occasion. You listened to your dipshit consultants and the party establishment and AIPAC and other moneyed interests instead of the people. There is no strike two. It’s one and done. Get the fuck out, Harris.
They are not alone in this thought.
Walz and AOC are the candidates worth talking about right now, because they're the ones showing leadership.
Go away, Kamala. And Biden, along with plenty of others.
Stay the fuck home. You’ve had your shot and failed.
I'm voting Walz, he was the only other reason i was voting harris besides preventing the dictator.
How about some electoral reform so we can vote outside the 2 party system without a spoiler effect.
How about a god damned primary?
Is this a purity test to far? I guess i just feel entitled to democracy, what can i say.
I'm pretty sure there will be primaries... People just have to fucking vote in them for once.
No. She wasn't a good candidate ANY time she ran.
💯
She ran a terrible campaign. She COULD have won. She made material decisions around who to listen to and how to campaign that prevented it.
They ran a "flawless" campaign, they says
Just run a white dude. Sucks to say but that's where our imbecilic nation lays. A white dude that isn't 100 ffs
Bullshit, rejecting Hillary and Kamala does not mean women can't win.
Voters rejected Biden during a primary so hard he dropped out despite him and the DNC assuring everyone it was over and literally no one still in it
Does that mean an old white neoliberal can't win?
Policy might not matter. But rhetoric does. And it will have been 20 years next presidential elections since Dems ran one with popular rhetoric
Why not try that again?
jfc christ exactly.
How is it that some of you take perpetually the wrong lessons from electoral politics (not you @givesomefucks@lemmy.world, the person you are responding to).
Where are you getting these pudding headed takes?
SHE RAN WITH LIZ FUCKING CHENEY PEOPLE!!
The war criminals nepo daughter.
The name TWO GENERATIONS of voters learned to blame for the dysfunction which was Iraq and Afghanistan. A name Democratic voters were litterally conditioned to hate.
Liz Cheney, an incumbent who lost her primary with 27% of the vote. Thats who Harris decided to run with.
Just..
Just notice how technocratic and neoliberal the original take is. The idea behind it, is that you just need to line up the perfect set of identities and qualifications, and then, then they'll win. Its the exact worm-brained thinking that gave us Hillary Clinton. That's the way to win elections. When they fucking blow it because the person has because thats not how fucking elections work, they have an easy fucking way to wash their hands by blaming sexism.
Guys: What was her fucking platform? Can anyone in this room tell me what the FUCK Harris was actually running on? Like other than "I want to be President", what the fuck was she proposing in 2024?
And then she ran HARD to the right. She fucking ran to the right of fucking Biden for ffs.
And like, I don't think we should be (necessarily) talking about Harris either, but not because of her identity or race, but because she ran a dog shit fucking campaign and threw what should have been a fucking lay up with how deeply unpopular Trump is. And she blew it because she listened to people who give advice like OP. I think when you blow an election like she did, any one, you just gotta go away from electoralism, like (thankfully) Hillary did.
But don't stop giving us ladies to run. Run Warren again. Run AOC. Run Porter. But jesus christ stop pretending that voters base their entire fucking vote on the identity of the candidate as an excuse to run dogshit neoliberal campaigns.
stop pretending that voters base their entire fucking vote on the identity of the candidate as an excuse to run dogshit neoliberal campaigns.
Preach.
Fat lot of good it'll likely do, but still.
An unbelievably true take.
Kamala Harris toned down her attacks on big business, she made no plans to improve America’s health care system other than vague promises to cancel debt, touted the endorsement of war criminal Dick Cheney who wanted to invade seven countries in five years and whom was partially responsible for the deaths of over a million, spent half as much time focusing on the most important issues during her campaign compared to Trump, and touted a Fortune 500 investment banking company‘s endorsement for her economic plans which made her look like an out of touch elitist especially when said company can only be described as a "great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money".
All Harris brought to the table was “freedom” meanwhile Trump came out with populist rhetoric and people seemed to like Trump’s rhetoric more considering that they have long since become disillusioned with the Status Quo.
it’s sad, but true.
The only way we are getting a woman in the White House is when MAGA convinces Ivanka to run.
"Women can't win" is just an excuse to shut out AOC.
Sure, if we ignore the historical data, a woman at the top of the Democratic ticket 100% has a real shot at winning the White House.
AOC is obviously one of the only people within the party who gives a damn, and is fighting - but putting her on the ticket isn’t going to end well at this moment in history. Voters are clearly terrified to not have an old white man in the Oval Office
Sure, if we ignore the historical data, a woman at the top of the Democratic ticket 100% has a real shot at winning the White House.
During the past two times that a woman has run for president, it has been in a time in which people want change. In both cases, we've had a centrist candidate who represents the untenable status quo.
All the "a woman can't win" line does is hold back all women because democrats don't want a particular woman to be able to run.
There isn't anything more to it.
