I don't have a citation for you of Kamala saying exactly that- but yeah that was more a Biden line.

One of the frustrations was that they would be talking about how the economy was doing great... if you were a homeowner. The inflation was also in things like rent which they have no intent on really addressing, but disproportionately gets omitted from broader stats regarding inflation despite people getting $500+ rent increases shortly after the end of the COVID eviction protections.

The origins of “the far left” (as I understood it) was basically promoting heavy government involvement. For example, breaking up monopolies, many government subsidied programs for it’s people, which in turn needs higher taxes for it people (so the rich get taxed more, the poor get taxed less).

People on the far left were actually interested in expropriation of private property and a more egalitarian distribution of those resources and decisionmaking. They also wanted actual democracy (as in power to the people) rather than Democracy™ where it's only for a handful of the population who aren't getting actively disenfranchised.

If you nationalize industries you get to use the profits directly, rather than messing around with taxes after the fact.

Democrats deserve contempt for supporting a genocide trying to win at electoralism and still losing.

Agreed, though that's also why I don't think anyone is expecting the EU to be particularly helpful either

The point is that the US was never really helping the people of gaza, just enabling the people murdering them.

support for the cause has been trending among young women voters who are vowing to swear off men.

Remember when Joe Biden had them make an "aid pier" that was only really used to launch a massacre from before it collapsed?

Americans, the bombs getting used to vaporize the children of Gaza are paid for with your taxes.

I think we can safely say trans people would have been safer under the Dems.

Unless they're Palestinian, in which case it's open season.

You helped get trump elected, even if indirectly. Third party voters are essentially what allowed him to win.

If you added every third party vote to Democrats in swing states they would still have lost by a large margin. Democrats were the ones who let the COVID-era mail in voting end because they were so hard for ending COVID money to people. Seems like a self-own.

You chose Trump

I already said I voted for a non-genocidal candidate (PSL). My vote had no impact on the election and America is not really a democracy anyway.
