Its been over a year and people still are freaking out about this? And not the fact that the democrats have basically rolled over at every turn to trump and the GOPs demands?

The dems did not do s good job mobilizing their voter base. A bunch of people didnt like genocide. A bunch of people didnt like Biden. A bunch of people held their nose and voted for him the first time when he said he would get rid of student loans and be a one term president. He reneged on almost every single promise he made. He then committed genocide. People didnt like it. The DNC shoved him and Kamala down everyone's throats instead of having an actual election. They've fucked themselves 3 cycles in a row now and then start complaining about socialists.

They were all vote blue no matter who when it was Biden or Kamala but now Mamdani won in NY and they're all teaming up with the Republicans to stop him. Maybe thats why they keep fucking losing - they dont want to listen to their own base.

What do regular people want? Higher taxes on the rich, more affordable housing and food, Healthcare for all, and good education. All they've done is say well this will hurt billionaires feelings so we cant do it.

Well under a year, a year isn't very fucking long, and of fucking course we're freaking out about the fact that the country was handed over to Nazis, what kind of Nazi wouldn't be freaking out?

They were all vote blue no matter who when it was Biden or Kamala but now Mamdani won in NY and they’re all teaming up with the Republicans to stop him.

Jesus fucking Christ. You people live in a fantasy land of your own devising.

It's funny, then, that regular people seem so often to vote against all those things, both in primaries and in the general election. But I'm sure it's the fault of the DEMS in some way. Can't face up to the fact that the electorate needs to fucking change, no sir, everything is the fault of Blue Circus not being entertaining enough for you lot to save marginalized groups from genocide. Maybe if the careerist politicians in the DNC are more entertaining next time, you'll think about voting against the Nazis, huh?

No, this post is freaking out about Kamala.

How do i live in a fantasy world? Mamdani won, and the democrats other than Bernie and AOC refused to endorse him. They would rather Eric Adams, who is Trumps little removed, stayed in power. Or Andrew Cuomo.

Its funny that the dems keep using all those things as a carrot to get people to vote for them but then never actually do anything with them. No one is asking for politicians to be more entertaining, im not sure where you got that from my post. I would rather they weren't entertaining but actually listened to their constituents. The democrats absolutely have failed to listen to their constituents since Obama.

Their constituents wanted Bernie in 2016. Deb Wasserman Schulz and the DNC said no its her turn and gave it to Hilary, who had no chance of beating trump. Then they won with Biden because everyone was sick of trump, not because of anything great Biden did. Biden made a bunch of promises, the big one being that he would be a one term president. That didnt happen. The democratic voters very clearly said they didnt want genocide. Biden hopped in with Netenyahu.

The fact that you still cant wrap your head around the fact that people might care about a genocide happening and not want to vote for a someone enacting it just because the next person would keep enacting what was already started is pretty troubling about your sense of morality.

No, this post is freaking out about Kamala.

Are you aware that there was only one realistic alternative to the Nazi candidate in 2024?

Waoh look at all these Congresscritters who didn't endorse him

Lord, and a dose of Obama nostalgia to go with it.

Jesus fucking Christ, a fantasy world indeed. Would you like to remind me by what numbers the Dem constituency voted in the 2016 Primary, and, for that matter, what the vote for the 2016 General was wrt the presidential candidates?

The fact that you still cant wrap your head around the fact that people might care about a genocide happening and not want to vote for a someone enacting it just because the next person would keep enacting what was already started is pretty troubling about your sense of morality.

The candidate who criticized the former administration for not supporting the genocide enough and promised to do everything in his power to help Israel wipe out the Palestinian people?

I'm sorry that you don't see a difference between increasing support for genocide and decreasing support for genocide. I guess the hundreds of thousands of additional Palestinians who are going to die in Gaza and the West Bank don't matter as much as virtue signaling how against genocide you are. Very moral, though, I'm sure your soul will be pure as snow when you pass on to the Leftist Afterlife or whatever the fuck you're trying to murder marginalized groups for.

Your reading comprehension is ridiculously low and you seem to just want to start fights for no reason You dont have any points to make you just attack others for disagreeing with you. "The democrats have failed to listen to their constituents since obama"

This has nothing to do with Obama nostalgia, it has to do with the fact that its a simple fact. If you remember in 08 the establishment didnt want him either, but he rode a huge wave that was too big to ignore.

Since then the dems have screwed their own elections on 3 separate occasions. Bernie would have been a better choice than Kamala this time around.

But you dont seem to want to engage with any facts that exist outside of your own little bubble so you know what, do you. I hope youre not as miserable in real life

ITT: A bunch of people who think getting Trump elected was the right thing to do, because harm reduction is bad.

They don't get that [class] war is dirty and aren't willing to get their purity dirty.
