This is a perpetually idiotic take.
All the statistical evidence that we have, is that once Kamala was the candidate, her polling rose meteorically. Until she started to define herself as a candidate, when all we had were her words as former candidate to base her policy positions on, she was heading towards blue-wave-of-epic proportions territory. She named Walz as running mate and people thought they had someone to vote for herself
Then, during the convention, the definition began as a continuance of a corporate, Biden-esque, more-of-the-same, Democrat. They silenced Palestinian voices and shunned the progressive vote, while embracing Republicans and hawkish dem’s.
And her polling rapidly stagnated, then began to slide. As she slid further and further right, so did her polling.
Harris’ loss was not an inevitability, and to present it as such is to both misunderstand the political moment then, as it happened, and to misrepresent the ongoing political moment.
If Harris’ had ran on her 2020 campaign platform with Walz as vice, she wins. Hands down. The political pressure desperately seeking an outlet on issues like M4A, and so many other leftwing polciies isn’t new. Bernie got it started in 2016 and it never stopped growing. All she needed to do was step left and ride the wave. But she chose to make losing decisions. Her loss was not an inevitability and to present it as such is a form of lying.


a political moderate who supports democrats not right wingers.
Oh! Like how Chuck Schumer makes is able to make the claim of being a political moderate! While dogwalking Democrats to break with the party to protect the filibuster.
Of course. This is soooooo supportive of Democratic policy positions.


Or, and this might be completely revolutionary towards your thinking…
Maybe how you approach politics is harmful and supports rightwing movements.


others decided not to vote
And why is that?


What alternative did you provide them?
You do understand that your approach to rhetoric is fundamental to why Democrats lost and Trump won?


Is it possible there are some SNAP recipients taking advantage of the system?
Just make them universal.


Ahh yes. This tired, losing canard.
America will vote for immigrants. It will vote for women. It will vote for black people. It will vote to defend trans people.
It doesn’t want to vote for apologists to corporatism.
Its very clear.


Its not so much of a con, but the failures of a state captured by capitalism, where the very ideology and war-fighting philosophy of the state are outsourced.
This is a doctrine issue, and its not one that is inherently wrong, per se. Its just that its ended up being wrong in the world that evolved after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Until the utter psychopathy of the very modern era, Newsmax was one of the worst.
Pour one spoon of sweet and sour sauce.
Put one more wrapper on the other side, pinch the margins to seal.
Drop the shrimp dumpling in boiling water for 3 minutes or until cooked and remove using a slotted spoon.
So is there a sea horse emoji or not?
