I absolutely despise trump. With that said, I hope we never see her as president. She's insanely out of of touch with the common folk. I'd much rather see AOC or that Texas democrat dude with the ears

I will take any functioning adult who I can not easily visualize mentally as a 1940's German officer.

If she shut up and went away, then protesters probably wouldn't bother her.

Yeah, we know. Those folks are just reminding you, why.

And wow, Trump is so much better than Harris would have been for Gaza!

Gaza was a stupid cause to get hung up on, I am not saying it isn't important, it is extremely important, but letting the cheeto win just to spite Harris for not supporting Gaza enough was stupid

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 55 points 5 days ago

Oh, I am with you, friend. Unfortunately, being on the same side as him, just "not as bad", definitely didn't do her campaign any favors. Especially among low information voters, who are really just taking everyone at their word. While Trump was boldly asserting himself as anti-war, Harris was just giving vague, wishy-washy answers, that relied on far too much nuance. American voters don't like to think that hard.

Not surprising after she banned Gazan supporters and a local Democrat legislator at her own DNC rally.

Absolute garbage mound of a candidate and campaign that completely deserves to be thrashed by the very constituency she refused to acknowledge.

Bunch of you failure shills in this comments still thinking this was a progressive candidate need to look at literally any of her responses to questions about public policy. Nothing but a 1:1 copy of Biden's equally shit tier response to major internal and external issues, and very obviously way more right leaning than Obama.

I still remember some of you outright denying the existence of Gaza protestors at DNC events, as if any news outlet reporting it was a Russian compromised asset, and any user on lemmy.world supporting such action was a lemmy.ml Chinese spam bot in disguise.

Goddamn these fucking protesters are such inauthentic losers. So "brave" yet terrified to protest the Trump administration.

Fucking phonies. They don't even remotely give a shit about Palestinians.

[–] BCBoy911@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (26 children)

The pro-Palestine movement is protesting against the Trump administration almost every day. Just because Democrats are one degree better doesn't mean they get a pass for supporting the modern-day Holocaust for 16 months and handing the country on a silver platter to Trump.

Every Democrat who played a part in propping up the inanimate corpse of Biden and supported the genocide in 2024 need to be run out of politics and reminded of their miserable fucking FAILURE to stop fascism for the rest of their lives.

Same people attacking any suggestion that their inaction let the orange monkey back into the WH. But hey, 'it wasn't me who voted him in', right?

Kamala Harris ran on a pro-genocide platform and was very supportive of Israel. This was one of the reasons why she lost.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 62 points 4 days ago (11 children)

Here we go again with the “we hate Israel so we won’t vote for Kamala and allow Trump to win so he can supply Israel with more bombs” crowd. Brother the entire ticket was pro Israel. Stop blaming this one issue as the reason she lost.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The person said "one of the reasons", as in one reason out of many. Sorry to be flippant, but jeez, people really need to learn to read.

[–] TheJesusaurus@sh.itjust.works 18 points 4 days ago (11 children)

But how can it be one of the reasons when her opponent was way worse on this issue, and all the other issues

What, specifically, was the "pro genocide platform"? Because I remember that election pretty well, and I don't recall any advocacy of genocide, at least not from Harris.

Let's be honest for one second. Here's how American politics on Israel actually breaks down:

Democrats: often criticize Netanyahu but never actually cut off aid. However, several Democrats already opposed continuing aid to Israel and the rest of the party conceivably could listen to growing opposition to Israel's war.

Republicans: actively hate all poor brown people and want Israel to kill them all. They will also use deportations and any other means available to silence anyone voicing opposition to said killing of all poor brown people.

I get that neither choice is perfect, but I really can't see why it's a struggle.

Trump is doing a fantastic job supporting Israel in her place
